139 Kazakhstani peacekeepers are performing tasks to maintain the ceasefire between the opposing sides in accordance with the mandate of the UN mission in the Golan Heights, Ritmeurasia.ru reports.
On the occasion of assuming duty at the peacekeeping base of Faouar, the flag of the Republic of Kazakhstan was raised. The ceremony was attended by the mission commander, Lieutenant General Kural Nirmal (Nepal), and the leaders of the peacekeeping contingents operating within its framework.
"Representing Kazakhstan beyond the borders of the state is a great honor and responsibility," noted the commander of the national peacekeeping contingent from Kazakhstan, Lieutenant Colonel Zhiger Aipov. "May the sky-blue flag of our country be a symbol of peace, stability, and hope for a better future."
The Kazakhstani peacekeeping contingent, representing a reserve company of the mission commander, performs tasks such as patrolling in the responsibility zone, guarding, strengthening checkpoints, and demining explosive objects.
