Bangladesh maintains the culture of peace. Bangladesh’s participation in United Nations Peacekeeping Operation (UNPKO) has been characterized with high professionalism, dedication, empathy and the operational philosophy of “Winning Hearts And Minds (WHAM)” of the people-in need. It may be noted that, with the WHAM activities, Bangladesh Government contributes in social progression of the locals, which have proven to be of high value in the peace process. When Bangladeshi peacekeepers deploy in UNPKO, they function with professionalism and empathy. Bangladesh's partnership with African countries is built on values, mutual respect, and a collective aspiration for a prosperous world. Aligning with this spirit in its’ core, Bangladesh has been contributing humbly in capacity building of the host African countries alongside fulfilling the peacekeeping mandate. With the PKO experience of over 37 years, Bangladesh feels that it can do more in PKO alongside the troop contribution. Bangladesh can further grow together with African countries through peacekeeping which helps in peacebuilding and eradicating the root causes of conflict from the beginning of PKO. Keeping these in mind, the seminar has been organized. Representatives from friendly nations, United Nations, international organizations, various government organizations, national and international non-government organizations, academicians, public and private universities would participate in this seminar.

The events will be for two days (09-10 December 2025): the seminar on the first day in Dhaka and a visit and interaction with the Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMN) Camp on the next day in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The seminar is segmented in three sessions on Peacekeeping to Peacebuilding with Bangladeshi Character, Growing together with African countries and Integration of Women, Peace and Security (WPS), Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) and Climate in Peace Process.
