The proceedings commenced at Lancaster House, from where Ambassador Berri departed in the official State Coach to the Palace to present her letters of credence to the King. This ceremonial act marks the official commencement of her diplomatic mission and the beginning of a new chapter in Lebanon's diplomatic representation in London, aimed at strengthening the historical ties between the two nations.

Furthermore, Ambassador Berri—daughter of Nabih Berri, Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament—held extensive meetings with members of the Lebanese and Arab communities in London. She emphasized the role of the Embassy as a home for all Lebanese nationals and reiterated her commitment to addressing their concerns and enhancing communication with the diaspora in service of the national interest.
