font size    

China's second batch of peace-keeping troop has arrived in Liberia to continue its peacekeeping mission in the troubled West African country during their eight-month tour of duty.

Wang Liwen, the head of the troop says they have successfully completed the transfering process and and introduced that UN officials in the region confirmed the achievements of the first group.

"UN Force Commander in Liberia Lieutenant-General Daniel Ishmael Opande gives a high appraisal to the achievements made by Chinese peace-keeping troop when he visited our military camp Tuesday. He said Liberians will never forget China's assistance."

Wang said though many soldiers faced some difficulty, they will continue the good work.

"Many of the soldiers come from now freezingly cold north China. They find it hard to adapt to tropical climate in Liberia. Now the weather is rather dry with the high temperature reaching 35 degrees."

At the request of the UN, China sent the first peacekeeping contingent to Liberia last year.
