"I extend my gratitude to all the Chinese peacekeepers past and present," said Lacroix.

UN peacekeeping operations are important measures to safeguard international peace and security. They arise from and adapt to the evolving times, said Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations.

As this year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, the "Action for Peacekeeping" initiative put forward by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has entered a crucial stage of implementation, and peacekeeping operations are at a new starting point, he said.

At present, more than 2,500 Chinese peacekeepers are carrying out peacekeeping missions in nine mission areas, with more Chinese young men and women expected to join them.
