Consistent with the national commitment towards international peace and stability, Malaysia has been actively supporting the efforts of the United Nations. The Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF), as a major participant, has always maintained a proud tradition of excellence in all UN missions it had participated in more than 20 countries since the Congo's mission in 1960. To enhance these achievements and further equip our peacekeepers, the establishment of a training centre was hence realised on the 19th of January 1996, when the Defence Minister of Malaysia officially declared open the Malaysian Peacekeeping Training Centre.
The Malaysian Peacekeeping Training Centre is managed by the Ministry of Defence and established to provide personnel of the Armed Forces and other agencies with training and education to enable them to effectively function in a peacekeeping mission.
To prepare personnel of the Armed Forces, Police
and Civil Departments including Non-Governmental Organisations for operational
duties in peacekeeping missions.
