The Chinese military has sent a team to visit Chinese soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Mali's Gao region.

The team will focus on the treatment of those injured in Tuesday's terrorist attack which targeted UN peacekeepers in Gao, North Mali, and coordinate with the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission and the Malian government to ensure the safety of peacekeepers there.

The Chinese military says it will continue supporting UN peacekeeping missions, and fight against all kinds of terrorism and safeguard world peace.
