Today #UNFICYP bids farewell to Major Ayesha Khan from #Pakistan 🇵🇰. Major Khan served for over a year in #Cyprus as a Military Public Information Officer and a focal point for uniformed women peacekeepers.
We wish her success in her future endeavors. #A4P #serving4peace #womeninpeacekeeping
Pakistan is among the first countries to meet UN targets for female peacekeepers, strengthening inclusion and operational effectiveness.
