[Explanation] After more than two months of continuous fighting, the twentieth batch of Chinese multifunctional engineering units for peacekeeping in Lebanon successfully completed the task of erecting a military fence for the Malaysian barracks, which was highly praised by UNIFIL and friendly forces.

  [Explanation] The current security situation in Lebanon is still grim. Insecurity and unstable factors have increased, posing a serious threat to the security of peacekeeping forces. The military fence that needs to be built this time is 1,500 meters long, which can prevent armed elements from harassing the peacekeeping camps. Play a great defensive role to ensure the safety of peacekeepers.

  Thank you very much to our friends from the Chinese camp. Your camp completed the construction task of renovating the perimeter fence of our camp.

Thank you very much for your cooperation and support. Next time you come back, we will fully support and unite to complete the work. Thank you.

  [Explanation] In accordance with the mission requirements of the UNILI Engineering Office, after receiving the mission, our peacekeeping officers and soldiers first conducted on-site surveys of the mission points, calculated the amount of engineering tasks, formulated the construction schedule and construction schedule, and evaluated the possibility of construction during the construction period. A risk assessment was carried out for the existing safety hazards, and masks were worn throughout the construction period to ensure the safe and efficient completion of the construction tasks.

  [Explanation] Zhang Pinghu, the first-level sergeant chief who performed the peacekeeping mission for the second time, used his 26-year experience in the army to solve many technical problems and made tools to improve the efficiency of construction operations.

  Our construction area is basically on the edge of the cliff, but also at the air outlet. The wind is very strong, which brings great difficulties to the construction. In order to speed up the construction progress, we made a small tool called a tightener to make the construction work. The efficiency has been increased by more than half.

  [Explanation] This is the first construction task completed by the multifunctional engineer team for peacekeeping in Lebanon. The construction time is mainly during the dry season in Lebanon. The outdoor temperature is close to 40 degrees Celsius. For eight hours, the work site is often on the edge of a steep cliff. The terrain is complex, coupled with the tight schedule, and the heavy construction tasks. This is a big challenge for operators who perform peacekeeping construction for the first time.

  Since the construction work began on August 26, as of today, we have all completed the erection of the Malaysian Battalion’s military protective fence. This is the first work completed by our construction engineering company since it was deployed to the mission area. The Military Engineering Office and the Malaysian Battalion spoke highly of it. In the follow-up missions, we will continue to demonstrate China's speed, quality, and standards.
