EU offers 1 billion euros to support Lebanon

The EU has offered Lebanon a financial package of 1 billion euros, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Thursday.

The funds would be available from this year until 2027, von der Leyen told a joint news conference with Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides. She also said the EU would support Lebanon's armed forces with equipment and training for border management.
