The Indian Army is set to join the 22nd edition of the multinational military exercise “Khaan Quest 2025,” which will take place in Mongolia from June 14 to 28, 2025. This exercise serves as a platform for armed forces from various countries to enhance interoperability and collaboration in peacekeeping operations that align with United Nations mandates.
Khaan Quest has gained global recognition for emphasizing the sharing of best practices in joint tactics, operational procedures, and methodologies for multinational missions. It is particularly notable as a training and certification opportunity for UN peacekeepers, making it vital for nations with a robust tradition in peacekeeping efforts.
India’s participation in Khaan Quest 2025 underscores its dedication to fortifying international military partnerships and advancing global peace and security initiatives. As of December 31, 2023, India holds the distinction of deploying the largest number of military personnel to UN peacekeeping operations, illustrating its leadership in global peace support endeavors.
Involvement in this military exercise further solidifies India’s proactive stance in multilateral security collaborations. The planned drills aim to build upon previous partnerships in the Indo-Pacific and Central Asian regions, while also enhancing the Indian Army’s readiness for complex multinational missions. Such initiatives not only spotlight India’s strategic commitments but also reflect its ongoing efforts to contribute to international peacekeeping and stability.
