ISTANBUL, Nov 7 — Malaysia is ready to help Lebanon rebuild following the conflict that has affected the country, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
He said this could include rebuilding infrastructure and local economies, providing humanitarian assistance, offering Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), and strengthening defence cooperation to enhance Lebanon’s capabilities and resilience.
“Malaysia and Lebanon share a special friendship, particularly through Malaysia’s involvement in peacekeeping operations under the Malaysian Battalion (MALBATT) since 2007.
“For nearly two decades, our peacekeepers have played an important role in supporting peace and stability in southern Lebanon,” he said here today.
