Lebanon has been elected to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for the 2026–2028 term, marking a significant diplomatic achievement and reinforcing the country’s presence on the international stage.
ECOSOC is one of the principal bodies of the United Nations, responsible for coordinating global efforts on economic development, social progress, and international cooperation. Lebanon’s election grants it a stronger platform to contribute to discussions on sustainable development, poverty reduction, humanitarian response, and multilateral partnerships.
The appointment reflects continued international engagement with Lebanon and signals renewed confidence in its diplomatic role within global institutions. As a member of ECOSOC, Lebanon will participate in shaping policy frameworks that influence UN agencies, development programs, and global socio-economic strategies.
Observers view the move as a positive step for Lebanon’s foreign relations, offering opportunities to strengthen cooperation with international partners and expand its involvement in key global initiatives during the 2026–2028 mandate.
