De Nortbecourt expressed his gratitude for the work accomplished by the parting 15th Chinese contingent.

For his part, Col. Pu Yi, commander of the 15th Chinese batch stressed in his farewell speech the commitment of the "410 officers and other ranks of the Chinese contingent to the duties and missions of UNIFIL since they were deployed in May of last year."

As for the commander of the 16th Chinese batch Col.
