BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese peacekeeping helicopter contingent is heading home after fulfilling its mission in Sudan's Darfur, a Chinese military spokesperson said on Thursday.
The contingent served under the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur of Sudan, said Wu Qian, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, at a press conference.
Since August 2017, Chinese helicopter contingents have fulfilled multiple high-risk tasks including humanitarian rescue, personnel movement and material transportation in more than 20 places including Sudan's capital Khartoum, according to Wu.
