Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed on Thursday said that peacekeeping in the UN Mission is an immensely challenging task due to adverse environments, unfamiliar climates, and cultural differences.

"The biggest challenge is staying ready for facing challenges and uncertainty all time, you have to remain alert all time, you have to remain alert mentally and physically," he said while addressing a programme marking the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers, reports UNB.

The event was held at the Bangladesh-China Friendship International Conference Center in Dhaka.

The day is being observed under the theme The Future of Peacekeeping.

Dr Salehuddin lauded the contribution of Bangladeshi peacekeepers saying they uphold the country's image as a peace-loving and developing nation in the global arena.

"Bangladesh does not seek peace only for itself-we are committed to promoting peace in every corner of the world," he added.

He said maintaining peace has become more difficult now than ever before.

"Expansion of technology and complexities of the usage of technology make it harder, new threats are coming," he said.

He urged the peacekeepers to be well-prepared before joining any mission.
