A Testament to India’s Commitment

The Conclave underscores India’s role as a bridge between cultures and continents uniting nations in the pursuit of peace. It is both a reaffirmation of India’s moral leadership in peacekeeping and a step toward shaping a future where peacekeeping becomes more inclusive, responsive and sustainable.

For the Indian Army, peacekeeping is a civilisational responsibility that reflects the nation’s belief that security and humanity must advance together. As global challenges grow more complex, the UNTCC Chiefs’ Conclave 2025 will stand as a beacon of collective resolve and a tribute to all soldiers of peace who continue to serve under the blue flag with courage, compassion and conviction.
