Defence Minister Michael Yiorgallas travelled to Ghana to participate in the Ministerial Meeting of the United Nations (UN) Member States, which is taking place on 5-6 December. The Summit will assess the challenges and consider ways to improve the performance of UN peacekeeping operations.
The UN Ministerial Meeting, which is the Organization's premier high-level peacekeeping meeting, is held every two years and is attended by Foreign and Defence Ministers. All Member States represented on the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations were invited to participate in the Summit.
During the Summit, the Minister of Defence will have the opportunity to highlight the importance of UNFICYP's presence in Cyprus and emphasise that it is one of the few UN Member States that both hosts a peacekeeping mission and contributes personnel to UN missions.
On the sidelines of the meeting, the Defence Minister will have bilateral contacts with his counterparts, delegations of other countries and UN officials.
