南苏丹瓦乌3月28日电 -- 当地时间3月24日，经过一个多星期的紧张施工，我第12批赴南苏丹（瓦乌）维和工兵分队高标准完成通济机场的修缮任务，受到联南苏团和当地政府的一致好评。
WAU, South Sudan, March 28 --After more than a week of intense construction, the 12th Chinese peacekeeping engineer contingent to South Sudan (Wau) completed the repair task of Tonj Airport with high standards on March 24, local time, winning high acclaim from the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and local government.
通济机场位于南苏丹瓦拉普州通济市，因跑道损坏严重无法满足飞机起停要求，长期无法正常使用。我维和工兵分队受领任务后，累计出动工程装备车辆十余台次，对1300米长的飞机跑道进行平整修缮。
Due to serious runway damage, the Tonj Airport, located in Warrap State, no longer met the requirements of aircraft take-off and landing and has been out of use for a long time. Upon receiving the task, the Chinese contingent dispatched more than ten engineering vehicles to level and repair the 1,300-meter-long runway.
该机场主要用于保障当地交通和经济发展、联合国兵力投送和物资补给以及对当地的人道主义救援。任务完成后，通济机场能够实现多架次飞机起降和停放，将对整个通济地区的发展起到辐射和带动作用。
The airport means a lot for local transportation and economic development, the UN force projection and material supply, and the humanitarian relief to this area. Following the repair task completed, it is capable of multiple aircraft take-off, landing and parking, playing an active role in the development of the entire Tonj area.
“通济机场对我们当地的经济发展和民生保障工作起着至关重要的作用，感谢中国工兵！”瓦拉普州州长在施工现场称赞道。
"The Tonj Airport is important to local economic development and people's livelihood. Thanks the Chinese peacekeeping engineers!" said the Governor of Warrap State at the construction site.
