Since its establishment, the Forum has achieved many goals, including the publication of "La Revue Diplomatique", which is today at the forefront of specialized diplomatic and international relations in the Arab region."Editor-in-Chief of the "La Revue Diplomatique", Dr. Assem Jaber added: "The Lebanese Ministry of Information, under Science and News No. 857/2007 dated 29 November 2007, granted the Lebanese Ambassadors Forum a license to issue a quarterly non-political publication in Arabic, French and English (both simultaneously and within one issue), specializing in the diplomatic corps and its prospects in the name of "Diplomacy".
