Phnom Penh (FN), Nov. 5 - Cambodian Minister of National Defense Tea Banh, on Monday, said that the United Nations and Cambodia always work together on peacekeeping operations, addressing at the homecoming ceremony of 289 repatriated peacekeeping force after completing the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission in Central African Republic and South Sudan, co-chaired with Hubert Staberhofer, a representative of UN in Cambodia.

United Nations and Cambodia planned together to send Cambodian blue berets to peacekeeping operations in Africa and the Middle East.

"It is clear that under the leadership of Prime Minister Hun Sen, Cambodia is recognized regionally and internationally, contradicting to what the opposition group had manipulated,” said Tea Banh.

Minister of National Defense said that while Cambodia enjoys absolute stability in the country, Cambodia also contributes to global peace by sending her forces to participate in peacekeeping operations in war-torn countries, and that Cambodia hopes all the victimized countries will soon get peace as Cambodia could.

Hubert Staberhofer also emphasized that the United Nations Peacekeeping Operation is an investment in global security, peace, and prosperity. The blue beret forces symbolized the commitment "to save the younger generation from war."
