The UN in Cambodia has expressed its appreciation for the continued support of the Kingdom to the UN’s peacekeeping operations. Cambodia is in August to send an additional 98 troops from an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) unit as UN “blue helmet” peacekeepers to the Central African Republic (CAR) to deal with landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO) and improvised explosive devices.
Cambodia is to send nearly 100 blue helmet peacekeepers from an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) unit on a UN peacekeeping mission to the Central African Republic (CAR) in the third quarter of this year.
The Kingdom’s 219 “blue helmets” on February 20 departed for a humanitarian mission in the Central African Republic (CAR). The troops dispatched on this UN peacekeeping mission include the multi-skills engineer division 432.
A contingent of 184 multi-skilled Cambodian peacekeepers landed at Phnom Penh International Airport on the night of February 3 following a one-year mission under a UN mandate.
