Indonesia Hosts Regional UN Peacekeeping Meeting
Indonesia will host the Asia-Pacific Regional Meeting on Peacekeeping in Jakarta on July 27-28, where it will lobby regional governments to boost their contributions to the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping force. Andy Rachmianto, the Director of International Security and Disarmament at the Foreign Affairs Ministry, said there was a need for UN countries to deploy more peacekeeping forces to conflict areas.
"That's why we are holding this meeting. Peacekeeping missions from the UN are facing complex, multidimensional challenges," Andy announced at the Foreign Affairs Ministry office in Jakarta last Thursday. Based on UN data, there are currently 16,000 peacekeeping personnel deployed in conflict areas around the world.
