French legion of Honor to Lamia Bsat, President of the Bassil Fuleihan Institute of Finance
11-4-2017
The French Ambassador to Lebanon, Emmanuel Bonne, handed the director of the Institut des Finances Basil Fuleihan (IoF), Lamia Mbayyed Bsatt, the national order of Legion of Honor from the rank of Knight. It should be noted, that Bsat has earlier received the same order of distinction on July 13, 2015 from French President Francois Hollande in recognition of her efforts to promote Lebanese-French relations and build sustainable partnerships with French and European institutions. On the occasion, Bonn praised the accomplishment of the chair of IoF which has become an established pillar for the rehabilitation and training of employees in public departments in Lebanon and for strengthening the state-run establishments. The ambassador also lauded Bsat’s commitment to support the construction of the state of institutions in the country and her contribution to towards a credible public administration. Bonn mentioned Bsat’s role in research on good governance, especially through IoF’s periodic newsletter specialized in state finance and the modernization of the state. This, Bonn maintained, has helped in enriching debate and enhancement of the public sector in terms of future state policies, commending also her role in enlivening regional cooperation and dialogue through her participation in the launch of the Governance Institutes Forum for Training in the Middle East and North Africa region – GIFT-MENA whose secretariat is hosted by the IoF. Bsat, in her turn, pledged to carry on with her mission armed with a solid belief in the State and its institutions and pride in engaging in state service. “Realizing peace and development is impossible outside a strong state,” Bsatt said, stressing that achieving a capable and powerful public administration prompts the building of human capital. “This undoubtedly means the building of a modern and equal opportunity management of employment based on merit and skill, and a continuous development of competencies,” Bsatt concluded.
