China has faithfully implemented the pledges it announced at a UN Summit to support UN peacekeeping, says a white paper released by the State Council Information Office Friday.
On Sept. 28, 2015, President Xi Jinping addressed the Leaders' Summit on Peacekeeping at UN headquarters and announced six measures that China would take to support UN peacekeeping.
The Chinese government and armed forces have faithfully implemented the decisions and directions of President Xi Jinping, and taken concrete steps to honor their promises, according to the white paper titled "China's Armed Forces: 30 Years of UN Peacekeeping Operations."
Important progress has been made over the past five years, the paper notes, saying that China has set up a peacekeeping standby force, sent more enabler troops to UN peacekeeping operations, helped train foreign peacekeepers, provided military aid gratis to the African Union, deployed its first peacekeeping helicopter unit for UN peacekeeping operations, and established a China-UN Peace and Development Fund to support the UN efforts for peace and advance multilateral cooperation.
