UK Delivers 60 Tonnes of Land Rover Spare Parts to Lebanese Army
The British Embassy has delivered 60 tons of Land Rover spare parts and tyres to the Lebanese Army.
The British Ambassador to Lebanon Hamish Cowell oversaw the handover Wednesday at the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) Logistics Base in Kfarshima.
"This contribution – worth £2 million – underscores the United Kingdom's commitment to supporting the LAF in their efforts to maintain stability and security," read a statement issued by the British Embassy in Beirut.
"The package of 225 engines, 737 brand new tyres, and essential Land Rover spare parts will facilitate the servicing, repairs, and maintenance of over 440 military vehicles. This will strengthen operational readiness, mobility and road safety for the Land Border Regiments," it added.
Ambassador Cowell said that he is proud that the UK is able to contribute to the Lebanese Armed Forces’ resilience and operational readiness.
"The LAF plays a critical role, under the leadership of General Joseph Aoun, in safeguarding Lebanon and its people amid the prevailing challenges, especially with the ongoing cross border fighting in South Lebanon," he noted.
Cowell went on to say that the equipment is vital for the operations of the Land Border Regiments tasked with securing Lebanon's borders and combating smuggling and terrorist activities, as he reaffirmed the UK's "commitment to supporting the LAF and to strengthening Lebanon's security and stability."
