Deputy Minister of Public Security Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Van
Thanh stated that Vietnam is ready to send police officers to United
Nations peacekeeping operations, during the first-ever United Nations
Police (UNPOL) gathering at the UN headquarters in New York on June 3.
The Vietnamese police officer spoke highly of the activities of UN
peacekeeping forces, revealing that Vietnam is actively preparing
necessary resources to join the work.
He also made a number of proposals to the meeting, suggesting that the
event should be organised annually for police chiefs of countries to
meet and share experience and exchange information.
Following the summit, it is necessary to make detailed action plans for
specific regions, while setting up a monitoring mechanism, he suggested,
adding that UN police should design policies to support their peers in
countries preparing to send their officers to UN peacekeeping
operations.
Addressing the event, which gathered more than 100 national police
chiefs, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said brave police officers are
making a difference by establishing the rule of law and paving the way
for peace and sustainable development.
From Kabul to Kinshasa, from Port-au-Prince to Pristine, UN police work
in some of the most challenging situations on earth to protect
communities, bring stability and restore confidence, he noted.
Participants at the meeting agreed that UNPOL has become a central
pillar of the organisation’s peace operations, and therefore must be fit
for purpose to meet the security threats in today’s volatile world.
The meeting aims to chart the way forward for UNPOL to deliver a greater impact on the ground.
Currently, 12,600 police officers from 87 countries are deployed in 18 UN peacekeeping operations.-VNA
