Vietnamese police officers honoured by UNMISS orders
VOV.VN - The UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) on October 4 awarded UN peacekeeping orders to three officers from the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security who are participating in the UN peacekeeping mission in the East African country.
The honoured officers include Colonel Le Quoc Huy, Senior Lieutenant Colonel Vu Viet Hung, and Lieutenant Colonel Luong Thi Tra Vinh, all of whom have shown outstanding performance in UN peacekeeping operations.
Upon addressing the event, Murat Isik, UN Police Chief of Staff for UNMISS, acknowledged and applauded Vietnamese police officers’ contributions to activities of the mission, while affirming that they have consistently shown professionalism, good discipline, high efficiency, and a great sense of responsibility.
He therefore proposed that the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security send more officers to UNMISS in the future.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Egypt and South Sudan Nguyen Huy Dung recognized the outstanding performance of the three peacekeepers who are the first officers sent by the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security to UNMISS. Along with performing their international mission, they have also acted as “cultural ambassadors” to promote the culture and image of the people and a peace-loving, humane and responsible country to international friends, he said.
The diplomat added his hopes that the officers will continue to work hard and overcome difficulties in order to complete their tasks. The Ministry of Public Security’s working group was deployed to UNMISS in October, 2022.
On August 12, President Vo Van Thuong signed a decision to dispatch three other police officers to perform UN peacekeeping mission at UNMISS. So far, Vietnam has deployed seven police officers to UN peacekeeping operations, including six to UNMISS and one to the UN headquarters.
