The group of Vietnamese police peackeepers working at the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) recently organized an event to celebrate the founding day of the Public Security Forces (August 19, 1945) and the National Day (September 2, 1945), in South Sudan.
Present at the ceremony were Police Commander at UNMISS Christine Fossen, high-ranking officials at UNMISS, leaders of police peacekeeping missions of other countries at UNMISS, commanders of the Indian gas unit, Indian information unit, Cambodian military police unit, and friends.
The ceremony took place in a warm and solemn atmosphere with flag-raising ceremonies.
