Saturday
This year Australian Peacekeeper Day is the first activity in a series of four activities to commemorate Australian Peacekeeping and the 25th Anniversary of Australian Service in Timor-Leste.
This is the first of four activities to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Australian Service in Timor-Leste. Chronologically they are:
Here, stories will flow, friendships rekindled, and camaraderie reignited as we share common experiences and celebrate our shared commitment to global peace and security. It's a day for reminiscing, connecting, and embracing the bonds that tie us together, regardless of where our service took us.
Whether you served in Timor-Leste, a United Nations Operation or contributed to non-UN missions like the Multinational Force and Observers, Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI), Peace Monitoring Group (PMG) in Bougainville and others, this day is yours to cherish. Let's make this day a vibrant tapestry of memories and gratitude for our collective efforts in shaping a more peaceful world.
Other services are planned across the country and details will soon flow through on those and we also have the remained of the week in Canberra that concludes with a televised national day of commemoration for the 25th Anniversary of Australian Service in Timor-Leste on Friday 20 September 2024.
