The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) paid a rich tribute to the ultimate sacrifices and invaluable contributions of Pakistani peacekeepers to global peace on the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers.
ISPR noted that modern conflict zones have become increasingly complex, with peacekeepers now facing hybrid threats such as cyber risks, misinformation campaigns, political instability and climate-related humanitarian crises.
“Investing in peace in the contemporary era requires technological and structural evolution,” the statement said, stressing the need for advanced intelligence systems, stronger civilian protection mechanisms and climate-resilient operational strategies.
The ISPR said Pakistan’s association with UN peacekeeping spans over six decades and reflects the country’s enduring commitment to international peace and cooperation.
The military’s media wing stated that more than 237,000 Pakistani peacekeepers have participated in UN missions, while 183 personnel embraced martyrdom during service.
Pakistani “Blue Helmets” are currently deployed in several high-risk theaters, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), South Sudan (UNMISS), and the Central African Republic (MINUSCA).Both the military and the government reaffirmed Pakistan’s continued commitment to United Nations’ principles, international cooperation, and humanitarian service in troubled regions worldwide.
