New York – The Director of the United Nations Office of Peacekeeping Strategic Partnerships (OPSP), Major General Jai Menon, has described Liberian peacekeepers serving with the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) as trained, disciplined, and ideally fit for service. The Major General made the assertions during a recent meeting with the Chargé d’affaires of the Permanent Mission of Liberia to the United Nations, Mr. Israel Choko Davies. Major General Menon requested Mr. Davies to convey his special gratitude to the Government of Liberia, and in particular, the Liberian Troops serving in MINUSMA for their splendid act of duty. Mr. Davies said he was further proud that Liberia, once a nation that played host to United Nations Peacekeeping Missions, is now a proud benefactor of peacekeeping and troop-contributing country. Mr. Davies concluded by thanking Major General Menon for his great observation and compliments of the Liberian Troops and assured the General that Liberia will do all in its power to increase its presence in MINUSMA.
