BEIJING, Oct. 9 -- Two detachments dispatched by the 27th Chinese peacekeeping engineering company to the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) have recently arrived at Uvira and Baraka, the DRC, for following assignments.
Impacted by local security situation and climate, MONUSCO infrastructures in the two locations were severely damaged. Peacekeepers will conduct camp construction, road work, bridge repair, water culvert pipe emplacement and other tasks in sequence in the next few months.
