Peacekeeping by the United Nations aims to help conflict-torn countries and to create better conditions for long-lasting peace. China has been actively engaged in UN peacekeeping missions as a responsible stakeholder in the international community. It is the largest personnel contributor to such missions among the UN Security Council's permanent members. Chinese troops provide military support, medical care, roadwork, transportation, and engineering services in war-riddled regions.

These pictures relate to the work and life of Chinese peacekeepers around the world.
