and the Lebanese Ministry of Culture provided local hospitality. The

India and Lebanon enjoy cordial and friendly relations based on many complementarities such as political system based on parliamentary democracy, non-alignment, human rights, commitment to a just world order, regional and global peace, liberal market economy and a vibrant entrepreneurial spirit. In the light of such commonalities, there is good potential for strengthening ongoing bilateral ties.
