Banque BEMO sal

Dr. Riad Obegi, Chairman and General Manager of Banque BEMO, accompanied by his advisor, Ms. Joumana Hobeika, visits President of the Association of Lebanese Industrialists Salim Zeenni.

We invite you to read the press release issued following the meeting, as published by Al Markazia, and relayed by several media outlets in Lebanon.

The release highlights the importance of institutional dialogue in strengthening Lebanese-Syrian economic and industrial relations, while emphasizing the need for practical approaches that facilitate exchange, support joint initiatives, and develop concrete cooperation between the private sectors of both countries.

You can read the press release in the link in bio.

Banque BEMO and its partners in the national writing competition — Dreaming Lebanon: Let the Walls Speak — extend their deepest gratitude to the distinguished jury members of the fourth edition.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Across the Arabic, French, and English juries, the remarkable members gave something rare and irreplaceable: their time, their expertise, and their genuine attention to over 600 submissions from students across Lebanon.

Their role went far beyond evaluation. It was an act of listening — carefully, respectfully, and with full recognition that behind every submission stood a young writer finding their voice, reaching for words, and dreaming Lebanon.

In doing so, they became more than judges. They became guardians of something meaningful: the belief that young people deserve to be heard, and that their stories matter.

The members of the juries were as follows:

Arabic Jury
Former Bar President Me. Amal Haddad,
Journalist Rosette Fadel, Ms. Dima Rifai,
Professor Ghada Al Zaatari.

French Jury
President of “Rêver le Liban” initiative Ms. Nevine Toutounji Hage Chahine, founder of Assabil Association Mr. Antoine Boulad, Author Zeina Saleh Kayali and Professor Arwa Sleiman.

English Jury
Journalist Maya Ghandour, Ms. Ghina Achkar and Professor Ghada Itani.

To each of them — thank you. Your dedication is woven into every story this competition will carry forward.
