“However, maintaining national security and protecting civilians must ultimately depend on the strength of the country itself. As the security threat from armed groups wanes, the international community, in particular the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), should shift the focus towards helping the Government of the Central African Republic to restore State authority, promote the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process and facilitate judicial institution-building. It is particularly important to help the Central African Republic enhance its own strength in maintaining stability so as to lay a solid foundation for post-conflict reconstruction. Thirdly, it is important to help the Central African Republic to stabilize its economy.”

“We support the good offices of regional organizations carried out on the basis of the actual conditions and needs of the Central African Republic in order to move the political process forward along the right path. In turn, the international community should provide targeted assistance based on respect for the leadership of the Government of the Central African Republic. Secondly, there must be strong support for the Government of the Central African Republic in strengthening its capacity-building. The Government of the Central African Republic has responded positively to international concerns over areas such as security sector reform, the protection of the civilians and fighting impunity, among others, and has taken a series of important measures to that end.”

“That is an important decision made by the Government of the Central African Republic in the greater interest of national peace and development. China welcomes that initiative and hopes that a general ceasefire can be attained. We encourage the parties concerned to take an active part in the “republican dialogue” and step up the implementation of the peace agreement through concrete actions. Peace and development in the Central African Republic are closely linked to the prosperity and stability of the region. China has taken note that the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region convened several mini-summits and drew up a road map for the Central African Republic.”

“The international community should step up its support to help the Central African Republic embark on the path to development and nation-building. In connection with the report of the Secretary- General (S/2021/867), I wish to make the following points. First, the political process must continue to be strengthened. Currently, the functioning of State institutions in the Central African Republic is gradually returning to normal, with the local administrations and security sector continuing to gain strength. Next year will see the first local elections in more than 30 years. China welcomes the steady progress made in restoring State authority and promoting national political life. On 15 October, President Touadera declared a ceasefire.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): I welcome President Touadera to today’s meeting, and I thank him for his statement. I also thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Ndiaye; Mr. Adeoye, Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security of the African Union; and Ambassador Skoog, Head of the Delegation of the European Union to the United Nations, for their briefings. I also listened to the statement by the Central African Republic civil- society representative. At present, the overall political and security situation in the Central African Republic is moving in a positive direction. The Government of the Central African Republic has taken a series of important initiatives aimed at post-conflict reconstruction.”

“As the drawdown of MONUSCO continues, the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo will gradually assume the main responsibility for maintaining national security and stability. The Security Council should actively respond to the concerns of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Government regarding the adjustment of sanctions measures to avoid their negative impact on the country’s capacity-building in the area of security. China has always been committed to helping the Democratic Republic of the Congo achieve peace, stability and development. The twenty-fifth deployment of Chinese peacekeepers to the Democratic Republic of the Congo recently arrived in the mission area. Since 2003, China has sent more than 3,000 peacekeepers to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to carry out thousands of security and support missions.”

“China calls on the international community, in particular international financial institutions, to honour their commitments of assistance to the Democratic Republic of the Congo by increasing investment to help the country tackle the current challenges. The global development initiative proposed by China’s President Xi Jinping during the general debate of the General Assembly (see A/76/PV.3) will help the international community form synergy in assisting developing countries, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and help eliminate the development gap and the root causes of conflicts. China has always emphasized that sanctions are only a means, not an end.”

“In the areas where MONUSCO has withdrawn the United Nations development and humanitarian agencies should quickly follow up in order to assist the local government with post-conflict peacebuilding and ensure that the progress made with regard to peace will not be reversed. Thirdly, development and humanitarian assistance should be increased. At present, the Democratic Republic of the Congo faces multiple health challenges, such as the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), malaria and cholera, as well as a large number of refugees and displaced persons in the country. Its national development reform needs urgent financial support. Meanwhile, the United Nations humanitarian response plans severely lacks funding, limiting its ability to respond to the current serious humanitarian situation.”

“China recognizes the determination of the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to combat the violence by armed groups and hopes that the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) and the Forces armées de la République démocratique du Congo will continue their coordination and cooperation in order to strengthen the protection of civilians. MONUSCO and the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have jointly formulated 18 benchmarks and risk mitigation measures for the Mission’s withdrawal and added more details to MONUSCO’s drawdown and withdrawal plan, which will help all parties to follow the progress and clariy their responsibilities.”

“Secondly, the security issues in the eastern part of the country should be addressed in a comprehensive manner. In response to the unstable situation in the east, the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo took a series of measures, including imposing a state of siege, promulgating disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and stabilization programmes and appointing a coordinator. President Tshisekedi Tshilombo also presented a relevant development in his address to the General Assembly (see A/76/PV.3).”

“President Tshisekedi Tshilombo and the leaders of the countries of the region reached a series of important agreements on maintaining the security of the region, combating the threat of armed groups and strengthening economic and trade ties. China hopes that countries of the region will continue to improve their relations, strengthen exchanges and enhance cooperation in order to lay a solid foundation for lasting peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes region. China welcomes the new strategy and action plan for the Great Lakes region developed by the Special Envoy of the Secretary- General for the Great Lakes Region. We believe that the efforts that I mentioned will provide new momentum for regional cooperation.”

“First, every effort should continue to be made to maintain political stability. The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo developed and launched a three-year programme of action that serves as a road map for lasting peace and sustainable development in the country. China appreciates those efforts, and we hope that the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo will focus on promoting reforms in key areas with regard to improving governance capabilities. Electoral reform is essential to the national unity of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. China encourages all parties to engage in inclusive dialogue to properly resolve differences under the constitutional framework.”

I welcome the presence of the representative of the Democratic Republic of the Congo at today’s meeting. Since the formation of the new Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a number of positive steps have been taken in the political, security, economic and other fields. Meanwhile, the security and humanitarian situations in the eastern part of the country are still grim. There remain serious challenges to achieving long-term peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In connection with the report of the Secretary- General (S/2021/807), I would like to make the following points.”

“We hope that all parties in the country will demonstrate the requisite political will and act in accordance with the LPDF road map to ensure the holding of elections at the end of the year, as scheduled. China supports the holding, after the election and in the light of the development of the situation, of a discussion to consider adjusting the leadership of UNSMIL, and we support a Libyan-owned and Libyan-led political process. At the same time, we would emphasize that foreign troops and mercenaries should withdraw in a balanced and orderly manner, so as to avoid any risks and challenges to the security of Libya and neighbouring countries.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): After a decade of conflict, Libya is generally on the right track of political transition and national reconstruction. China appreciates the positive efforts by all parties in the country in this respect. China supports the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) in playing a more active and constructive role in helping Libya implement the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) road map and in achieving a political settlement of the Libyan issue, in accordance with the principle of Libyan ownership and leadership and relevant Council resolutions. Based on the foregoing, China supports the extension of UNSMIL’s mandate. At present, the political process in Libya is at a critical stage.”

“China encourages Somalia to continue to advance the election process in accordance with the time frame agreed upon by all parties and to resolve the outstanding issues through political dialogue. The international community should continue to provide the necessary financial and technical support for the elections, in accordance with the principle of a Somali-led and Somali-owned process. Faced with the multiple challenges, the current situation in Somalia is sensitive and complex. The Security Council should calibrate the periodicity and efforts invested in the deliberations and be seized of the priorities of the situation so that Somalia can focus on advancing important issues concerning its future and destiny.”

“We believe that Somali leaders will heed the voices and wishes of the people and the international community by strengthening unity. China encourages the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Somalia to continue their mediation efforts to bring the political situation in Somalia back on track. The most urgent task for Somalia right now is to hold the elections successfully. All parties have made some progress in implementing the consensus reached on 17 September 2020 and 27 May 2021. At the same time, the Somali elections still face many complex challenges. Some core pending issues may affect their progress.”

“After a long period of war in Somalia, national reconstruction cannot be accomplished overnight. The international community must be patient and encourage, in a step-by-step manner, greater political inclusivity in Somalia. Political stability and national unity in Somalia will help create favourable conditions for women’s equal, full and effective participation in political life. We have noted that differences among Somali leaders remain unresolved and are concerned about the possible impact on the political and security situation on the ground. On 18 September, the Security Council issued a statement to the press (SC/14641) calling on Somali leaders to exercise restraint, put the interests of the country and the people first, overcome their differences through dialogue and consultation, and preserve political security and stability.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed and Ms. Dini for their briefings. and I would like to express my condolences in connection with the victims of the two bombings in Somalia on 25 September. Women represent an important force in achieving lasting peace and building an inclusive society. In recent years the Somali Government has made great efforts to protect women’s rights and interests, combat gender-based violence and enhance women’s voices in political, economic and social life. China welcomes the Government’s commitment to guaranteeing women seats in the elections and the concrete measures taken to encourage women’s political participation, including reducing fees for women candidates, appointing goodwill ambassadors and setting up publicity committees.”

“We hope that the new authorities in Afghanistan will honour their promise, sever their ties with all terrorist groups, address both the root causes and the symptoms of this problem , and prevent the terrorist forces in Afghanistan from harming other parts of the world. Currently, almost half the population of Afghanistan lives below the poverty line and 14 million people are facing a food crisis. The situation concerning the coronavirus disease is severe. China will provide emergency humanitarian assistance and vaccines to the people of Afghanistan. We call on the international community to extend a helping hand in assisting the people of Afghanistan to overcome these difficulties and to support the United Nations in playing a greater role in the provision of humanitarian assistance.”

“It should push Afghanistan to eventually form a broad-based, inclusive political architecture that will implement moderate and steady internal and external policies, ensuring friendly relations with its neighbours and respecting the basic rights and interests of its minorities, women and children. There is a real risk that the forces of international terrorism can gather and grow in Afghanistan. The international community must continue to strengthen counter-terrorism cooperation and fight all the forces of terrorism, including the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham and Al-Qaida. The Taliban has promised many times that it will not allow any forces to use the Afghan territory to undermine the security interests of its neighbours. .”

“We call on those countries to learn profound lessons and effectively honour their responsibilities to rebuild Afghanistan, providing economic, livelihood and humanitarian assistance, instead of just shifting the blame and walking away. Afghanistan has already established an interim Government, but its internal and external policies have not yet been finalized. The international community should respect Afghanistan’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, uphold the principle of an Afghan-owned and Afghan-owned process, and support the Afghan people in choosing independently their path of development.”

At the same time, we wish to reiterate that Afghanistan is currently at a critical stage of transitioning from a situation of turmoil to one of stability. The war in Afghanistan has come to an end, but its problems persist. Power politics, military interference and so- called democratic transformation are the root causes of those problems. The hasty exit of the United States and its allies has created new problems, generating further uncertainty in the country.”

“Over the past decade, parties in South Sudan have worked hard to overcome various difficulties and challenges and have taken important steps to rebuild the country. The international community and the parties in South Sudan must draw lessons from history, look towards the future and work together to propel South Sudan forward on the path of lasting peace and sustainable development, and thereby contribute to the prosperity and development of the region.”

“China is concerned about the difficulties faced by humanitarian organizations in South Sudan and hopes that the parties concerned will provide favourable conditions for authorized humanitarian relief operations. China will continue to provide assistance within its capacity to South Sudan. The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) has strengthened communication and coordination with the Government of South Sudan, with the Mission’s freedom of movement improved and its capability to implement its mandate enhanced. China is one of the major troop-contributing countries to UNMISS and supports the Mission in playing a greater role in protecting civilians, promoting intercommunal reconciliation and assisting in the implementation of the peace agreement.”

“Although economic reform in South Sudan has achieved some results, many difficulties and challenges remain, including prominent food security issues, a severe coronavirus disease pandemic and a large gap in its humanitarian needs. We call on the international community to continue to provide humanitarian assistance and economic support to South Sudan in order to resolve its food security issues. The focus should be on increasing investment in agriculture, energy infrastructure, education and health care, among other fields, in order to help the people of South Sudan rebuild their homeland and stimulate their self- generated development momentum.”

“All parties concerned must therefore keep the overarching goal in mind, resolve differences through dialogue and consultation and work together in order to advance the peace process. Promoting intercommunal reconciliation is a key link in the security and stability in South Sudan. Resolving intercommunal conflict cannot be accomplished overnight. Multiple means — combining mediation, good offices and development — need to be adopted to eliminate root causes of conflict. The Government of South Sudan has made many efforts to that end, but has faced many difficulties. The international community should provide financial and technical support to help the Government of South Sudan to improve its capacity to protect civilians.”

“The international community should respect the leadership of South Sudan handling its own national affairs and support regional organizations, such as the African Union (AU) and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, and play an active role. The Security Council should heed the AU’s call to lift the sanctions against South Sudan as soon as possible in order to effectively improve the environment for peace and development in South Sudan. At present, peace and stability have been generally maintained in South Sudan, and the ceasefire is holding. However, intercommunal conflict and armed violence still occur from time to time. Recent divisions within the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-Army in Opposition have added uncertainty to the security situation. Peace is hard-won.”

“Recently, South Sudan’s leaders reaffirmed their commitments and reconstituted the Transitional National Legislative Assembly, with the appointment of the Speaker of the Assembly and other key positions. China welcomes those developments. The Revitalized Agreement provides the only policy framework for peace in South Sudan. All factions in South Sudan should maintain the current positive momentum and continue to advance preparations for the general elections and the building of the Necessary Unified Forces, among other tasks, so as to steadily promote the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement. The talks in Rome between the Government of South Sudan and the opposition have seen some difficulties. All parties should maintain a constructive attitude and sign the peace agreement as soon as possible.”

In connection with the Secretary-General’s latest report on South Sudan (S/2021/784), I would like to emphasize several points. In the three years since the signing of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan, the political process in South Sudan has made remarkable progress.”

“The current situation in the Sudan, especially in Darfur, has improved significantly, and lifting these sanctions as soon as possible is consistent with the prevailing dynamics on the ground. The benchmarks set by the Security Council should be clear, realistic, feasible and in line with the realities of the Sudan. China is ready to play a constructive role to this end. The Sudan is at a critical stage in its transition from peacekeeping to peacebuilding. At last week’s Security Council open debate, Secretary-General Guterres noted that “[p]eacekeeping missions can help put the country on the right track, but only national stakeholders can keep it there over the long term” (S/PV.8851, p. 2). The Sudanese authorities should continue to play a leading role, and all stakeholders should remain united.”

“In June this year, the International Monetary Fund announced that the Sudan had reached the decision point of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative. The international community, especially developed countries, should effectively fulfil their debt-relief and debt-suspension commitments, support Sudan’s development in infrastructure, agriculture and other key sectors, and help the country achieve universal education and poverty eradication to eliminate the root causes of conflict, thereby laying a solid foundation for lasting peace in the Sudan. In the same breath, I would like to underscore that resolution 2562 (2021) calls for clear and feasible key benchmarks for adjusting the sanctions measures in respect of the Sudan.”

“Recently, precipitated by such factors as the coronavirus disease and natural disasters, sporadic security incidents and intercommunal clashes have occurred in Darfur. The international community should lend strong support to help the Sudan enhance its security capacity-building to better protect civilians in Darfur. Thirdly, it is imperative to identify the right priorities for economic development and national reconstruction. The Sudanese Government has been working hard to address its challenges, maintain macroeconomic stability and reform its economy. However, the country’s economic woes remain dire, with acute shortages of water and electricity and the scarcity of daily necessities.”

“UNITAMS should, as it has been mandated to do, closely align its activities with the strategic priorities of the Sudan and improve the relevance and effectiveness of its work on an ongoing basis. Secondly, efforts must be ramped up to keep Darfur stable. The situation in Darfur has markedly improved over the last few years. Following the exit of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, the Sovereignty Council in the Sudan and the Transitional Government have launched a raft of initiatives including establishing multiple mechanisms, such as the Joint High Military Committee for Security Arrangements, the Permanent Ceasefire Committee and sectoral and area committees, to implement the security arrangements under the Peace Agreement more quickly.”

“What they have achieved is plainly visible to all. China commends the framework of comprehensive political settlement proposed by the Sudanese authorities, which is conducive to easing the tensions between the parties and promoting the implementation of the Peace Agreement. We hope the Sudan will make fresh headway in, inter alia, forming the Transitional Legislative Council and preparing for general elections. China supports the Government in carrying on peace talks with the non-signatories to the Peace Agreement and urges the latter to join the peace process as soon as possible. China is pleased to see that the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan (UNITAMS) has been bolstering its configuration and enhancing its capacity for mandate implementation.”

I also listened carefully to Ms. Alkarib’s briefing. Positive progress has been made in the Sudan’s political process. This is inextricably attributable to the joint efforts of the Sudanese authorities and other stakeholders. We need to build on this encouraging momentum and keep injecting fresh impetus into the Sudan’s peace process and development. In this context, I would like to make the following points. First, we must take a multipronged approach to advance the political process. The Sudanese Government has invested a deal of effort in the implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement.”

At present, the humanitarian situation in Libya is grim. The negative impact of the Security Council sanctions on civilians should be reduced. The Council should improve communication with the Libyan Government and explore the use of humanitarian exemptions and other means in order to use Libya’s frozen assets for national reconstruction and to improve people’s lives. We hope that the Sanctions Committee will earnestly pay attention to the Libyan Government’s concern about the loss of frozen assets and come up with a solution as soon as possible. Libya is in a crucial period of national reconstruction.”

China attaches importance to the key role played by UNSMIL in ensuring peace and stability and supports the extension of its mandate. It is hoped that UNSMIL will fully respect Libya’s sovereignty and the wishes of the people, pursuant to the Council’s mandate, support the Libyan-owned and -led political process and provide support for the preparation of general elections and national reconstruction.”

“With the promotion of all parties, especially the 5+5 Joint Military Commission, positive results have been achieved in deploying local ceasefire monitors and opening the coastal road. The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) should deploy the ceasefire monitoring component as soon as possible and encourage regional organizations, such as the African Union (AU) and the League of Arab States, to actively participate. The withdrawal of foreign forces and mercenaries is the core issue for security in Libya. Any plan to that end should ensure a balanced and orderly withdrawal, so as to avoid risks and challenges for domestic stability and guarantee the security of neighbouring countries.”

China supports the continued key role of the countries of the region, welcomes Algeria’s convening of a meeting of Foreign Ministers of neighbouring countries and looks forward to injecting new impetus into Libya’s political process. Maintaining the ceasefire and achieving security and stability are the cornerstone of Libya’s national reconstruction.”

“For many years, China has actively supported the reconstruction and development of post-conflict countries, especially developing countries, and has provided support in the areas of economic development, education, health and infrastructure, while focusing on helping them improve their independent development capacity and achieve a greater level of self-reliance and self-sufficiency. The China-United Nations Peace and Development Fund has actively supported the countries concerned in undertaking collaborative projects, countering terrorism, peacekeeping, good offices mediation and sustainable development. China stands willing and ready to work with the international community to continue its positive contribution to helping post-conflict countries in achieving peace and sustainable development.”

“In designing the transition plan of a United Nations peacekeeping operation, we should fully heed and respect the wishes of the country so as to ensure convergence and complementarity with the national development strategies and priorities independently formulated and decided by the countries themselves. It is also essential to adapt in a timely manner to the evolving situation on the ground in those countries. In the past 30 years, the United Nations has organized and deployed several missions in Haiti and has made a significant investment in there. Yet many problems pertaining to State governance remain in that country, which is disappointing. The current model for Haiti is unsustainable.
