The BLCC marks a significant milestone in business and trade ties between Lebanon and the UK.
The launch event was attended by Minister of Economy and Trade Amer Bisat, Lebanese business leaders, entrepreneurs, and future potential members.
The BLCC is an official non-profit organisation and will become a proud member of the British Chambers of Commerce International Network, which spans over 75 chambers worldwide.
Supported by the British Embassy in Beirut, the BLCC aims to serve as a strategic bridge between British and Lebanese business communities facilitating partnerships, providing market insights, and advocating for the shared interests of its members.
Its mission is to promote bilateral trade and investment, support businesses seeking to expand across both markets, and foster a trusted network that encourages collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth.
British Ambassador and Honorary President of the BLCC Hamish Cowell said
The launch of the British Lebanese Chamber of Commerce represents a vital step in strengthening commercial partnerships between the UK and Lebanon and creating new opportunities for businesses in both countries.
Farid Chedid, Chairman of the BLCC said
The role of the Chamber is to act as a strategic bridge anchoring Lebanese enterprise to British standards, while enabling British businesses to engage Lebanon with clarity, prudence, and long-term vision.
Amer Bisat, Minister of Economy and Trade said
The British Lebanese Chamber of Commerce will be the platform to increase exports and investment between our two countries, and an important part of our transition as an economy and a country moving from recovery into global prosperity.
The BLCC invites Lebanese and British businesses to join its growing network and take advantage of the resources, advocacy, and connectivity it offers.
