BUDAPEST -- The Hungarian government has extended the mandate of the Hungarian Defence Forces' mission in Somalia until the end of next year, Defence Minister Csaba Hende said in a report submitted to parliament on Thursday, Hungarian News Agency MTI reported.
The government has approved sending up to ten Hungarian soldiers, or 20 at the time of changeover between units, to Uganda, Somalia and Kenya to participate in the training forces operating under the arrangements of European Union Training Mission Somalia (EUTM Somalia), Hende said.
The extension of the mission had to be approved by the government, in line with the constitution, from the original deadline of March 31, 2015, the report said.
On April 10, 2010, the European Union launched EUTM Somalia, with a mandate to support the Transitional Federal Government and assist in strengthening national institutions.
Last month, the European Union extended EUTM Somalia until Dec. 31, 2016 as it continues to provide basic, leadership and specialized military training and advice to the Somali military.
