- In response, Mr. Khare explained how the UN TPP has evolved and expressed his appreciation for Japan's significant contributions to international peace and security through the UN TPP. The two sides also exchanged opinions on the reform of the United Nations under the UN80 Initiative and confirmed that they would continue the cooperation between Japan and the United Nations.
(Reference) The United Nations Triangular Partnership Programme (TPP)
A framework for capacity-building on UN peacekeepers through the cooperation among the United Nations, Supporting Member States, and Troop Contributing Countries. Since former Prime Minister ABE announced our support for the rapid deployment of Peacekeeping operations at the first Leader’s Summit on Peacekeeping held at the UN headquarters in 2024, which triggered the launch of the TPP, Japan has been leading TPP by dispatching instructors for engineering and medical training.
