Edgo Founder Honored by the French Government

26 April 2017

Edgo founder Munib R. Masri was appointed by decree of the President of France to the rank of Officer in the National Order of the Legion d’Honneur on Wednesday, 26 April, at the French Consulate in Jerusalem.

Established in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte, the Legion d’Honneur is the highest honor bestowed by the French government and is awarded for exceptional civil or military conduct.

Mr. Masri is the first Palestinian to be granted membership in the Legion d’Honneur.

At the ceremony, the French Consul in Jerusalem, Pierre Cochard, praised Mr. Masri for his work to promote peace in Palestine and noted that the establishment of the Palestine Development and Investment Company (PADICO) had made an enormous contribution to strengthening the country’s infrastructure and economy. He added that Mr. Masri’s tireless commitment to Palestine and peace in the Middle East was a message of hope for all young Palestinians.
