The event also highlighted the 2026 United Nations Peacekeeping Chiefs Workshop, hosted by the UAE Ministry of Interior in Abu Dhabi from 31 August to 4 September.

Held for the first time, the workshop brought together leaders from the police and military components of peacekeeping missions to strengthen operational performance, readiness, and coordination.

The workshop also earned international recognition for the UAE’s high standards of organisation, coordination, and logistical support, which provided a platform for dialogue, knowledge-sharing and the exchange of expertise.

The broad participation also reflected the international community’s confidence in the UAE as a reliable partner in peacekeeping efforts and in Abu Dhabi as a safe and stable destination for international cooperation.

Through its chairmanship of the Strategic Police Advisory Group, the UAE reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening cooperation with the United Nations and Member States and supporting efforts to enhance the effectiveness of peacekeeping operations.
