The first female Force Commander in UN history is stepping down after what she called a “fantastic two years”.

Major-General Kristin Lund headed the UN force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), the first woman ever to command a UN peacekeeping operation.

Her last day in charge was 29 July.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon paid tribute to her service saying that her “leadership greatly contributed to the UN efforts in Cyprus.”

Cristina Silveiro asked Ms Lund to sum up her time in charge.
