An Overview

As the UN faces new challenges, personnel serving the UN must also be kept abreast with the dynamics, evolution, the fluid situations and the complexities of peacekeeping. We believe that there are good prospects and great demands for related training programmes. Realising these potentials, the proposal to have own complex since 1999, has materialized. It was inaugurated on the 20th Apr 2006 by The Right Honourable Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister of Malaysia, Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak.

The building concept projects a paradigm shift from the usual military cum regimental outlook. It is structured as an international institute of higher learning and resort complex. This centre will not only serve as the national centre but aspires to be a regional centre. It will also be the referral and resource centre on all aspects pertaining to peacekeeping. It is in this context that MPTC will continue to impart and promote knowledge beneficial to the maintenance of global peace. The centre is located at Segenting Camp, Port Dickson and is well connected by a highway and about 105km from Kuala Lumpur via the North-South Highway. It is approximately 45 minutes travelling distance by road from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
