India to host UN troop contributing countries Chiefs’ Conclave

New Delhi, Oct 12: The Indian Army will host the United Nations Troop Contributing Countries (UNTCC) Chiefs’ Conclave in New Delhi from October 14 to 16, 2025, bringing together senior military leaders from 32 nations actively engaged in UN peacekeeping operations.

Delegations from participating countries are expected to arrive in New Delhi on October 13.

The conclave will serve as a key platform to discuss operational challenges, evolving threats, interoperability, inclusivity in decision-making, and the role of technology and training in enhancing the effectiveness of UN peacekeeping missions.

As one of the largest and most experienced contributors to UN peacekeeping, India is convening this high-level gathering to share best practices, strengthen collaboration, and build consensus on future strategies for global peace operations.

The event also embodies India’s philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – the belief that “the world is one family.”

The programme will include addresses by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, and Jean-Pierre Lacroix, UN Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations.
