BEIJING, Mar. 21 -- According to the plan of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), the Nepalese peacekeeping contingent organized a Peacekeeper Challenge and invited all troop-contributing countries to participate in. A total of 31 teams from 13 countries and units competed in the challenge.
北京3月21日电 近日，根据联合国驻南苏丹特派团计划安排，由尼泊尔维和分队为主办方，组织维和人员挑战赛，邀请各出兵国参加。此次挑战赛活动共有13个国家和单位的31支队伍同台竞技。
The Peacekeeper Challenge mainly consists of military sports events with Nepali characteristics, such as "rope bridge crossing" and "mountain moving". Compared with their counterparts from other troop-contributing countries, the Chinese peacekeepers are less familiar with most of the events, which is new to them.
比赛以“绳桥”、“搬山”、“双人成行”等具有尼泊尔特色的军事体育项目为主，大部分项目中国维和官兵都是首次接触，与其他友邻出兵国相比较更为陌生。
But, team members of the Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalion demonstrated good tactical qualities and teamwork skills in the face of unfamiliar subjects and complex rules. In the end, they won the first and second places in the group competition with their outstanding teamwork skills and excellent military qualities.
面对陌生科目与复杂规则，中国队员展现了良好的战术素养和团队协作能力。最终，维和步兵营参赛队员凭借出色的团队协作能力和过硬的军事素质取得团体冠亚军的优异成绩。
It is reported that since its deployment to the mission area in December last year, the Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalion has actively participated in various military competitions organized by UNMISS. This has laid a solid foundation for better handling emergencies, reducing mission risks, and carrying out tasks such as patrols, guard, and civilian protection in a more efficient way.
据悉，自去年12月份部署至任务区以来，中国维和步兵营积极参与联南苏团组织的各类军事竞赛活动，为下一步熟练应对突发情况、降低任务风险，更高效地执行巡逻、警戒、保护平民等各项任务打下坚实基础。
