 Indian Army chief to attend inaugural UN meet on peacekeeping

United Nations: Indian Army chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag will attend an inaugural UN conference on peacekeeping operations here later this week that will bring together the defence chiefs of UN member states.[caption id=“attachment_2172659” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Indian Army chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag.

India, the largest contributor of troops to UN peacekeeping operations, will be represented by Gen Suhag. While Pakistan’s Army Chief General Raheel Sharif was originally scheduled to participate in the conference, sources here told PTI that he would not be attending the meet and will be represented by one of his corps commanders. India has contributed more than 180,000 peacekeepers in 44 UN peacekeeping missions so far and has lost 158 of its soldiers in these missions, the highest by any country, serving in the line of duty. The day-long conference will focus on UN peacekeeping operations in the current political, strategic and operational environment as well as on the future of UN peacekeeping. Discussions would also focus on challenges and opportunities for mission support in peacekeeping operations and performance challenges in the current security environment. The defense chiefs will hold discussions with Under Secretary General for Peacekeeping Operations Herve Ladsous and Under Secretary General for Field Support Atul Khare. Khare, a senior Indian diplomat, was in January appointed by the UN Chief as head of the UN Department of Field Support (DFS), an appointment that made him one of the highest ranking Indian officials in the UN system. Several senior UN peacekeeping officials, including Military Adviser for Peacekeeping Operations Lt Gen Maqsood Ahmed of Pakistan, will also attend the conference. PTI
