The United Nations has awarded 'Dag Hammarskjöld Medal' to five fallen Bangladeshi peacekeepers for their supreme sacrifice in UN Peacekeeping operations.

The award was handed over on Friday at the General Assembly Hall by the UN Secretary-General António Guterres in a ceremony to honor 103 peacekeepers from 39 countries who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty in 2022.

The respective Permanent Representatives received the awards on behalf of their countries.
