PEACEKEEPING, DEVELOPMENT IN FOCUS AS UN CHIEF MEETS CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTER
New York, Sep 22 2013 2:00PM
United Nations peacekeeping and a global sustainable development in
the years after 2015 were on the agenda during talks today between
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

During their meeting at United Nations headquarters, Mr. Ban expressed
his appreciation for "China's active leadership role in the United
Nations and its contributions to the Organization,"
<"http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=2993">according to a
UN spokesperson.

In particular, Mr. Ban thanked China for its support to UN
peacekeeping with more than 1,600 Chinese nationals currently serving
as police and UN military experts in missions, and thousands others
having served.

Most recently, the Government committed to sending engineers, medics
and security personnel to the UN mission in Mali known as MINUSMA.

During a visit to Beijing in June, Mr. Ban noted that China provides
more peacekeepers to UN missions than all of the four other permanent
members of the UN Security Council -- France, Russia United Kingdom
and United States -- combined.

Today's bilateral meeting also focused on the 2015 deadline for
achieving the eight anti-poverty targets known as the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs), and on formulating a new development agenda
for post-2015. The topic is due to be a focus for the General Assembly
high-level debate, which starts at the UN Headquarters in New York on
Tuesday.

Mr. Ban and Mr. Wang also discussed climate change and sustainable
development. China, one of the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitters
along with the US, announced earlier this month that the two nations
would cooperate on phasing down production of a group of synthetic
chemicals known as Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) -- in products such as
refrigerators and foams.

The two officials also discussed global hotspots, including the crisis
in Syria, the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, and the
situation in Afghanistan.

They also exchanged views on multilateral cooperation in Northeast
Asia, according to the UN spokesperson.
