The Air Chief directed the prospective peacekeepers to work with honesty, sincerely and professionally as like the previous BAF contingent during their mission as UN peacekeepers in Ivory Coast.
Later, the Air Chief joined at a special Munajat seeking success of the new peacekeepers.
Presently 104 personnel with three Bell-212 helicopters of BAF have been deployed to the UN peacekeeping mission in Ivory Coast.
