Description
In 2002, China donated landmine detection equipment to Lebanon. The initial agreement was signed in 2001. The equipment includes 50 mine detectors and 100 protective jackets. China also sent mine experts and technicians to train the Lebanese army in using the equipment. The value of the equipment is unknown, but a NGO source aggregated landmine equipment donations from China to both Eritrea and Lebanon at $3 million. No financial value has been found for only Lebanon.
