China Sends 350 Peacekeepers To South Sudan
A 350-member echelon of China’s seventh peacekeeping infantry battalion to Juba, South Sudan, on Thursday departed north China’s Tianjin on a one-year mission.
They are the first batch of the 700-strong peacekeeping infantry battalion dispatched by China to the East African country.
They have undergone a three-month training session covering more than 150 subjects to enhance their professionalism and emergency response capabilities.
The second echelon will depart for South Sudan in late December.
