The Congolese officials attending the inauguration program also inspected the football ground at Lita village. The football ground was also repaired by the company. 


NA has expressed belief that the public welfare activities targeted to the local communities carried out by the army personnel mobilized in a conflict-hit country would help create an environment of confidence between the local community and the peacekeeping force, further deepening the relations.
