NEW YORK, June 26 (UPI) -- Chinese film star Jackie Chan is on a three-day visit to Timor-Leste to promote the use of martial arts for peace, the United Nations said.

SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The trip is part of his duties as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Children's Fund.

UNICEF said Wednesday Chan is taking part in a performance by more than 3,500 martial arts students in the Timorese capital of Dili. He is also meeting young people across the tiny South-East Asian country, which saw a surge in violent clashes in 2006 and attacks earlier this year that left the Timorese president injured.

Chan has been a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF since 2004.
