欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡娅·卡拉斯周四表示，欧盟计划建立一项新任务，旨在培训并为黎巴嫩武装部队提供建议。她强调，该任务不会取代联合国在黎巴嫩南部的维和部队。
The European Union is set to establish a new mission to train and advise the Lebanese armed forces, the bloc's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Thursday, stressing that the mission will not replace the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon.
在贝鲁特与黎巴嫩外交部长优素福·拉吉举行的联合新闻发布会上，卡拉斯指出，欧盟新支持任务的规划工作已经完成，且欧盟已收到黎巴嫩当局的正式邀请。她预计欧盟各国外长将于10月12日正式确立该任务。
Speaking at a press conference with Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji in Beirut, Kallas said planning for the EU's new support mission had been completed and that the bloc had received a formal invitation from Lebanese authorities. She said she expected EU foreign ministers to formally establish the mission on Oct. 12.
卡拉斯表示，该任务将为黎巴嫩武装部队和内部安全部队提供建议与协助，以加强领土控制、边境安全及内部安全。
她强调，该任务将根据联合国安理会第1701号决议运作，不会作为联合国驻黎巴嫩临时部队（联黎部队）的替代者。
"It will advise and assist the Lebanese armed forces and internal security forces to strengthen territorial control, border security, and also internal security," she said, stressing that the mission would operate in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and would not serve as a replacement for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
卡拉斯提到，联黎部队在黎巴嫩已发挥了近五十年的重要作用，目前各方正就联合国在黎巴嫩南部的未来存在进行讨论。她警告称，联黎部队撤离后不能出现安全真空。
Kallas said UNIFIL had played an important role in Lebanon for almost five decades, adding that discussions were underway about the future of the UN presence in southern Lebanon. "There cannot be a security vacuum when UNIFIL leaves Lebanon," she warned.
她表示，目前向联黎部队派遣士兵的欧洲国家未来可能参与组建国际部队，但强调此类部队必须获得联合国授权。
She said European countries currently contributing troops to UNIFIL could potentially contribute to a future international force, but stressed that such a force would require a UN mandate.
此外，卡拉斯还将黎巴嫩的稳定与邻国叙利亚的局势联系起来，并对贝鲁特与大马士革之间加强合作表示欢迎。
Kallas also linked Lebanon's stability to developments in neighboring Syria, welcoming stronger cooperation between Beirut and Damascus.
