BEIJING - A peacekeeping team returned to China from South Sudan on Thursday after an eight-month UN mission.

The team was made up of military engineers and medical staff from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Jinan Military Area Command and PLA Logistics Department.

The team successfully completed a number of tasks, including building new roads and buildings, providing medical care and escorting.

Another peacekeeping team from the PLA Jinan Military Area Command arrived in South Sudan on Wednesday to take over where the previous team left off.
