This morning, a delegation from the United Nations (UN), led by Michael Mulinge KITIVI, Director of the Uniformed Capability Support Division, visited the Rwanda Air Force Headquarters and was received by Brig Gen Geoffrey GASANA, Deputy Air Force Chief of Staff.
The visit aims at discussing ways of enhancing aviation safety and operational readiness in peacekeeping operations.
Michael Mulinge stated that the Rwanda Air Force leadership and the UN delegation will work together to develop a plan to improve aviation safety in peacekeeping operations, particularly in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).
He stressed that the UN greatly appreciates the role of Rwanda’s Aviation Unit deployed in South Sudan since 2012.
The unit has made significant contributions to the peacekeeping effort and will be continuously supported by the UN to continue this critical role. (End)
