Check out these photos taken in China's First UN Peacekeeping Infantry Battalion in South Sudan
A senior United Nations (#UN) official has lauded China's first peacekeeping infantry battalion in South Sudan for their professionalism and hard work in safeguarding peace and stability in the world's youngest nation.
"We are extremely happy here in South Sudan that we have the first Chinese infantry battalion in peacekeeping. They have been very hard-working," said Ellen Loej, UN Special Representative of the Secretary General and head of UN Mission in South Sudan.
The Chinese battalion, which consists of three infantry companies and one supply company, has 700 peacekeepers. The peacekeepers have been tasked with protecting civilians as well as UN personnel and facilities. They have also participated in humanitarian relief and street patrolling since their deployment this April.
