Place of creation: UNISFA mission in the Abyei/South Sudan region, Sudan

This work captures a heartwarming and humane moment in Abyei parish, South Sudan, where Vietnamese police officers and personnel from the 3rd Engineering Brigade are carrying out a peacekeeping mission. In the photo, a Vietnamese police officer from the UNISFA peacekeeping team, with a radiant smile and affectionate gaze, is diligently guiding local children in folding and playing with paper airplanes. Around him, children with curious and eager eyes intently watch his every move. This simple yet meaningful act not only brings joy to the children but also symbolizes the friendship, care, and compassion that the Vietnamese "blue beret" soldiers show to the people here. The photograph not only demonstrates the professionalism and responsibility of the Vietnamese peacekeeping force but also spreads a message of kindness, sharing, and hope for a bright, peaceful future for children around the world. That is the beauty of Vietnam in a noble mission, leaving a beautiful impression on international friends.
