China's second contingent of peace-keepers returns from Haiti
font size    

China's second riot squad contingent returned to the country Wednesday after completing its peace-keeping mission in Haiti.

The 91-member team arrived in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province in the morning and each was awarded an "honor medal of Chinese peace-keeping police" in the afternoon by the Ministry of Public Security.

The contingent of 125 police officers was sent to Haiti to carry out a peace-keeping mission in April this year.

They were awarded a UN peace medal in August in Haiti for their excellent performance.

Currently, four other members from the contingent are still in Haiti for a mission handover. The other 30 members returned to China earlier.

On Monday, China sent its third contingent of peace-keepers to help maintain order in the Caribbean country of Haiti, the Ministry of Public Security said.

The team will be stationed in Port-au-Prince and will take charge of maintaining security during Haiti's upcoming general election.

The 125-member team underwent three months of intensive training in China before its departure. The members were trained in language and peace-keeping skills and briefed on the local political situation in Haiti, the ministry said.
