China will work to ensure the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) plays a bigger role in maintaining international peace and security during its rotating presidency this November, China's Foreign Ministry said on Oct 31, Xinhua News Agency reported.

"As rotating president of the UNSC, China will work towards a bigger role for the Security Council, in line with the missions and principles of the UN Charter, in upholding objectiveness and fairness, cooperating in the spirit of unity, taking effective actions, and making positive steps to ensure political settlement of regional hotspot issues, thus playing a major role in maintaining international peace and security," Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lu Kang said at a media briefing.

China is consulting with other UNSC member states about the working agenda of this November, and will also interact more with non-UNSC members, especially states on the UNSC agenda, so as to exercise its responsibility in a more open and transparent way, Lu added.
