On the United Nations Day, Ambassador Christina Lassen, Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Lebanon, made the following remarks:
"Today we mark the 71st anniversary of the entry into force of the UN Charter. I would like to take this occasion to thank and congratulate all UN colleagues working in the agencies and programmes in Lebanon under the leadership of UN Special Coordinator Sigrid Kaag and Deputy Special Coordinator Philippe Lazzarini. Our thoughts are also today with the men and women serving in UNIFIL under Force Commander Michael Beary, including in particular those coming from EU Member States.
The UN and the EU are key partners in Lebanon in many areas: human rights and democracy, including access to justice, right to liberty and security, and elections; women’s rights, children’s rights, refugee crisis or humanitarian assistance.
Together with the UN, the EU works to support Lebanon and the Lebanese people."
