"Since their full deployment, the Chinese Contingent has carried out every task with professionalism, precision and determination. You brought hope as much as assistance. In a few words, you really made a difference. Thank you all for this!" Major General Diodato Abagnara, Force Commander of UNIFIL, commended the 23rd Chinese peacekeeping force to UNIFIL, and welcomed the incoming 24th Chinese peacekeeping force to perform its duties.

“自部署以来，中国维和部队以专业的素养、精准的操作与坚定的决心，出色完成每一项任务。你们带来的不仅是援助，更是希望。为此，向你们致谢！”联黎部队司令迪奥达托・阿巴尼亚拉对第23批赴黎维和部队官兵表示称赞，并欢迎第24批赴黎维和部队官兵履职。

During the past year, facing the complex security situations, the 23rd Chinese peacekeeping force to UNIFIL reinitiated demining operations along the Blue Line separating Israel and Lebanon, which had been suspended for two years, cleared nearly 7,000 square meters of minefields and neutralized over 300 mines and other unexploded munitions.

In addition, the Chinese peacekeepers efficiently completed 64 annual tasks including shelter construction, removed 51 roadblocks, cleared more than 3,200 meters of roads, and repaired 44 defensive facilities. They also conducted more than 40 humanitarian assistance activities such as medical outreach, serving more than 4,000 local patients. All the members of the 23rd peacekeeping force to UNIFIL have been awarded the UN Peace Medal of Honor, representing the extensive recognition from UNIFIL and the local people.

过去一年，我第23批赴黎维和部队直面复杂安全形势，时隔两年重启“蓝线”扫雷作业，扫除雷区近7000平方米，销毁地雷及未爆弹300余枚；高效完成掩体修建等年度任务64项，清理路障51处，疏通道路3200余米，修缮防卫设施44处；开展医疗巡诊等人道主义援助活动40余次，诊疗民众4000余人次。全体官兵获颁联合国和平荣誉勋章，赢得联黎部队、当地民众广泛赞誉。

Currently, the 24th Chinese peacekeeping force to UNIFIL has fully taken over the duties, and the 23rd Chinese peacekeeping force will return to China soon.

目前，第24批赴黎维和部队官兵已全面履职，结束任务的第23批赴黎维和部队官兵即将回国。
