Pak Aviation-1 Contingent comprising three Puma helicopters arrived at
KAVUMU Air Terminal, Bukavu, Congo. The helicopters had initially
arrived in Entebbe, Uganda and after necessary fitments and test flights
they flew to KAVUMU in South Kivu Brigade (SKB) Area of responsibility.
Remaining strength of the contingent is expected to arrive within this
month.
A graceful welcome ceremony was organized at the air terminal to
receive the contingent. This is the first Pakistani Aviation Contingent
to participate in peacekeeping mission in Democratic Republic Congo
(DRC) which reflects the commitment and dedication of Pakistan towards
UN and the Congolese Government in bringing peace to this country.
Puma helicopters are a valuable addition in MONUSCO military air assets
and will help providing better assistance to the UN staff in carrying
out their tasks.ISPR News
