Amman: Director of Public Security Directorate (PSD), Maj. Gen. Dr. Obaidullah Maayta, on Wednesday visited the Peacekeeping Operations Department. During the visit, Maayta checked on training and qualification programs for PSD's personnel nominated to participate in United Nations peacekeeping missions.

According to Jordan News Agency, Maayta assessed these servicemen's readiness to carry out their assigned security and humanitarian tasks "efficiently and professionally." Maayta said Jordan's participation in UN peacekeeping missions aligns with the vision and directives of the wise Hashemite leadership.

As for its significance, he stated this presence reflects Jordan's "firm" commitment to supporting international peace and security and contributing to the protection of communities affected by conflicts and crises. This effort, he noted, reflects the Kingdom's civilized image and strengthens its position as a "reliable" international partner in establishing the values ??of peace and stability.

He noted the United Nations' accreditation of the PSD's Peacekeeping Operations Training Institute as a regional and international center for building the participants' capacities in UN missions and programs represents a national achievement. He said this milestone reflects the PSD's global confidence and affirms the quality of its training programs, the personnel competence, and their accumulated expertise in this field.

On future schemes, he directed the continued development of specialized training programs to keep pace with the best practices and international standards, and leverage the practical experience of previous participants to benefit new peacekeepers. He said this vision will contribute to enhancing readiness and the ability to perform tasks "efficiently and adequately" and maintain the "distinguished" reputation of the PSD's personnel established in various UN missions over the past years.

In a presentation, Maayta was briefed by the Director of the Peacekeeping Operations Department, who reviewed the mechanisms for picking and qualifying participants, the accredited training programs, and the development plans aimed at enhancing the participants' efficiency and keeping pace with the evolving requirements of working in UN missions. The director said this process ensures the continued excellence of Jordanian participation and its active presence at the international level.
