Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to Ethiopia, Djibouti, and African Union, Al Busyra Basnur on his part said it should be acknowledged that the UN peace keeping mission become not only a flagship, but also a critical tools that has been playing pivotal role in maintaining international peace and security.<\/p>\n

Since first established in 1948, UN peace keeping missions have deployed more than one million personnel women and men that served in 72 UN peace keeping missions.<\/p>\n

This annual commemoration is indeed to pay tribute to the global of uniform and civilian personnel including more than 400 peace keepers who have sacrifice their life in their global duty, the ambassador pointed out.<\/p>\n

It shall also be recognized that women have become increasingly needed, part of the peace keeping family, making operation more effective, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs mainstreaming women participation become an important national agenda, Indonesia is also committed to enhancing the participation of female personnel in UN peace keeping missions as well as promoting the role of women as agent of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indonesia is currently participating in six UN peace keeping mission in Africa which total number of over 1400 including 74 female personnel.<\/p>\n

As member of the international community, MIKTA countries are also always committed to contributing to the world peace and security including through participation in UN peace keeping mission, ambassador Basnur added.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia\u2019s peace keeping contribution to the UN mission dates back to 1950 when Ethiopian contingent deployed to Korea.<\/p>\n

Since then Ethiopia has participated in 11 peace keeping mission in Kongo, Rwanda, Burundi, Liberia C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire and recently in Darfur and Abiye. Currently Ethiopian peace keeping contingents are serving in South Sudan and Somalia.<\/p>\n
