Chinese peacekeepers have arrested six armed gunmen during their one-month tour of duty in Sun City, Haiti. Later, they moved to the capital city of Port-au-Prince to carry out 24 hour patrols.

Six gunmen and a large number of weapons and narcotics were captured. The peacekeepers are drawn from the border police in South China's Guangdong province. Their ranks include seven women.

By the end of March, China had sent more than 5,000 peacekeepers to join UN operations. Chinese peacekeepers are working in several locations in the Mideast, Africa, Europe and Asia.
