The United Nations Deputy Secretary-General has lauded Japan's contributions to Peacekeeping Operations (PKO). The remarks were made at a recent international conference, confirming Japan's significant role in global security cooperation through its participation in these missions. The article, however, doesn't detail specific operations or the nature of Japan's contribution.

Peacekeeping operations are highly valued in Japan, reflecting their commitment to international peace and security. Japan's constitution has a policy of non-aggression and renunciation of warfare, yet the country plays a significant role in supporting global peace through the PKO. This news could stir discussion among Japan's populace who have a keen interest in their country's international participation.

Comparatively, US and EU countries have a more direct military involvement in global peacekeeping and conflict resolution. Japan’s role is more focused on providing logistical and humanitarian aid in peacekeeping missions, arguably due to their constitutional provisions and pacifist stance that limit direct military involvement.
