New batch of Nepali peacekeepers in Lebanon

Brigadier General Melchor Marin Elvira of Spain welcomed the Nepali delegation to the mission on Monday.

In Lebanon this past year, Nepali soldiers worked day in and day out to establish peace along the sensitive ‘Blue Line’, the border between Lebanon and Israel that stretches 120km. A contingent of Nepal Army peacekeepers has been playing an important role in controlling the conflict there for a year. The area is located to the south-east of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
