The following solidarity message by UN Secretary-General António Guterres to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon was issued today:
Earlier this week, I had the privilege of speaking with representatives of your countries here in New York. Today, I want to speak to you directly.
I want to say to you what I said to them: I am full of admiration and gratitude to the men and women of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). I am so proud of you — and I know your countries are proud of you, too.
