Cyprus is very well aware of the importance and significant contribution of the UN for keeping and preserving peace, Defense Minister, Charalampos Petrides has stressed in his address duirng the 2nd session of UN Peacekeeping Ministerial Meeting in Seoul on Partnership, Training and Capacity Building.
At his video message Petrides said that as the host country of a long-running United Nations peacekeeping operation, Cyprus holds that the mandates of Peacekeeping Operations must be clear and simple, no matter how complex a conflict is. UNFICYP is a case in point; the Force’s mandate has proven flexible enough to see the Force through very significant changes on the ground, throughout its decade’s long presence, he added.
