President Droupadi Murmu told army leaders in New Delhi that countries sending troops for UN peace‑keeping must work together to give troop‑contributing nations a stronger say.
During the Army Chiefs’ Conclave for United Nations Troop‑Contributing Countries, the president urged the chiefs and vice‑chiefs to engage more actively with local communities. “When local people help shape the mission, peace becomes nurtured, not just imposed,” she said.
India, the world’s biggest democracy, has long championed multilateralism and the principles of the United Nations Charter. “We are proud to have contributed UN peace‑keepers since the program began,” Murmu noted. She highlighted that Indian peace‑keepers have served bravely in the world’s toughest missions and that India has made real progress in gender inclusion. “Female peace‑keepers build trust and empower local communities,” she said.
The president expressed confidence that the conclave and similar gatherings will spark fresh ideas, deepen cooperation, and forge lasting friendships. “Together, as guardians of peace, we can create a world where every child sleeps safely, every community thrives, and conflicts become history,” she added.
She praised the chiefs and vice‑chiefs for embodying the best values of their countries and for bringing rich experience and resolve to the pursuit of sustainable peace. UN peace‑keepers serve in 71 missions worldwide, directing aid especially to women, children and the elderly. Their courage and compassion shine even in the most remote corners of the globe.
