PHNOM PENH, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia on Wednesday dispatched its 12th batch of 184 peacekeepers to join the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the war-torn Central African Republic.
Speaking at a ceremony in Phnom Penh, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Tea Seiha said the blue helmets from Engineering Unit 864 will replace the 11th group, which recently completed a one-year deployment.
He said that participating in UN peacekeeping operations has elevated Cambodia's international prestige and reflects its commitment to global peace, security, stability, and sustainable development. ■
