UNITED Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he is looking forward to meeting members of the new Chinese leadership and he hopes to see "an even bigger and stronger partnership" between the United Nations and China.
The secretary-general made the remarks ahead of an official visit to China from June 18 to 21. This will be his first visit to China since President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and other members of the new Chinese leadership assumed office, Ban said.
"I am really looking forward to meeting the new leadership," he said.
China and the United Nations have been maintaining a strong partnership and they could be even closer partners on issues such as the promotion of sustainable development, he said.
"China is one of the crucially important member states of the United Nations," Ban said.
"I hope China will do more for the whole contribution to the international community, starting from peacekeeping operations and also contributing to the international communities' ongoing efforts to define a sustainable development agenda."
The UN chief said he will discuss with the Chinese leaders many regional issues including the situation on the Korean Peninsula, the situation in Syria, Mali, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
He said he expects China will continue to play a very constructive role in maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
Ban said such efforts will be conducive to peace and harmony in Northeast Asia.
