Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On June 19, 2012, China's tenth batch of peacekeepers, composed of 275 officers and soldiers, went to Lebanon as part of the UN Interim Forces In Lebanon (UNIFIL). The force was comprised of companies for landmine clearing, engineering, logistics, and medicine. This batch served for 8 months, and received recognition medals from the UN on December 5, 2012. 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 Record ID#41114 for the full project.
