Morocco underscores commitment to UN peacekeeping efforts

Discussions focused on Morocco’s significant and exemplary contributions to United Nations peacekeeping operations.

Morocco’s role stems from a royal strategic vision grounded in a longstanding commitment to UN peacekeeping that dates back to 1960.

Currently ranked ninth among top troop-contributing countries to UN peacekeeping missions, Morocco chairs the UN Peacebuilding Commission for 2026 and coordinates the Non-Aligned Movement on peacekeeping issues — a reflection of the international trust it commands regarding global peace and security.

Lacroix’s visit comes amid major UN reform initiatives, including “UN 80” to streamline the Secretariat and a strategic review of all peacekeeping operations and the international peace and security architecture — aimed at restoring the primacy of political solutions in conflict management.
