Training of Moldovan peacekeepers evaluated by experts of the Joint Staff of the Italian Armed Forces



CHISINAU, November 15, 2022 — A team of experts from the Joint Staff of the Italian Armed Forces evaluates the training process of the National Army contingent expected to participate in the peacekeeping operation in the Republic of Lebanon — the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

At the Ministry of Defense, the Italian experts had a meeting with Brigadier General Eduard Ohladciuc, Commander of the National Army, during which they discussed several issues related to the training, equipping, and deployment of the Moldovan contingent in UNIFIL in February 2023.

In this context, General Ohladciuc thanked the Italian partners for their support in the training of Moldovan peacemakers, reiterating

the effort to develop the objective of extending the presence of the Republic of Moldova in peacekeeping and stability operations at the international level.

At the same time, the commander of the National Army mentioned the logistical support granted to the Moldovan contingents active in the KFOR peacekeeping mission in Kosovo since 2014.

Also, during November 14-17, the Italian delegation visited the 22 peacekeeping Battalion "Blue Helmets" and the training centers of the National Army, where the Moldovan soldiers are trained.

The first four officers and sergeants were deployed to Lebanon in August. They work in the staff of the UNIFIL mission.

The decision to participate in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was approved by the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova in November 2021. It supports the objective of intensifying the contribution to ensuring peace through participation in international missions, provided for in the Government’s Activity Program, but also in the context of the implementation of the provisions of Law no. 219/2015 on the participation of the Republic of Moldova in international missions and operations.
