Saint-Cloud, France, September 22nd,
2020 – To help Lebanon after the tragic explosion of
August 4th, 2020 in the port of Beirut, and in response to the call
for mobilization launched by the President of the French Republic,
Dassault Aviation has decided to sign an agreement to support the
Lebanese NGO Nawraj.
Under the agreement, Dassault Aviation will buy
and dispatch medical equipment worth €150,000 for a hospital in the
Gemmayze district, which suffered extensive damage in the
blast.
The agreement was signed today, at Dassault
Aviation headquarters in Saint-Cloud, by Mr. Fouad Abou Nader,
President of Nawraj, and Eric Trappier, Dassault Aviation Chairman
and CEO. His Excellency Mr. Rami Adwan, Ambassador of Lebanon in
Paris, Ambassador Pierre Duquesne, Interministerial Delegate in
charge of Mediterranean Affairs, and Mr. Gwendal Rouillard, member
of the National Assembly representing Morbihan who co-chairs the
study group on Christians in the Middle East and minorities,
honored the ceremony with their presence.
"We were greatly affected by the tragedy in
Beirut. Dassault Aviation has a long history of friendship with
Lebanon. The country's air force has been equipped with Mirage III
and several Lebanese nationals are loyal Falcon customers", said
Eric Trappier. "Contributing to the movement of solidarity
initiated by the French President, Mr. Emmanuel Macron, is an
obvious choice for us."
