Cambodia sends soldiers to join multinational training exercise in Mongolia

PHNOM PENH, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Cambodian government has sent 51 soldiers from Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) to participate in the UN's peacekeeping training operation exercise in Mongolia entitled, "Khan Quest 2009", a Cambodian military source said on Saturday.

The process of exercise will be lasted for three weeks.

"The Cambodian delegation was led by Gen. Meas Sophea, deputy commander-in-chief of RCAF and infantry commander," he said, adding "we have support from UN for joining this exercise," he noted.

It is a good cooperation between our country and other countries to share experiences and learned experience from each other about the strategies in peacekeeping in a country, he said.

"These forces will be used for reconciliation in a war-torn country, or a country which used to have internal conflict and a post-war country when the war ended," he added.

"The main role of the peacekeeping forces is to join to seek peace, stability and safety for people in the war-torn country," he stressed, adding "this exercise is not the military exercises but for peacekeeping for the UN's peacekeeping forces. It is a second time for Cambodia to participate multinational exercise in Mongolia and we become an active member," he said.

Cambodia will send 43 soldiers to join the military exercise to be held next month in Mongolia for the peacekeeping mission of the United Nations, local media said on Tuesday.

Cambodia now has about 1,000 soldiers who has been trained for joining UN peacekeeping mission, but the kingdom is always cautious to choose the places where the soldiers will be sent to, he said.

"To some places we should send our soldiers, but some others we can't," he added.
