Total Liban inaugurated a French language laboratory at the Fouad Chehab Academy for Command and General Staff in Hazmieh on 15 February, 2017. The ceremony was attended by representatives from the Defense and Cooperation Mission of the French Embassy in Lebanon, Lebanese military figures and a delegation from Total Liban.
The new facility, which features computerized and interactive training tools for more effective learning, will enable the largest number of officers of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to benefit from French lessons in optimal and advanced learning conditions. Academy Commander Brigadier, General Ali Makki, said that the laboratory “will enable many Lebanese officers to develop their knowledge of the French language thus, benefit from the support that France provides to Lebanon in the field of Defense”.
This initiative is part of Total Liban’s ongoing support since 2010 to the Jeu de la langue française that was launched by the Defense and Cooperation Mission of the French Embassy in Lebanon to promote the French language and its use within the LAF.
