N. peacekeeping operations, China will move up to 7th place from 11th. Among the permanent members of the UN Security Council, China has contributed the largest number of peacekeeping forces."
Over the past 25 years, China has sent non-combat units including engineering, transportation, medical and security to help with construction, logistics, relief and medical work.
Currently, over 2,600 soldiers are providing support services in nine regions and 83 serve as military observers monitoring ceasefires in both the Middle East and Africa.
Li Xiuhua says the soldiers have been following the principle of respecting local customs during the missions.
"Over the past 25 years, Chinese peacekeepers have followed the U.N.'s code of conduct and local laws. They have kept the record of zero discipline violation 8 and zero repatriation 9. In Africa, the Chinese officers have won a good reputation among local residents. "
