The last group of 94 soldiers of the 25th Chinese peacekeeping engineering contingent have arrived at the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In its mission area, the 25th Chinese peacekeeping engineering contingent will mainly perform the engineering survey, road repair and construction, engineering construction, unexploded ordnance disposal, and humanitarian rescues as well as other tasks.

China sent its first UN-affiliated peacekeepers to the DR Congo in 2003.

China is the second largest contributor to both peacekeeping assessment and UN membership fees, and the largest troop-contributing country (TCC) among the permanent members of the UN Security Council.
