Q:  It is reported that China will dispatch policemen to participate in the United Nations peacekeeping activities in Kosovo. What's your comment on that?

A:  The 12 peacekeeping policemen dispatched by China to join the United Nations Interim Administration in Kosovo (UNMIK) will set off on April 26 from Beijing. This is China's first team of peacekeeping policemen to Kosovo. China has always respected sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia and Montenegro, faithfully implemented the UNSC Resolution 1244, safeguarded equal rights of all ethnic groups and supported the United Nations' peacekeeping efforts in Kosovo. We stand ready to join the international community to make our due efforts for properly resolving the Kosovo issue.
