Vice Chief of Army, Lt Gen Philip Campose today said that nature of conflicts was changing at a rapid pace and everyone had to evolve, adjust and modify to suit the requirements of such complexities of time and space.
Speaking on the occasion of UN Peacekeeping Day, Campose said entire peacekeepers' fraternity had a singularity of purpose that was aimed at ensuring international peace and security.
Centre for United Nations Peacekeeping (CUNPK) celebrated the UN Peacekeeping Day at the Manekshaw Centre in Delhi Cantonment.
The event is part of the worldwide celebrations undertaken on the day to commemorate all men and women who have contributed towards establishing peace and security in war-torn countries and societies across the world.
The officials acknowledged the contribution of the Indian Armed Forces in about 50 peacekeeping missions across the world and remembered all those valiant soldiers who laid down their life in the line of duty at a place away from their homeland, an official statement said.
The event was marked by a seminar on issues pertaining to peacekeeping and its 'Challenges in Today's Dynamically Changing World'.
India began its tryst with UN Peacekeeping by providing the Custodian Force in Korea, 1950. Indian Army is among the top three contributors to UN Missions.
