BEIRUT: 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.
