JUBA, Sept. 1 -- The 12th Chinese Peacekeeping Infantry Battalion to South Sudan (Juba) recently conducted a security inspection and a joint long-distance patrol mission in Rokon and other areas together with UN military observers, UN police and child protection advisers. The mission was carried out under authorization from the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and orders from Sector South under UNMISS. The peacekeepers also carried out humanitarian assistance activities.

朱巴9月1日电 -- 近日，根据联南苏团授权和南战区命令，中国第十二批赴南苏丹（朱巴）维和步兵营会同联合国军事观察员、联合国警察和儿童保护相关部门人员前往热古等地区开展安全调查和联合长巡任务，并开展人道主义援助活动。

South Sudan is currently in its rainy season, with sweltering weather, rough and difficult roads, and daytime temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. The long-distance patrol lasted three days and two nights and covered a round trip of nearly 400 kilometers, passing through multiple checkpoints of the South Sudan People's Defense Forces. The fully armed peacekeepers remained on high alert throughout the mission.

当前南苏丹正值雨季，天气闷热，道路崎岖难行，昼间温度达40摄氏度以上。此次长巡任务，历时3天2夜，往返行程近400公里，沿途经过多个国防军检查站，官兵们全副武装，时刻保持高度警惕。

Upon arriving in Terekeka, the peacekeepers established a temporary operating base (TOB), deployed security equipment around its perimeter, and set up a security and defense system. Accompanying medical personnel thoroughly disinfected the area.

任务分队到达特热克卡地区后，迅速建立临时行动基地，在外围布设警戒器材，建立警戒防卫体系，随行医疗人员对环境进行全面消杀。

The Chinese peacekeepers then conducted security patrols in surrounding areas from the TOB, while simultaneously dispatching teams to Rokon, Muni and other areas to carry out escort missions.

随后，维和分队依托建立的临时行动基地，对周边进行警戒巡逻，同步派出分队赴热古、穆尼等地区展开护卫任务。

The peacekeepers also established friendly relations with the local government and police in Terekeka and visited local villages to provide free medical services, drinking water and other humanitarian assistance.

维和官兵还与特热克卡地方政府、警察局建立了友好关系，赴当地村落开展义诊、送水等人道主义援助活动。

During the joint long-distance patrol to Rokon, the Chinese peacekeepers successfully completed all assigned tasks, earning praise from UNMISS and local residents.

此次赴热古联合长巡，中国维和官兵出色完成了各项任务，受到了联南苏团以及当地民众的好评。
