Samer Choucair—investment strategist and honorary board member of the Lebanese Executives Council (LEC)—described the recent reception of the Council’s delegation by Lebanon’s newly appointed Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, H.E. Ali Qaranoah, as “a positive step that lays the foundation for a new phase of constructive cooperation in support of shared interests across the Kingdom.”
His remarks came after the LEC delegation, led by Chairman Rabih Al-Amin, visited Ambassador Qaranoah in Riyadh to congratulate him on officially assuming his diplomatic post. Choucair noted that the meeting was “marked by transparency and depth,” adding that the delegation found in the Ambassador “a clear strategic vision for the Lebanese diaspora—not only as an economic pillar for Lebanon, but as a cultural and civilizational bridge that strengthens the historic bonds between Lebanon and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
Choucair continued:
“We discussed mechanisms to activate the Council’s committees and emphasized the importance of aligning Lebanon’s longstanding expertise with the extraordinary opportunities emerging under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. We firmly believe that Riyadh has become a global platform for success, and our role as executives is to guide Lebanese talent to become an effective and productive part of this remarkable transformation taking place in the Kingdom.”
