Over the past 75 years, more than 2 million peacekeeping officers and personnel from 125 contributing countries have participated in serving in 71 UN peacekeeping missions, with over 3,000 individuals having sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.

May 27, 2014, marked a particularly significant event for Vietnam's United Nations peacekeeping forces when the Vietnam Peacekeeping Center, now the Vietnam Department of Peacekeeping Operations, was officially launched.

The Vietnam Department of Peacekeeping Operations (formerly the Vietnam Peacekeeping Center) is an agency under the Ministry of National Defense.
