Members of the Mongolian Armed Forces who participated in the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) have returned home after completing a 1-year deployment. Their return marks the successful conclusion of another rotation of Mongolian peacekeepers contributing to global stability and security.

During their year-long assignment, the peacekeepers were involved in a range of activities aimed at maintaining peace in the country. Their duties included protecting civilians, supporting humanitarian operations, and assisting local authorities in stabilizing communities affected by conflict. The mission required not only professional military skills but also cultural sensitivity, resilience, and coordination with international partners.

Upon arrival in Ulaanbaatar, the returning personnel were officially welcomed by representatives from the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Mongolia. The authorities praised their dedication, discipline, and professionalism, emphasizing that their service reflects Mongolia’s commitment to supporting the United Nations and promoting international peace.

Mongolia has a long history of participating in UN peacekeeping operations, with troops deployed to countries across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia over the past two decades. These contributions have strengthened the country’s reputation as a reliable and responsible partner in global peace efforts.

The Ministry of Defense noted that each rotation provides valuable experience for Mongolian service members, enhancing their operational skills and fostering international cooperation. At the same time, these missions help Mongolia fulfill its role in supporting global security and humanitarian initiatives.

As the returning peacekeepers reunite with their families and communities, their service stands as a testament to the country’s ongoing commitment to peace, stability, and international cooperation, reinforcing Mongolia’s presence and responsibility on the world stage.
