139 Cambodian demining soldiers left Cambodia on Saturday to complete its demining mission in Sudan. This group of soldiers are sent to replace a previous contingent of 138 soldiers who just completed their one-year mission in East Sudan. Sem Sovandy, the deputy director of the Cambodian Main Action Authority, told The Cambodia Daily that ‘we are very proud that our soldiers were not injured in this mission.’ The demining mission is Cambodia’s first participation in a UN peacekeeping mission. Sem Sovandy added that ‘the UN Secretary-general gave us honor, we are very proud to participate in the peacekeeping mission.’ The contingent of 138 returning soldiers will arrive in Cambodia today.
