Addressing a peacekeeping summit at the United Nations headquarters, which gathered leaders and representatives of over 70 countries and international organizations, Xi said China is to join the new UN peacekeeping capability readiness system.
China, Xi declared, will take the lead to set up a permanent peacekeeping police squad and will build a peacekeeping standby force of 8,000 troops.
China is also to actively consider the UN's request of sending more engineering, transportation and medical personnel to join peacekeeping missions, and will train 2,000 foreign peacekeepers and carry out 10 mine-clearing assistance programs in the next five years, he added.
