The minister explains that, as part of a European Union security and military assistance program, the EU proposed sending a European mission to support Lebanon’s armed forces, including the Lebanese Army and security forces, particularly in the areas of logistical support and training.
He stresses that this mission has nothing to do with the border or border security, which are entirely separate matters. He concludes by noting that the proposal has already been discussed and agreed upon with the Ministries of Defense and Interior. It will now be referred to the Council of Ministers for discussion, including a decision on which EU member states will participate in the mission
