FM: Peacekeepers facing unique challenges

United Nations peacekeeping operations have reached a new historical phase and reforms are needed to keep pace with the times, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday.

"This year marks the 70th anniversary of UN peacekeeping operations," Wang said at the high-level meeting on Action for Peacekeeping at UN Headquarters in New York.

"Facing the new context and challenges, it's very meaningful that Secretary-General Guterres has launched the Action for Peacekeeping initiative this year."
