"Among UN Security Council permanent members, China sends the largest group of peacekeepers to overseas posts," Liu said, "China is also the second largest peacekeeping funder."

"China has always been proposing to peacefully solve disputes through dialogue and negotiation, and safeguard security through joint, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable efforts," he added.

Third, China firmly supports a "strong and robust" role for the UN.

China is one of the founding members of the UN, and the third largest fee payers among UN members, Liu said. Since the restoration of China's seat in the UN in 1971, China has always been defending the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.

"Under the banner of peace, development, cooperation, and win-for-all, China adamantly supports the multilateral cooperative work of the UN, and helps push its work in various fields to move forward," the Chinese diplomat said.

During the UN's 70th anniversary summit last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that China will establish a 1-billion-dollar China-UN peace and development fund to support the UN's work, creating a new scenario of China-UN cooperation, Liu noted.

"China's endeavor of keeping international peace and promoting common development is always on the way, and will not stop," the Chinese envoy concluded.
