The Lebanese High Relief Commission, HRC, has praised the important and pioneering role played by the UAE in the humanitarian relief field, and for providing support to the Lebanese Government and the hosting society, especially in light of the large numbers of Syrian refugees born in Lebanon.
The remarks were made when Hamad Saeed Sultan Al Shamsi, UAE Ambassador to Lebanon, received an HRC delegation led by Major General Mohammed Khair, Secretary-General of the HRC, at the embassy on Saturday.
Khair extended his appreciation to the UAE's leadership and people for their unlimited charitable aid in more than one field at the Lebanese avenue. He also wished for further increasing co-ordination between the two fraternal countries.
Ambassador Al Shamsi, in turn, stressed that the UAE is committed to humanitarian and relief work, attaching great importance and priority to it and giving it the most important space in its belief in the importance of helping, alleviating suffering and preserving human dignity. This is a culmination of the Year of Giving Initiative, launched by President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
They also reviewed humanitarian projects in Lebanon.
