India Hosts UNTCC Chiefs’ Conclave 2025

From 14th to 16th October 2025, India hosted the United Nations Troop Contributing Countries’ Chiefs’ Conclave in New Delhi, bringing together senior military leaders from 32 nations to advance global peacekeeping cooperation.

The conclave marked the first time the Indian Army hosted the event, emphasizing India’s leadership in shaping UN peacekeeping strategies and fostering international collaboration.
Discussions focused on modernizing peace operations, including the use of technology to protect personnel, mandates aligned with ground realities, and missions that uphold both sovereignty and human security.
India’s record in peacekeeping is notable, with over 3,00,000 troops deployed across 50 missions, the first all-female police contingent in Liberia, and a “no national caveat” policy prioritizing collective duty over national interest.
A key theme was leveraging technology, including drones for situational awareness, AI-enabled logistics, and indigenous innovations showcased at the Defence Expo, under India’s Aatmanirbharta (self-reliant) initiative.
