Abstract

The subject of the paper is the involvement of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations’ Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali. The paper consists of an introduction, four parts and a conclusion. The introduction discusses the methodological assumptions of the paper. The first part presents the cooperation of the People’s Republic of China with Mali. The second is devoted to security and the UN missions in Mali. The third part examines the reasons for China’s involvement in UN peacekeeping missions and the mission in Mali, whilst the fourth presents the activities of the Chinese military contingent as part of the mission in Mali. The most important conclusions and summaries, as well as the prospects for the further involvement of the PRC in the peacekeeping mission in Mali, are included in the final section.
