“At the most fundamental level, the ultimate resolution of the problem of Georgia will depend on the peoples of Georgia themselves. International efforts can be effective only when both sides share a political will. We hope, therefore, that the two sides will put the fundamental interests of the multi-ethnic population of Georgia above all other considerations, settle their differences through negotiations and conclude the necessary agreements on such issues as the return of refugees and economic reconstruction, so as to create favourable conditions for the resolution of the essential question of the political status of Abkhazia.”

“The unilateral decision to hold presidential elections this autumn has cast a new shadow over the peace process. The Chinese delegation would like to reiterate that China has always maintained that in the process of settling the Abkhaz conflict, the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia should be respected by the international community. At the same time, the basic rights of the multi-ethnic population of the Abkhaz region should be duly protected. The Chinese delegation opposes any acts aimed at dividing the territory of Georgia. We believe that the unilateral decision to hold presidential elections in Abkhazia is illegitimate and should not, therefore, receive international recognition.”

“Mr. Chen Xu (China) (spoke in Chinese): I wish at the outset to welcome the Foreign Minister of Georgia, who is participating in today's meeting. The conflict in Abkhazia, Georgia, has been going on for more than seven years. In all this time, the international community has never ceased its mediation efforts, and the Security Council has been closely monitoring the peace process in Abkhazia, Georgia. We greatly appreciate the mediation efforts undertaken by the Secretary-General, his Special Representative and the Group of Friends of the Secretary-General on Georgia. I have noted that recently there has been positive progress in the situation in the region. However, some crucial problems remain unresolved, and the political settlement process has reached an impasse.”

“China sincerely hopes that the various parties in the Central African Republic will settle their disputes soon, smoothly carry out presidential elections and support MINURCA in providing assistance in this respect. Finally, I should like to emphasize the importance of paragraph 16 of the draft resolution. We appeal to the international community to help the Central African Republic to bring about sustainable economic and social development so as to achieve genuine and lasting peace and stability.”

“China has always maintained that the Bangui Agreements and the National Reconciliation Pact are the bases for bringing about peace and stability in the Central African Republic, and the various sides should fully and faithfully implement them. We fully support the Government and people of the Central African Republic in carrying out reforms in the political, economic, social and security areas. We urge the international community to provide the necessary assistance for this. At the same time, we also believe that such reforms, especially the restructuring of the armed forces, are the internal affairs of a country, and the Security Council should not intervene too much. We therefore hope that, in future consultations, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General will fully seek and respect the views of the host Government.”

“Mr. Chen Xu (China) (interpretation from Chinese): China supports the extension of the mandate of the United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic (MINURCA). Recently, conflicts have repeatedly broken out in many areas of Africa. However, the Central African Republic has maintained relative stability and has smoothly carried out legislative elections. This is the result of the effort and cooperation of the Government and people of Central African Republic and MINURCA. MINURCA in particular has played a special role in this respect. It has won the widespread appreciation of the people and of various parties in the country. Once again, this has demonstrated that the Security Council is clearly able to do concrete work for African countries and peoples.”
