UAE provides military, security equipment to Chad

The UAE has sent military vehicles and security equipment to Chad to help the country in combatting terrorism and enhancing border protection measures.

Rashid Saeed Al Shamsi, UAE Ambassador to Chad, delivered the supplies to Lieutenant General Daoud Yahya Brahim, Chad’s Minister of Defence who was accompanied by high-ranking Chadian military officials.

Brahim thanked the UAE’s ongoing support, which he said will contribute to restoring peace and stability in the region.

The UAE's latest initiative falls within the framework of its strong ties with Chad at various levels, which have resulted in the signing of several bilateral agreements, including a military cooperation agreement in June during the official visit of Mahamat Idriss Deby, Chairman of Chad's Transitional Military Council, to Abu Dhabi.
