Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday highlighted China's support for the United Nations (UN) and the country's contributions to the organization in peacekeeping, poverty reduction and climate change at a forum to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the resumption of its membership of the world body.
