A total of 160 Chinese police have passed a UN selection and assessment process with good grades, and now expect to become part of the UN rapid deployment force, said the Ministry of Public Security on Thursday.

They will be the first to join the force if they pass another assessment on equipment in October.

From Sept. 19 to Sept. 21 at the China Peacekeeping Police Training Center, UN officials tested the 160 on their language abilities, driving skills and use of weapons. They carried out interviews and assessed test scores on strategic subjects.

The police are an elite selected from border forces with outstanding expertise. More than 50 of them have previous peacekeeping experience in Haiti, South Sudan or Liberia.

Before the UN test, the 160 officers received three months of intensive training, the first such course undertaken by the ministry.
