Delegates of countries contributing troops to the UN peacekeeping missions around the world will meet in Delhi for an important conclave to be hosted by India from October 14 to 16, officials said on Sunday (October 12, 2025).
The United Nations Chiefs Conclave (UNTCC) will be attended by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Under Secretary General for Peacekeeping Operations (USG, DPO) Jean Pierre Lacroix, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
The UNTCC serves as a vital forum for addressing operational challenges, evolving threats, interoperability, inclusivity in decision-making, and the role of technology and training in strengthening UN peacekeeping.
“As one of the largest contributors to UN missions, India convenes this high-level forum to deliberate on operational challenges, evolving threats, sharing best practices and building shared understanding on future peacekeeping,” the report said.
Delegations from countries contributing troops to UN peacekeeping missions around the world are expected to arrive here on October 13, the report said.
