“Peacekeeping is not easy work, especially in times of crisis. But it is essential as it reflects the commitment of the international community under the framework of the United Nations,” says Lt. Gen. Aroldo Lazaro Saenz, head of mission for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
In an interview with CGTN correspondent Han Bin in Lebanon, Lt. Gen. Lazaro shared his approach to his responsibilities during the tensions last year. He discussed the challenges faced by peacekeepers and the significance of their role in maintaining stability in the region.
Lt. Gen. Lazaro emphasized the critical nature of UNIFIL’s mission, highlighting how peacekeeping efforts embody global solidarity and commitment to peace under the UN’s guidance. Despite the difficulties, he remains dedicated to fostering a safer environment through collaboration and resilience.
