Cambodia marks decade of UN peacekeeping participation
Cambodia will continue joining peacekeeping operations in countries when there are requests from the United Nations, Prime Minister Hun Sen said.
Over the past decade, Cambodian troops joining UN peacekeeping operations have successfully fulfilled their tasks, including landmine clearance, infrastructure construction and health care, which have been hailed by international community, he said.
Since 2006, 3,557 Cambodian troops have joined the UN peacekeeping missions in African countries, including Sudan, South Sudan, Central African Republic and Mali. Four of them were killed and five others wounded during their missions.
