Newly minted UN Messenger of Peace George Clooney visited Delhi today along with officials from the UN and India’s Defense Ministry.
According to IANS, South Asia is well represented in the UN Peacekeeping forces: “With 9,357 troops engaged in UN missions, India is the third largest supplier of peacekeepers behind Pakistan (10,610) and Bangladesh (9,856).”
Clooney was coy on what exactly a messenger of peace does, saying that he was too new to the job to describe it.
