Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On May 22, 2017, China sent the 16th batch of peacekeeping troops to Lebanon for a one-year mission period. This mission ended officially at the next rotation ceremony on May 22nd, 2018. This group consisted of 180 multi-function military engineers, 200 construction engineers and 30 medical workers. An additional 210 officers and soldiers were scheduled to set off on May 25, 2017. China has sent United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (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. See Record ID#41114 for the umbrella project.
