\u3000In a Video Message<\/a><\/strong>, Former Special Representative of the Secretary-General Sukehiro Hasegawa Explains How Japan Engineering Group of the Japanese Defense Forces contributed to infrastructure rehabilitation in Timor-Leste.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u3000The Cabinet Office of the Government of Japan has published video messages sent by Ambassadors of countries where Japanese self-defense force personnel have been deployed including Cambodia, Mozambique, Timor-Leste, Haiti and South Sudan as well as former SRSG Akashi and Hasegawa and IOM Representative Mio Sato. The messages can be accessed via http:\/\/www.pko.go.jp\/pko_j\/info\/other\/pko25th_message.html<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u3000In a video message, former Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Timor-Leste recalled that he first served in a UN peacekeeping operation in Cambodia under the leadership of then SRSG Mr. Yasushi Akashi in 1993 when he organized a group of 500 UNV electoral supervisors. Japanese self-defense force and police personnel were deployed in UN peace operations for the first time. <\/p>\n

\u3000Mr. Hasegawa then remembered that the Japanese Engineering Group staff consisting of 400 to 600 JSDF personnel were deployed in Timor-Leste from 2002 to 2004 and carried out the rehabilitation of roads, bridges and other infrastructure facilities as well as school and other public buildings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center>
<\/p>\n

\u3000It was noteworthy that Japanese engineering groups not only carried out infrastructure rehabilitation works but also trained Timorese engineers and technicians in the use of vehicles and heavy construction machinery.<\/p>\n

\u3000Timorese government officials appreciated very much the fact that Japan had left behind the vehicles and construction machinery and trained Timorese personnel for their use and maintenance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center>
<\/p>\n

\u3000Mr. Hasegawa expressed his hope that Japan continue contributing to UN peace operations and provide its technical know-how needed for peace and nation building.
