The UN Undersecretary General for Field Services appreciated Pakistan’s historical and ongoing contribution to UN peacekeeping, particularly the sacrifice of 140 soldiers since 1960. He commended Pakistan’s advanced logistics and training facilities for UN peacekeeping.

The Minister for Defence will speak twice on the final day of the Conference, respectively on Pakistan’s “Smart Pledges” to UN Peacekeeping operations and on “Early Warning and Deployment”, one of the principal themes of the Ministerial meeting.
