The agreement, endorsed by the Italian Defence Staff, provides the deployment of MNCG CIMIC Operators to carry out training and consultancy activities in favor of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) regarding border management. A new commitment for the Multinational CIMIC Group that is still committed, through the deployment of its operators, in seven different operational scenarios, from the Balkans to the Middle East, from Africa to the Mediterranean Basin.

The project, funded by the European Union, stems from a strong desire to provide support to the Lebanese authorities in border security and control, in increasing the security of its citizens, in promoting regional stability and in facilitating trade and development.
