A total of 410 peacekeepers of the 20th Chinese peacekeeping contingent to Lebanon were awarded UN medals of peace by the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) on Friday.
Aroldo Lazaro Saenz, UNIFIL's head of Mission and Force Commander, told the Chinese peacekeepers that "the well-deserved medal is a token of appreciation in recognition of your hard work, as well as the significant contribution and commitment you gave" to this peace mission in southern Lebanon in the past months.
