Nepali Peacekeepers Recognized for Courage, Discipline, and Professionalism in UN Missions

Nepali peacekeepers have succeeded in establishing themselves as courageous, disciplined, and professional forces in global peacekeeping efforts. The Nepali Army began its collaboration with the United Nations peacekeeping operations in 1958 by deploying five military observers in Lebanon, and it has since become a strong partner in the global arena.

Former Force Commander of the UN Mission in Syria, Ishwar Hamal, states that under the umbrella of the United Nations, the Nepali Army has readily accepted risky tasks and responsibilities, successfully portraying itself as a champion soldier who is honest, professional, and obedient to orders.
