Mr.Pompeo:More than that.I have been here for two years only.173 persons have died within this mission since its establishment.

Cpt.Li:China has seen a death toll of 18 since its first participation of UN peacekeeping operations in 1990.

Mr.Pompeo:I am sorry to hear that.But what is the main reason for the death?

Cpt.Li:Malaria,traffic accidents,malicious actions.The first Chinese officer died in peacekeeping is Maj.Du Zhaoyu in UNIFIL.He was killed by accidental gunfire at an OP.
