Bassil Announces Implementation of Law on Restoring Lebanese Nationality for Expats
Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil announced on Thursday the launch of the implementation of the law on allowing expatriates to regain their Lebanese nationality.
He urged during a press conference on the expats that they should head to Lebanese embassies the world over to restore their nationality.
“This law was a dream and its now a reality,” he stressed.
“We are all soldiers for nationality and identity and we are soldiers for Lebanon to preserve the state and protect independence.”
Expats are the cornerstone of spreading Lebanese culture all over the world.
“You are the most effective way for Lebanon to relay its message to world,” Bassil stated.
Lawmakers from the Lebanese Forces and Free Patriotic Movement signed in 2015 the draft-law on allowing expatriates to regain their Lebanese nationality.
It was approved during a legislative session later that year.
