ISLAMABAD, MAY 17, SPA -- A batch of 250 Pakistani troops has left for Liberia to perform peacekeeping duties under the aegis of the UN peacekeeping mission, says an official statement. Brigadier Shahid Majeed saw off the batch at Allama Iqbal Airport Lahore before their departure on a UN chartered aircraft. These troops will replace the already deputed Pakistan Army contingent in the war-ravaged Liberia as part of a Relieve and Rotation Schedule. Brig Majeed said the Pakistan Army had a good track record of rendering dedicated services for the restoration of peace in many countries including Somalia, Eastern Slovenia, Bosnia, Haiti, East Timor, Congo and Sierra Leone.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/450610
