On May 23, in conjunction with 10 years of Mongolian peacekeeping activity, the Armed Forces HQs declared and summarized the ‘Monthly Campaign for Ten Creative Works’. It has been over ten years since 2002 when UN military observers were dispatched to the Democratic Republic of Congo and almost 6000 Mongolian military servicemen were deployed to 12 countries on 3 continents, successfully fulfilling their duties, accumulating experience, building up a demonstrable record of success, improving foreign language levels and facilitating the creation of the “Armed forces development fund”. More than 500 Mongolian soldiers are deployed today in foreign countries helping to create conditions for lasting peace and security. At the ceremony, some military servicemen were awarded with the medals ‘For Peace in Africa’ and ‘For Peace in Afghanistan.
