Pakistani army Peace Keepers have participated in 43 UN Peacekeeping Missions including some of the most challenging ones. 153 Pakistani peacekeepers have sacrificed their lives including 23 Officers for global peace and stability under UN auspices. As of today over 6000 officers and soldiers are performing their duties as part of UN peace keeping assignments.

Pakistan is one of the largest and most effective Troops Contributing Country consistently for years . Professionalism and services of Pakistani peacekeepers have been widely acknowledged world wide by world leaders and UN leadership

Even though there's the money aspect to this,
it must be stressed that Pakistan usually comes
in second ( to Bangladesh for the same reason )
in number of troops and as the casualties shows
doesn't pick its missions but goes and does.

The cultural aspect including the Muslim identity
and also the Desi sensibility is another valuable
specific of the Pakistani contribution.

Good day Zarvan and all, Tay.
