UNSC to hold summit meeting in September
The United Nations Security Council is planning to hold a summit meeting in late September on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Top leaders of the council's 5 permanent members and 10 non-permanent members are expected to attend the summit.
The leaders met last year to discuss nuclear disarmament. This year, UN peacekeeping activities across the world will be high on the agenda.
In recent years, UN peacekeeping forces have been engaged in reconstruction efforts on top of their security operations.
Attention is focused on whether September's summit can lay out a direction for future PKO activities.
