China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) is actively committed to maintaining world peace and stability and continuously demonstrating China's due responsibility as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, said Major General Huang Xueping, head of the Military Staff Committee of China's Permanent Mission to the United Nations.

To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the PLA, a photo exhibition called Journey of Glory opened on Monday at UN headquarters in New York. It will run one week.

With more than 60 photographs on display along the south wall of the first floor, the exhibition illustrates 90 years of historic achievements of the PLA led by the Chinese Communist Party in its bloody and arduous fight for the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation, safeguarding sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of the country, participating in the great cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, "and maintaining world peace", Huang said.

"In UN peacekeeping missions, escort missions in the Gulf of Aden, the fight against the Ebola infectious disease in Africa and in international humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations, the images of the PLA are everywhere," Huang said.

"China plays a significant role in the peace and security architecture of the United Nations, not only as a permanent member of the Security Council, but also as a significant financial as well as police and troop contributor to the UN peacekeeping," said Alexander Zouev, assistant secretary-general of office of the Rule of Law and Security Institutions in the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) of the UN, at the exhibition's opening ceremony.
