As part of the Month of the Francophonie, the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK), in collaboration with the Embassy of Mexico in Lebanon, organized a conference on: "Carlos Fuentes: A Cultural Bridge between France and Mexico", given by Mr. Steven Milon, Consul of the Mexican Embassy in Lebanon.

This event, hosted by the Latin American Studies and Culture Center (CECAL), in collaboration with the Faculty of Letters, took place on Monday, March 26, 2018, at 2:00 p.m., in the Auditorium of Building B.

With more than forty books translated into French, a large exposure in the world of letters, journalism and French public opinion, Carlos Fuentes, former ambassador in Paris, was also one of the main cultural ambassadors of Mexico in France. His work has helped to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the two countries and represents an example of the breakthrough of Latin American thought in France.
