ABYEI, Sept. 2 -- The 3rd Chinese peacekeeping quick reaction force to Abyei recently completed an armed escort mission for the French Ambassador to South Sudan during his visit to the Abyei.

阿卜耶伊9月2日电 -- 近日，中国赴阿卜耶伊维和快反分队高标准完成法国驻南苏丹大使访问阿卜耶伊地区的专属武装护卫任务。

Abyei is a disputed region between Sudan and South Sudan. With numerous armed factions, recurring sporadic conflicts and harsh natural conditions, it is one of the most dangerous UN peacekeeping mission areas.

阿卜耶伊是苏丹与南苏丹之间的争议地区，武装派系林立、零星冲突不断、自然环境恶劣，是最危险的维和任务区之一。

The visit by the French Ambassador to South Sudan and his delegation was an important diplomatic engagement. Acting on the orders of the Force Commander in the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA), the Chinese peacekeeping quick reaction force was tasked with providing armed escort for the visit.

此次法国驻南苏丹大使一行到访，属于重要外事交流活动。根据联阿安全部队司令命令，中国维和快反分队担负此次活动的专属武装护卫。

During the mission, the Chinese peacekeepers remained on high alert, ensuring the safety of the ambassador and his delegation throughout their scheduled itinerary.

任务期间，官兵始终保持高度警惕，保障法国驻南苏丹大使一行顺利完成既定行程，全程安全。

Following the mission, foreign officials and senior UNISFA officials spoke highly of the Chinese peacekeeping quick reaction force.

任务结束后，外方官员及联阿安全部队高层，对中国维和快反分队给予高度评价。
