On December 11, the Chinese mainland's 12th peacekeeping infantry battalion departed from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport in Henan Province, bound for Juba in South Sudan.
This mission is part of a broader series of deployments: since early 2025, peacekeeping infantry battalions from the Chinese mainland have carried out more than 70 humanitarian assistance operations in Sudan, donated over 10,000 relief supplies, and provided medical aid to more than 1,000 local residents.
For globally minded young readers and travellers, this deployment highlights how international peacekeeping efforts can deliver tangible support on the ground — from emergency relief to healthcare services — in regions affected by conflict and instability.
As the 12th battalion arrives in Juba, watch for updates on their humanitarian projects and the positive impact they aim to achieve in South Sudan’s communities.
