Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On December 5, the first batch of more than 200 peacekeepers of the 22nd Chinese peacekeeping force to Lebanon boarded a chartered flight in Kunming, Yunnan Province, and flew overseas to carry out the one-year peacekeeping mission. On December 8th, the handover ceremony was held between the 21st and 22nd peacekeeping force. The 22nd Chinese peacekeeping force consists of three contingents. Among them, the multi-role engineering company will undertake tasks including mine clearance and explosive disposal, Blue Line boundary marker erection, engineering construction, and humanitarian relief. In the Lebanese mission area, the Chinese peacekeeping multifunctional engineering detachment is responsible for multiple tasks such as mine clearance and explosive disposal, engineering construction, medical assistance and humanitarian relief. China has sent UNFIL peacekeeping forces to Lebanon every year from 2006 to 2020. The program was temporarily suspended due to COVID-19 on June 30, 2020, but reinstated in August 2020 to respond to the Beirut explosion. This project is linked to Record ID#41114 which details the entirety of the project.
