It was the first time that the UNAMID conferred medal of honor on a peacekeeping unit since the UNAMID was set up on January 1, 2008. UN Under-Secretary-General Alain Le Roy highly praised China's contributions to world peace and expressed gratitude to the Chinese peacekeepers in Darfur for their outstanding performance. The first group of Chinese peacekeeping contingent arrived in Darfur on November 24, 2007. The second group arrived there on July 17, 2008, marking the completion of deploying the Chinese engineering unit to the war-torn region. |
