(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-02-26 14:33 BEIJING -- A 21-member Chinese peacekeeping squad left Beijing Wednesday to join the United Nations mission in East Timor.
Seven out of the 21 police personnel had previously participated in United Nations peacekeeping missions.
Portuguese-speaking East Timor, an island south of Indonesia and northeast of Australia, became the first new sovereign state of the 21st century in 2002. China sent its first batch of peacekeepers to East Timor in January 2000 to help restore security after factional violence.
