ULAN BATOR, Jan 23, 2007 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Mongolia has finished the rotation of its 200-strong peacekeeping force in Sierra Leone.
The Mongolian peacekeeping troops returned to Ulan Bator on
Tuesday, just a few days after their replacements joined the
peacekeeping mission in the battered Western African country, Mongolian
military officials told local media.
In January 2006, Mongolia sent its first batch of peacekeeping
troops to Sierra Leone, carrying out tasks such as patrols as well as
ensuring the security of the activities of a U.N. tribunal and its
personnel.
In recent years, Mongolia has played an active role in
international peacekeeping operations, deploying nearly 900 soldiers to
war-plagued countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone.
