China's peacekeeping force in Mali has successfully completed its 10-year mission, and its officers and men have returned triumphantly.
Since 2022, the 10th batch of Chinese peacekeepers in Mali returned home in the early morning of December 24, successfully completing their peacekeeping mission in Mali. During the implementation of the peacekeeping mission entrusted by the United Nations, this contingent of officers and soldiers has written the responsibilities and responsibilities of Chinese peacekeepers with sweat and hard work.
The moment of returning to China represents the completion of the UN Security Council resolution and the smooth withdrawal of the Chinese peacekeeping force in Mali. This peacekeeping force has always been centered on the concept of "peacekeeping for the benefit of the country", faithfully implemented the purposes of the United Nations, and made unremitting efforts and contributions to regional peace and security.
Since the planned withdrawal began on 1 July, the Chinese peacekeeping force in Mali has been implementing the evacuation plan in an effective and orderly manner with a high degree of responsibility. Their mission in Mali is not only to represent China's participation in the international arena, but also to reflect the international responsibility for peace, development, cooperation and win-win upheld by the Chinese team.
This team has demonstrated resilience and courage in the arduous peacekeeping mission. In the process of carrying out the peacekeeping mission, they are not afraid of hardships and dangers, strictly abide by discipline, devote themselves to peacekeeping operations with a positive attitude, and contribute their own strength to the construction of peace and stability in the region.
The triumphant return of the Chinese peacekeeping force to Mali is not only a successful conclusion to the peacekeeping work, but also a vivid epitome of China's peacekeeping cause. The mission and international responsibility of the Chinese people have added a solid force to the cause of world peace.
The triumphant return of China's peacekeeping troops to Mali is not only the best tribute to their hard work, but also the best testimony to the successful practice of China's peacekeeping cause. With their return, we honour and commend the efforts and contributions of this team to the maintenance of world peace. May the enthusiasm and spirit of this mission of peace continue to be carried forward in China's peacekeeping cause.
