  1. “China welcomes the supplemental financing from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund and calls on the international community to step up efforts to help plug the gaps in Somalia’s humanitarian aid, enhance its capacity to respond to the pandemics and disasters, and support the advancement of its national development plan. China has always been an active contributor to the Somali peace process and a long-time provider of humanitarian assistance and economic and social development support. This year alone, we have donated two batches of medical supplies to Somalia and will continue to help to the best of our abilities. China stands ready to work with the international community in playing a constructive role in realizing the goal of peace, stability and development in Somalia.”

  2. “The ability of the Somali security forces to assume primary responsibility for maintaining national security is key to the timely completion of the Somali transition plan. The international community should assist Somalia in capacity-building in the security sector and continue to provide the necessary security support on the basis of a full assessment of local security situations. Fourthly, the triple shock of COVID-19, flooding and locust infestations has had a grave impact on Somalia’s economic and social development and aggravated its humanitarian crisis.”

  3. “China welcomes the dialogue between the Somali Federal Government and the federal member states on specific electoral arrangements and encourages them to design electoral processes in the light of the situation on the ground and the people’s wishes. The international community should respect the leading role of the Somali Government and support full consultation among the Somali parties in order to create conditions favourable to well-run elections. Thirdly, eliminating the threat of terrorism is prerequisite for the long-term peace and stability of Somalia. China strongly condemns terrorist and violent incidents, which often claim innocent civilians as their victims. We commend the African Union Mission in Somalia for its important role in maintaining stability.”

  4. “First, efforts to advance Somali’s critical process must ensure that it is Somali-owned and Somali-led. China encourages the relevant Somali parties to further build mutual trust and gather momentum for dialogue, enhance federal institutions and move ahead with the constitutional review and other critical reform processes. China supports regional and subregional organizations, such as the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, in playing a mediation role for the political settlement of the Somali issue. The United Nations Mission in Somalia has been actively coordinating the various efforts of the international community and has played a constructive role. China supports the renewal of its mandate for 12 months. Secondly, a critical task of the Somali political process is to hold successful elections.”

  5. “Mr. Bing Dai (China) (spoke in Chinese): China thanks the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. James Swan, and the Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission for Somalia, Mr. Francisco Caetano José Madeira, for their briefings. Somalia is entering a critical stage in its achievement of peace and reconstruction. Over the past three months, the Somali federal Government has made earnest efforts to advance the national reconstruction process and tackle the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. It has gradually resumed dialogue with leaders of the federal member states. At the same time, the country’s security and humanitarian situation has remained fragile, as evidenced by frequent terrorist and other violent incidents. In this regard, I would like to make the following four points.”

  6. “China supports regional and subregional organizations, such as the African Union and ECOWAS, in continuing to provide tailored support for Guinea-Bissau’s peace and development, while respecting its sovereignty and without interfering in its internal affairs. The United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea- Bissau (UNIOGBIS), for its part, can continue to play a coordinating role to create synergies among various actors. Fourthly, China has taken note of the phased implementation of the transition plan by UNIOGBIS and encourages the Office to strengthen its communication and coordination with the United Nations country team and the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel and to take fully on board the views of the Government of Guinea-Bissau in order to ensure a seamless transition between mandates.”

  7. “Secondly, given Guinea-Bissau’s economic fragility, in addition to its own efforts, greater international support is in order through increased investment in the country’s poverty reduction efforts, education, health care and infrastructure, among other areas, so that the country can develop sustainably on both the economic and social fronts. China stands ready, along with the rest of the international community, to provide assistance where we can to support Guinea-Bissau’s national development and COVID-19 response. Thirdly, ECOWAS played an important role in resolving the election-related dispute through active mediation. China continues to support African countries in seeking African solutions to African issues.”

  8. “The parties in Guinea-Bissau should seize that opportunity to put the long-term interests of their country and their nation first, take practical steps to continue implementing the Conakry Agreement and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) six-point road map, expedite the constitutional review and other political reforms, consolidate the hard-won political stability, promote economic development and improve the people’s living standards. The challenge of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) makes it all the more important for the parties to keep the interests of the people foremost in their minds and to work as one in the fight against COVID-19. The parties should also work harder to combat drug trafficking and transnational organized crime in the defence of the rule of law and justice.”

  9. “China is pleased to note that the National Assembly approved the new Government programme on 29 June this year and that the political process is gradually getting back on the right track. We find these developments commendable. In the light of the Secretary-General’s report (S/2020/755), I would like to make the following points. First, the formation of the new Government created a pivotal opportunity.”

  10. “Mr. Bing Dai (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to preface my statement with a condemnation of the attack that took place yesterday in the Niger and to express our condolences to the families of the victims. I would like to thank the three briefers — Special Representative of the Secretary-General Sori-Coulibaly, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Executive Director Waly and Ambassador De Almeida Filho, Chair of the Guinea-Bissau configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission — for their briefings. China has been closely following the developments in Guinea-Bissau. Presidential elections were held at the end of 2019, which went smoothly despite some dispute of the election results. The parties have, by and large, been able to resolve their differences through dialogue.”
