Zambia: UK Government Supports Training of Zambia Peacekeeping Defence Forces

press release

London — British High Commissioner Fergus Cochrane-Dyet spoke at the gradutaion ceremony of Zambian peacekeeping defence personnel in Lusaka today. He said:

It is a great honour to be here today. I lived and worked for two years with the British, US and Afghan military in the war-zone of Helmand, southern Afghanistan, during which time our coalition forces were losing lives on an almost daily basis. And my eldest son is a British army officer who could be deployed on operations at any time. Therefore I know from personal experience about the good that our armed forces can achieve in trying to stabilise places in the world that are shattered by conflict. And I know about the sacrifices that brave military personnel are often called upon to make.
