The Director of CIHEAM Montpellier warmly thanks the Minister of Agriculture, Abbas Hajj Hassan, whom he has already received on two occasions in Montpellier, for the support given to his request and, beyond that, for the mutual efforts made by the CIHEAM and Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture teams to develop cooperation in training, research and development cooperation.
It was thanks to the Minister, to whom CIHEAM Montpellier had applied to open an office in Beirut, that the Council of Ministers meeting on Saturday 10 February officially approved the application.
This is the first office that CIHEAM Montpellier has opened in one of the CIHEAM member countries, and as welcomed by the Council of Ministers, it reflects the growing cooperation between CIHEAM and the Lebanese State.
CIHEAM Montpellier has been developing its relations with Lebanon for some fifteen years: a major partnership with the Lebanese University of Beirut as part of the IDTE Master2 program and now DATEM; coordination of cooperation projects (HASAD and now SUPMED) which have led to the development of a very strong relationship with the Ministry of Agriculture. New projects are currently being prepared, which will further strengthen the partnership and justify the opening of an office in Beirut.
