Chief of Army Staff General SM Shafiuddin Ahmed returned home from South Sudan on Thursday after visiting the peacekeeping mission there.
On the last day of his visit to South Sudan, he went to the temporary operating base of Bangladesh Engineers contingent at Jambo area. He also visited the contingent camp and their ongoing road repair project.
During his visit, he inspected all the Bangladesh Contingents at the UN peacekeeping mission deployed in South Sudan, said a ISPR press release.
