“China encourages regional organizations, such as the Economic Community of West African States, to strengthen communication with Mali, in order to create synergies. Secondly, China has taken note of the fact that MINUSMA is carrying out the withdrawal operation, and the Secretariat is formulating a withdrawal plan. The Mission’s camps are scattered across the country, with a large number of personnel and equipment making the withdrawal task a heavy one. MINUSMA and the United Nations Secretariat should strictly implement the mandate given by the Security Council, strengthen communication with the Malian Government and troop-contributing countries, and refine the plans for the handover of camps, withdrawal of personnel and the liquidation of assets, with a view to implementing them carefully.”

“First, there is a need to continue to support the political peace process in Mali. Secretary-General Guterres recently submitted a proposal to the Security Council for a plan on the transfer of MINUSMA’s tasks . The United Nations should continue to communicate fully with the Malian authorities and all other relevant parties. Any relevant plan should respect the will of Mali and be conducive to maintaining the stability of the country. At present, as it is preparing for its January elections, promoting political reform and implementing the Peace Agreement, Mali is facing many difficulties. The international community should respect Mali’s sovereignty and ownership and provide constructive support based on Mali’s actual needs.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Wane for his briefing. I also listened carefully to the statement by the representative of the non-governmental organization. We welcome the participation of the Permanent Representative of Mali in today’s meeting. As pointed out by Special Representative Wane, the political peace process in Mali is at a critical juncture. The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) is in the process of withdrawing from Mali. The international community should put the overall peace and stability of Mali and the region first, help Mali address challenges of all kinds and facilitate deeper cooperation between the United Nations and Mali in the new context. I would like to highlight the following points.”

“The international community should assist Libya in coordinating efforts to promote political reconciliation and economic reconstruction and provide more support for Libya’s foreign trade and investments. All parties in Libya should resolve their differences in the management and income distribution of the petroleum industry and ensure that all people truly benefit from the dividends of development. The frozen assets of the Libyan Government are the collective property of the Libyan people and should be used for national reconstruction and development. The Security Council and the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011) concerning Libya should attach great importance to the issue of the loss of frozen assets and take practical measures to address it.”

“The international community should adhere to the principle of Libyan-led and Libya-owned, respect the voices of all parties involved, accommodate the reasonable concerns of all parties instead of blindly applying external pressure and imposing solutions. Recent intense clashes in Tripoli have resulted in casualties. China calls on all parties in Libya to exercise restraint, avoid escalating actions and maintain the ceasefire.

China also supports Special Representative of the Secretary- General Bathily in strengthening communication with all parties in Libya to form synergy. The Libyan issue is the result of multiple factors such as politics, history and ethnicity, and external pressure and interference are important sources of instability. Recently, relevant parties in Libya and regional organizations, such as the League of Arab States, have repeatedly called for respect for Libya’s sovereignty and ownership on the Libyan issue.”

“The international community should heed the calls of the countries of the region, support the good offices of regional countries and organizations, and avoid externally imposed programmes, sanctions and pressure. The Council should encourage the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan to play an active role in the issue of the Sudan. China believes that the Sudanese people have the ability and wisdom to overcome their current difficulties and challenges and end the fighting as soon as possible. China stands ready to work with the international community to support the efforts of the Sudanese people.”

“The situation in Darfur has been seriously affected by the conflict in the Sudan. The international community should provide constructive support to ease the situation and avoid aggravating conflicts. The Sudan is an important country in the Horn of Africa. An early ceasefire and a return to normalcy and order is in the fundamental interests of the Sudan and the countries in the region. Recently, the need to safeguard the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the Sudan and oppose external interference in its internal affairs it has been repeatedly stressed in the African Union and IGAD and at the summit of the neighbouring States of the Sudan.”

China calls on the international community to help the Sudan and neighbouring countries to improve their humanitarian response capacity, expand the scale of relief and support regional humanitarian initiatives. At the same time, humanitarian support to the Sudan should respect the sovereignty and ownership of the Sudan and follow the United Nations guiding principles of humanitarian emergency assistance. The Sudanese parties should also comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law and facilitate the provision of humanitarian relief.”

Last month, Egypt hosted a summit of the neighbouring States of the Sudan, and Chad just held a follow-up ministerial meeting this week. China expects regional countries and organizations to strengthen their coordination with the parties in the Sudan and to play a key role in facilitating peace talks.

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Assistant Secretary-General Pobee and Director Wosornu for their briefings and welcome the Permanent Representative of the Sudan to today’s meeting. The armed conflict in the Sudan has been going on for nearly four months, with increasing civilian casualties and a worsening humanitarian situation. As a good friend and partner of the Sudan, China deeply deplores those developments. At the same time, diplomatic efforts to reach a political solution to the conflict in the Sudan have continued. China hopes that the parties concerned will, in the interest of the country and its people, establish a ceasefire and put an end to the fighting as soon as possible, promote de-escalation and resolve their disputes through dialogue, so as to create the conditions for peace and reconciliation.”

“China hopes that the United Nations and international partners will support the efforts of regional organizations and cooperate with them. We encourage the regional organizations to strengthen coordination with all parties in the Sudan and form synergies to promote an early de-escalation of the situation and avoid greater spillover effects. Recently, the humanitarian situation in Darfur has deteriorated. The Darfur issue goes back a long way and involves such complex factors as intercommunal clashes, competition for resources and external interference. The conflict in the Sudan has made the situation in Darfur even more fragile.”

“Although the two parties to the conflict have reached multiple temporary ceasefires, fighting has never stopped. The recent humanitarian tragedy in the Omdurman region is the last thing that any party would wish to see. China hopes that all parties in the Sudan will prioritize the peace of the country and the well-being of its people, resolve differences through dialogue and negotiation, cease hostilities and end fighting at an early date, in order to avoid a greater humanitarian crisis. China supports the efforts of regional organizations and the countries concerned in promoting peace talks. We note that the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development have convened a number of meetings on the issue of the Sudan in order to come up with proposed solutions. Egypt has also just hosted a summit of the Sudan’s neighbours.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): I have listened attentively to the briefing by Prosecutor Karim Khan and welcome the Permanent Representative of the Sudan to today’s meeting. China’s position on the International Criminal Court (ICC) has been consistent. The Court’s current cases relating to the Sudan were referred to the ICC in 2005. We hope that in its work the Court will continue to strictly comply with the principle of complementary jurisdictions, as stipulated in the Rome Statute, fully respect the judicial sovereignty and legitimate opinions of the country concerned and avoid politicization and double standards. Some colleagues have mentioned the current situation in the Sudan, and I wish to briefly state China’s position. The armed conflict in the Sudan has persisted for three months.”

“The relations between the Mission and the host country have been a significant issue for some time now. China encourages MONUSCO to strengthen its communication with the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, maintain mutual trust and cooperation and ensure that it fulfils its mandate smoothly and effectively. MONUSCO has recently had multiple exchanges with the Government regarding the transition plan. The Security Council should give due regard to the needs of the Government and its people, factor in the latest developments in the eastern part of the country and formulate MONUSCO’s mandate and future transitional arrangements in a rational, science-based manner. In that regard, China looks forward to the Secretary-General’s report to the Council next month and to his pragmatic and reasonable proposal.”

“The meeting forged consensus among the countries of the region on maintaining stability in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, strengthening common security and deepening regional cooperation, and China appreciates those efforts. We expect those countries to see the meeting as an opportunity, bolster the roles of the Nairobi and Luanda processes, support respect for one another’s concerns and resolve differences through dialogue and consultation. China expects Xia Huang, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes region, to redouble his efforts in using his diplomatic good offices.

“The Democratic Republic of the Congo still faces many difficulties and challenges in the area of electoral preparation. We call on the international community and the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) to respect the country’s sovereignty and ownership and provide more logistical and financial support. Thirdly, the level of peace and stability in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo is linked to overall security in the Great Lakes region. Last month in Burundi, leaders of the Great Lakes region held a summit marking the tenth anniversary of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework Agreement for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes Region.”

“We note the efforts being made by the East African Community, the Southern African Development Community and Angola to maintain the security of the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and hope that the relevant regional operations will be better coordinated so as to effectively prevent the situation from deteriorating further. Secondly, the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s general elections at the end of the year will have a bearing on the country’s development and stability. China supports the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in its efforts to make progress in areas such as electoral legislation and voter registration, and expects all the parties to resolve their differences through dialogue and consultation in order to ensure that the general elections are held smoothly.”

“First, China strongly condemns the armed groups and their recent attacks on the internally displaced persons camps and schools at the border with Uganda. We are concerned about the persistent threat posed by armed groups to the stability in the eastern the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In May, Secretary-General Guterres, together with regional and national leaders, attended a summit in the Great Lakes region and called for the armed groups to cease hostilities. China urges the armed groups to immediately cease their violent activities, withdraw from the occupied areas and join the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process. We commend the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and Burundi for their joint operations to address common threats.”

I welcome the Permanent Representatives of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda to this meeting. China has consistently supported the Democratic Republic of the Congo in its efforts to maintain peace and stability and to promote development and revitalization. In May, President Tshisekedi Tshilombo was invited to visit China, injecting new impetus for China-Democratic Republic of the Congo cooperation. Currently, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is at a critical juncture in its political and peace processes. The international community should provide greater support and assistance. I wish to emphasize the following points.”

“China has also actively worked with Sierra Leone and Senegal, among other countries, in such areas as fishing-harbour construction and agriculture and fishing processing, for the benefit of local communities. China is ready to work with the international community to jointly support the region and develop the blue economy and exploit maritime resources, thus turning the Gulf of Guinea into a gulf of peace, stability and prosperity.”

“With a greater sense of urgency, the international community should support the development of coastal States, help guarantee and improve people’s livelihoods, and enhance the sense of gain and security of coastal communities, in particular among the youth. Over the years, China has engaged in pragmatic cooperation with countries in West Africa and the Gulf of Guinea. In December last year and in January this year, the container terminals in the port of Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire and Lekki sea port in Nigeria, both constructed by Chinese contractors, were completed and entered into operation one after the other, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs locally.”

“In recent years, China has provided many batches of anti-piracy materials and equipment to countries of the region and conducted joint anti-piracy exercises. China is willing to draw on existing success stories and modalities from the international community and, on the basis of adequate consultation with coastal States, explore cooperation modalities, such as joint law enforcement and joint escort, in order to sustain a robust suppression and deterrence of piracy. Thirdly, due attention must be paid to the root causes of piracy. The report of the Secretary-General issued last November (S/2022/818) called attention to the employment and livelihood issues of coastal communities in the Gulf of Guinea and the importance of eliminating the breeding grounds for piracy.”

“The Security Council adopted resolution 2634 (2022) in May last year, spotlighting support for regional anti-piracy capacity- building. The international community needs to help coastal States strengthen capacity-building within their maritime law enforcement agencies and navies and improve the efficiency of anti-piracy operations. The United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel, the United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the International Maritime Organization, INTERPOL and other agencies should act according to their respective mandates and expertise to scale up their support in such focused areas as information-sharing, early warning, maritime search and rescue and logistical support.”

“It is essential to fully operationalize the Yaoundé Code of Conduct, with a focus on addressing the financial, logistical and technical issues involved in building the maritime security architecture and thus providing effective institutional guarantees for regional anti-piracy operations. Combating piracy involves the maritime sovereignty of coastal States and bear on their internal affairs, including judicial systems. Countries outside the region should respect the sovereignty and leadership of the coastal States and play a constructive role in regional anti-piracy operations. Secondly, we must step up anti-piracy capacity- building. The coastal States in the Gulf of Guinea are at the forefront of the fight against piracy.”
2023-06-21 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9355 (2023) · source
“In that regard, I would like to emphasize the following three points. First, we must deepen regional cooperation. The Gulf of Guinea covers a vast sea area, involving a large number of countries, and piracy in that region is highly mobile and secretive. Sporadic incidents of piracy have occurred very recently. Stepping up regional cooperation is imperative for an effective response. The countries of the region should embrace the concept of common maritime security, leverage the leading role of regional organizations such as ECCAS, ECOWAS and the Gulf of Guinea Commission, and advance the development of regional anti-piracy strategies.”

“Over the past 10 years, the countries of the region have worked together to build the Yaoundé maritime security architecture, step up anti-piracy escort and patrol, strength legislation and accountability and conduct joint law enforcement. Recent years have seen a year-on-year decline in piracy incidents and a continued improvement in the maritime security environment of the Gulf of Guinea. China appreciates the countries of the region for their efforts. The Gulf of Guinea is a shipping route of global importance. Safeguarding its maritime security is the shared responsibility of the countries of the region and the international community, at large. China encourages the Security Council to duly attend to the difficulties and challenges faced by coastal countries and to bring more attention and input to bear on this matter.”

China welcomes Ghana’s initiative to convene this meeting. The Gulf of Guinea is the shared maritime home of the countries of the region. A decade ago, the regional leaders signed the Yaoundé Code of Conduct in order to build consensus on maintaining common maritime security.”

“Recently, China has provided emergency food aid, including rice, to the country, benefiting 10 States and three administrative areas in South Sudan and supporting returnees and refugees affected by the conflict in the Sudan.

“Recently, South Sudan has been experiencing dire economic conditions, with a drastic devaluation of its currency, high inflation and a severe food shortage. As of now, 4 million people are displaced, and 9 million are in need of humanitarian assistance. The conflict in the Sudan has also exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan. The international community, especially developed countries, should help the people of South Sudan address their daily difficulties and increase humanitarian and development support with no political strings attached. The International Monetary Fund and other international financial institutions should continue to increase their financial support to South Sudan. China has always attached great importance to the difficulties faced by South Sudan and actively provided assistance within its capacity.”

“China encourages the South Sudanese Government to strengthen conflict prevention and promote national reconciliation. At the same time, enhancing the Government’s security capacity is key to improving the security situation. South Sudan has repeatedly stressed that the Security Council’s arms embargo imposed on it has had a serious negative impact on the maintenance of national security. Countries of the region have also repeatedly called for the lifting of unjustified sanctions against South Sudan. The Security Council should listen carefully to the voices of South Sudan and the international community and lift the relevant sanctions without delay. The economy and people’s livelihoods are important factors affecting South Sudan’s peace and stability.”

We welcome establishment of a joint task force by the United Nations, the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, at the request of the South Sudanese Government. We look forward to close communication between the task force and South Sudan to advance such key processes as Constitution-making and general elections. The reporting period witnessed reduced intercommunal violence in South Sudan. The efforts of the Government of South Sudan to that end should be recognized. That having been said, in the Upper Nile and Jonglei States and other places, where attacks on internally displaced persons camps and humanitarian vehicles have occurred from time to time, the security situation remains fragile.”

Facing the tensions and differences in the implementation of the Agreement, all parties should prioritize the country’s long-term development in the interests of the people and find solutions through dialogue and consultation so as to maintain overall stability and unity. South Sudan is the youngest country in the world. The international community should be more patient, as needed, with the country’s political process and, in particular, respect South Sudan’s sovereignty and ownership, and it should avoid external pressure and interference that could aggravate tensions.”

Those requests have received a positive response from countries of the region. On 13 June, the African Union Peace and Security Council reiterated the request for lifting the arms embargo on the Central African Republic.

The security and humanitarian situation in the Central African Republic’s border areas with neighbouring countries such as Chad and the Sudan needs major attention. The international community, in a targeted manner, should help the Central African armed forces enhance security capacity-building and guard against the threat of armed groups. We must support the Central African Republic in bolstering border control with its neighbours and in safeguarding common security. As mandated by the Security Council, MINUSCA should support the security forces of the Central African Republic in enhancing deployment and protecting civilians.”

“The international community should support Libya’s reconstruction, help the country develop its economy and improve its people’s livelihoods. When implementing the Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2023–2025, the United Nations should align it with Libya’s key areas for cooperation and use United Nations development resources to generate real benefits. All parties in Libya should properly resolve their differences over the management of the oil industry and the distribution of oil revenues and ensure that the oil revenues benefit the Libyan people. The Libyan Government has long-standing concerns over losses resulting from the frozen assets. The Security Council and the Libya Sanctions Committee should take this matter very seriously and craft substantive measures to address it.”

“In the current situation, it is imperative to properly address the withdrawal of external armed forces and mercenaries and ensure that the relevant processes can proceed in a smooth and orderly manner to avoid any fallout on Libya’s domestic stability and the security of the neighbouring countries Thirdly, there should be persistence in promoting reconstruction and development. In the recent period, Libya’s oil production and export have steadily resumed, along with a positive momentum for development. Development and reconstruction will generate economic dividends, improve livelihoods, work as an important catalyst and provide cohesion in maintaining peace and political stability, strengthening national identity and promoting social unity.”

At the same time, militia fighting, abduction, assaults and other security incidents still occur from time to time in Libya. The spillover effects of the situation in the Sudan cannot be ignored either. All parties in Libya must maintain the hard-won ceasefire and avoid actions that could cause escalations of the situation.”

China commends the 5+5 Joint Military Commission for holding multiple meetings this year to discuss such issues as unification of security institutions and establishment of a ceasefire mechanism.”
