Military Adviser Colonel Tarunendra Pratap Singh, representing India's Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York, addressed the UN General Assembly’s Fourth Committee on 5 November during its annual debate on the comprehensive review of peacekeeping operations. Emphasising India's longstanding contribution to UN peacekeeping, he highlighted the deployment of over 300,000 Indian troops across 50 missions and paid tribute to the 184 Indian peacekeepers who have made the supreme sacrifice. Singh underscored the need to hold perpetrators of attacks against peacekeepers accountable, highlighting India's leadership on UN Security Council Resolution 2589. Calling for peacekeeping missions to be better resourced, better protected and more representative, he advocated institutionalised consultations with troop- and police-contributing countries before mandates are adopted or reviewed. He stressed that mandates must be accompanied by adequate capabilities and resources, and that missions lacking operational rationale should be rationalised. Underscoring the importance of political processes alongside peacekeeping, he also highlighted women's participation in missions and the need to integrate technology and renewable energy. Reaffirming India's commitment to peacekeeping, Singh identified it as a priority for India's candidature for the UN Security Council for 2028–29.
