When meeting with the five policemen, Public Security Minister Jia Chunwang urged them to adopt a strong sense of duty and esponsibility. He hoped that their work would help portray a good image of Chinese police. China sent 55 peace-keeping policemen to East Timor within the United Nations framework last year.
