BEIRUT: Belgium has decided to withdraw its 102-strong contingent from the U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon, UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti has said.
In remarks published Wednesday by the local daily An-Nahar, Tenenti said the withdrawal would take place at the end of December and was a "routine change" of the structure of UNIFIL. The spokesman said it would not affect the capabilities of the peacekeeping force.
He said the Lebanese government had been informed of the decision.
