"I recommend increasing the number of military personnel by 2,750 people and police officers by 940 people, bringing the authorized maximum values for MINUSCA to 14,400 and 3,020 people, respectively," RIA Novosti quoted the statement of the secretary general.
It is noted that this strengthening should help the UN Multidimensional Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) to fulfill its priority tasks.
In addition, according to the Secretary General, this will strengthen the mission's potential in the field of security.
In December 2020, at the request of the CAR leadership, Russia sent 300 military instructors to the country to train the army.
