Pakistan, one of the top nations that supply troops, highly regards the crucial part that "blue
helmets" play in preserving security and stability in numerous conflict-ridden regions throughout
the world. We thank UN peacekeepers for their efforts and sacrifices, and we reaffirm our
commitment to working with the UN to further our shared goals of peace, stability, and
collaboration.
Pakistan is proud of its continuous and extensive contributions to UN peacekeeping for more
than 60 years. More than 200,000 members of our armed forces have rendered brave and
honorable service in 46 UN Missions across nearly all continents since 1960. Pakistani
peacekeepers have consistently distinguished themselves in every deployment they have taken
part in thanks to their professionalism and dedication. 169 of our most courageous peacekeepers
have given their lives in the line of duty in support of world peace and security.
Pakistan and its army have had a unique opportunity thanks to UN peacekeeping to demonstrate
their expertise, dedication to international security and peace, and sense of duty and sacrifice.
Pakistan has significantly contributed to the development of peacekeeping theories, concepts,
and manuals based on six decades of peacekeeping in a variety of circumstances. Its diplomatic
status at the UN and other related venues has also improved as a result of its involvement.
Pakistan has gained exposure to other countries' systems through its work with multinational
forces, which has also promoted camaraderie and understanding. Joint training and activities
have a synergistic effect that bodes well for regional harmony and collaboration.
