Description

On September 3, 2007, the third batch of Chinese peacekeepers arrived in Lebanon as part of China's contribution to the UN Interim Forces In Lebanon (UNIFIL). The force consisted of about 400 troops tasked with missions such as mine-sweeping, project construction, medical rescue, and humanitarian assistance. 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. See project ID #41114 for the full project.
