中国军队参加联合国维和行动，源于中华民族的和平基因。中华民族的“和”文化，蕴涵着天人合一的宇宙观、协和万邦的国际观、和而不同的社会观、人心和善的道德观，和平、和睦、和谐是中华民族最朴素的追求，和合共生、以和为贵、与人为善等理念在中国代代相传。几千年来，和平融入中华民族的血脉中，刻进中国人民的基因里，成为中国军队的不懈追求。

China's armed forces participate in the UNPKOs, because the pursuit of peace is in the genes of the Chinese nation. The Chinese nation values peace and harmony. Ideas such as "unity of man and nature" "harmony among all nations" "harmony without uniformity" and "kindness towards fellow human beings," voice the mind of the Chinese people on the universe, international relations, society and ethics. The pursuit of peace, amity and harmony has long been the primary aspiration of our nation. The philosophy of upholding peace, harmony, cooperation and common development has been passed down from generation to generation in China. For millennia, peace has been in the veins and the DNA of the Chinese nation. It is a consistent goal of China's armed forces.
