His body was delivered via a Turkish Airline flight from Istanbul last Saturday. He will be buried in the place where he was born on his family’s request.

-Every peacekeeper has free medical checks. G.Munkh-Erdene did not have any health problems when he was sent to South Sudan.
-Where was he serving before he was sent to South Sudan?
-He had served in the Mongolian Armed Forces for 12 years. He was working in 123rd military unit in Khovd before he was sent on the peacekeeping mission to South Sudan.
