European Council adopts assistance worth €6 million to the Lebanese Army benefit

The European Council adopted on Thursday an assistance measure worth €6 million to the benefit of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF).

 

Thus, the assistance measure will enhance the capabilities and the resilience of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to ensure the national security and stability of Lebanon through the enhancement of their military medical capacities, and the provision of equipment for the LAF’s operational personnel.

 

To achieve this objective, the assistance measure will finance healthcare equipment to support military medical services, and individual equipment, and it was requested by the Lebanese Minister of Foreign Affairs in October 2022.
