Over the past week, more than 120 heads of state and government addressed the General Assembly on the theme of "the United Nations at 70 -- a new commitment to action," calling for unified actions to combat the most urgent issues the international community has been faced with.
China has pledged to contribute to strengthening the UN peacekeeping by setting up a permanent peacekeeping police squad and build a peacekeeping standby force of 8,000 troops.
The Syrian crisis, extremism and terrorism, refugee and migration crises have been highlighted in several high-level meetings on the sidelines of the general debate, with world leaders committing themselves to coordinating efforts to take actions.
The assembly is the main deliberative organ of the world body. Comprising all 193 members, it provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of the full spectrum of international issues.
The General Assembly meets in regular session intensively from September to December each year. At the beginning of each regular session, the assembly holds a general debate, often addressed by heads of state and government to express their views on the most pressing international issues. (WDY)
