“The Secretary-General’s report calls for tackling the root causes of conflict from the perspective of sustainable development in order to find the key to bringing the region out of its security dilemma. That is an area that merits our close attention and further discussions.”

“As far as African and other developing countries are concerned, that is the biggest external risk factor. Developed countries and international financial institutions must make real efforts to genuinely understand the difficulties faced by countries in the region, deliver on their development assistance commitments and maintain the current level of humanitarian funding to help countries of the region tide over their difficulties. Countries in the region must also be supported, on the basis of their national realities and development needs, to bolster their capacities in poverty reduction, employment, trade and infrastructure, in order to make their development more resilient.”

“The developed countries in particular should honour their commitments as soon as possible, so that countries in the region can access much-needed financial, technological and capacity-building support. Thirdly, we need to help countries in the region to prevent and defuse conflict-related risks. According to the Secretary-General’s report, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Burundi and the Republic of the Congo are facing a wide range of energy, food, humanitarian and fiscal risks, intensifying the stress factors affecting social stability. Recently, a major economy has adopted irresponsible financial and monetary policies, passing on economic and financial risks beyond its borders, while milking developing countries for their wealth in a cyclical manner.”

“The spillovers from the situation in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and the turmoil in the Sudan are worrisome, as they are exacerbating the humanitarian and refugee crisis in the region. We support ECCAS in upholding common security and enhancing collective security cooperation. The international community should support the capacity-building of regional counter-terrorism forces and increase its contribution to maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea. Efforts must also be made to encourage countries in the region to build greater trust and overcome differences among them. China takes very seriously the challenges posed by climate change to the region. The international community should provide concrete assistance in that regard.”

“China believes that the international community should arrive at an objective assessment of human rights work based on the realities of the countries concerned and the needs of their people. Human rights must not be used as an empty slogan, much less as an instrument to interfere in the internal affairs of the countries concerned. Secondly, we need to support regional organizations in their response to security challenges. At the ECCAS summit held in February this year, important consensus was reached in areas such as how to deepen regional security cooperation and address common challenges. Nevertheless, illegal armed groups, terrorists and piracy in the Gulf of Guinea remain rampant.”

“The ongoing situation across multiple African countries proves that solutions to African issues must be found from within. The vigorous efforts by the Central African countries deserve full recognition. The international community should respect the sovereignty and ownership of the countries concerned and pitch in to help to maintain regional political stability, with positive energy. Meddling from outside or imposing unilateral sanctions at every turn will not lead to a solution but only aggravate tensions. We hope that the Special Representative will, in strict accordance with the Council’s mandate, provide constructive support to the countries concerned in their electoral preparations and dialogue processes.”

“China stands ready to join the rest of the international community to increase our input and commitments in the region by rendering more constructive support. In the light of the Secretary- General’s report (S/2023/389), allow me to make the following three observations. First, we need to support countries in the region in their efforts to maintain political stability. Since the end of last year, Equatorial Guinea has held a presidential election and formed a new Government. Cameroon has held elections for positions in its Senate, made progress in decentralization and national reconciliation and implemented economic and social development programmes at the local level. Chad relaunched its national dialogue. Gabon, Rwanda and other countries are actively preparing for their general elections.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to start by thanking Mr. Abdou Abarry, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and Mr. Gilberto da Piedade Veríssimo, President of the Commission of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), for their briefings. I also listened carefully to the presentation by Ms. Marie Tamoifo. China is a good friend and partner of the Central African countries and a staunch supporter of peace and development in the region. Recently, China invited the leaders of Gabon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and other countries of the region to visit China, injecting a strong impetus into the friendship and cooperation between us.”

“China supports the Organization’s efforts to communicate and coordinate with the Sudan and its neighbouring countries on humanitarian issues in order to help the countries of the region with their response capacity and to ease humanitarian pressure. The mandate of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan (UNITAMS) will expire in early June. In view of the current situation, UNITAMS will face considerable challenges in its future work. The Council’s original intention in authorizing the Mission was to assist the Sudan, at the country’s request, with the completion of its political transition. The opinions of the Sudan are therefore fundamentally important in the discussion on the Mission’s mandate. China encourages the penholders to stay in close touch with the Sudan and fully respect its views.”

“Since the outbreak of the conflict, the already fragile economic and humanitarian situation in the Sudan and its neighbouring countries has become even more worrisome. According to the data from the United Nations, as a result of the conflict, more than 700,000 people have become internally displaced persons, more than 200,000 people have fled to neighbouring countries and some 25 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance. China commends the Sudan’s neighbours, which, despite their difficulties, are hosting a large number of Sudanese refugees, and we call on the international community to step up assistance to the Sudan and its neighbours in order to alleviate the spillover impact on the region.”

“We call on the United Nations and international partners to support and cooperate with regional organizations with a view to providing the necessary time and space for regional mediation. The developments in the Sudan have once again demonstrated that a solution to the question of the Sudan can be found only from within the country. External interference or unilateral sanctions will not solve the problem but will instead intensify tensions and aggravate the political and social crises. The international community needs to draw the appropriate lesson. Relevant parties should seriously reflect on the current situation and refrain from expanding unilateral sanctions and thus continuing down the wrong path.”

“China notes that the two parties to the conflict have reached a temporary ceasefire on multiple occasions and signed an agreement for a short-term ceasefire and humanitarian arrangement in Jeddah last week. The pressing task is to ensure the implementation of commitments to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure and to facilitate and provide security guarantees for humanitarian assistance and evacuation. We hope that the parties to the conflict will maintain the momentum on dialogue, strive for a more durable ceasefire and political arrangement and bring the country’s development back on track. China commends and supports the League of Arab States, AU, IGAD and other regional organizations and relevant countries for their key role in promoting peace talks.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Special Representative Perthes and the representatives of the African Union (AU) and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) for their briefings. I welcome the Permanent Representative of the Sudan at this meeting. Armed conflict in the Sudan has been going on for over a month, with fighting raging in many places and casualties on the rise, leading to a worsening humanitarian situation. China is deeply saddened. As a good friend and partner of the Sudan, we sincerely hope that the two parties to the conflict will prioritize the Sudan’s peace and the well-being of its population, end hostilities as soon as possible and resolve their differences through dialogue and negotiation.”

“China has worked with Mali on agriculture technology, built solar power plants for Burkina Faso and provided emergency food aid and medical supplies to Mauritania, the Niger and Chad, bringing tangible help to the countries in the region to improve their livelihoods and promote nationally owned development. China stands ready to work with the international community to provide more support to regional countries in the areas of poverty reduction, food security, agriculture, livestock production, infrastructure, construction and development financing. And we hope that the Office of the Special Coordinator for Development in the Sahel and other United Nations agencies will play a greater role in mobilizing resources for development.”

“According to a report by the United Nations Development Programme issued in February, destitution, unemployment and the lack of livelihoods were among the main drivers for people in the Sahel to join violent extremist groups. To root out terrorism in the Sahel, military and security means alone are not sufficient. We must tackle both the symptoms and the root causes. The international community should support the development of the Sahel with a greater sense of urgency, give the development agenda more prominence, guarantee and improve people’s livelihoods, and protect and promote human rights through development. Only in doing so can people in the region acquire greater prosperity and security. Promoting sustainable development is a key objective for the practical cooperation between China and countries in the region.”

“In response to the needs of regional counter-terrorism operations in terms of equipment, logistics and funding, among other needs, the European Union and other major donors should maintain their level of assistance, while the United Nations and the Security Council should actively explore new ways to provide support. Some colleagues referred to the issue of human rights. In our view, counter-terrorism operations are fundamentally about safeguarding human security. Human rights should surely be respected and protected. However, human rights should not be used as a political tool to interfere with counter-terrorism operations, much less coupled with the provision of counter- terrorism support. Thirdly, by deepening systemic development, we can address the heart of the problem.”

“Meanwhile, violent and terrorist activities in the region are still on the rise, with terrorist groups attacking armed forces, ransacking villages and blocking roads, causing massive civilian casualties and displacements. The situation on the ground is dire. The international community should give top priority to supporting regional efforts to combat terrorism and maintain stability; focus on helping countries of the region strengthen security sector capacity-building and respect their right to engage in independent external security cooperation.”

“China looks forward to the United Nations-African Union joint assessment coming up with practical and viable recommendations as soon as possible, thus injecting new momentum into regional cooperation. Secondly, combating terrorism is a top priority. Recently, the Group of Five for the Sahel (G-5 Sahel) agreed to restructure its joint force. The Economic Community of West African States announced the operationalization of its standby force. Countries, including Mali, Burkina Faso and the Niger, are actively carrying out counter-terrorism operations and deepening their cooperation in the security sector. Those efforts deserve to be commended.”

“The countries of the region should uphold the concept of common security and common development and restore and strengthen regional cooperation on the basis of a balanced accommodation of the concerns of all parties. The international community should respect the sovereignty and ownership of the countries of the region and provide constructive support for deepening regional cooperation. The international community should draw lessons from the situation in the Sudan, maintain an appropriate level of patience with regard to the political transition of certain countries, provide more support and encouragement and safeguard overall regional stability.”

“As pointed out in the Secret General’s report (S/2023/328), maintaining security and stability in the Sahel is of major strategic importance to the consolidation of peace and development in the subregion and the African continent The international community and the Security Council should pay more attention to the difficulties and needs faced by the countries of the region and provide help and support that is more fit for purpose. First, interregional solidarity and cooperation is the only way to address common challenges. The Sahel faces multiple threats, such as terrorism, humanitarian crisis, poverty, underdevelopment and climate change. In February, countries in the Sahel convened a special summit to reaffirm the need to strengthen regional solidarity and to pool together to address challenges. China welcomes that initiative.”

Recently, countries in the Sahel, in the face of the complex and difficult international and regional situation, have worked hard to maintain common security, restore economic and social development and strengthen regional solidarity and cooperation, with some positive results.”

“We also expect the Sudan, South Sudan and other relevant parties to facilitate the UNISFA’s implementation of its mandate. As a troop-contributing country to UNISFA, China will continue to resolutely fulfil its peace mission and support the work of UNISFA with concrete actions to contribute to security and stability in the region.”

“China welcomes the development and implementation of joint programmes in Abyei by UNISFA and the United Nations country teams in the Sudan and South Sudan and the implementation of a number of quick-impact projects related to people’s livelihoods and well-being. China commends UNISFA for its unremitting efforts to maintain peace and stability in Abyei and welcomes the upcoming completion of its reconfiguration and the efforts of relevant troop-contributing countries in that regard. In order for UNISFA to make progress in its work, the close cooperation of the Sudan, South Sudan and other parties is needed. We encourage UNISFA to strengthen strategic communication with all relevant parties and deepen the local population’s understanding of and trust in peacekeeping operations.”

“We welcome President Kiir’s efforts to convene relevant community leaders to resolve disputes and encourage the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) to continue to support the efforts of regional countries and organizations in promoting intercommunal reconciliation and maintaining security in the region. While paying attention to the situation in the Sudan, the international community should continue to focus on addressing the humanitarian and development challenges faced by the people in Abyei; strengthen basic material assistance such as food and medicine; and provide development support such as education, vocational training and agricultural and pastoral guidance.”

“China appreciates the sustained efforts by the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel to resolve the related issues of Abyei and supports its continued role as the main channel of good offices. Intercommunal relations are the key to achieving long-term peace and stability in Abyei. In the recent period, intercommunal conflicts in the region caused casualties, damages to houses and displacement. China is concerned about that and calls on relevant communities to cease hostilities and maintain dialogue and engagement to achieve harmonious coexistence.”

“That laid a good political foundation for the ultimate settlement of Abyei-related issues, which China considers very encouraging. Regrettably, the current instability in the Sudan may have an impact on and complicate the resolution of the issues. We wish to see an early ceasefire in the Sudan and believe that the Sudan and South Sudan can maintain the momentum of dialogue and cooperation and implement the consensus already reached. We hope that the Abyei-related issues will not be affected by the situation in the Sudan and that there will continue to be favourable conditions for the settlement of the final status of Abyei for the parties concerned.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Assistant Secretary-General Pobee and Special Envoy Tetteh for their briefings. I welcome the Permanent Representatives of the Sudan and South Sudan to the meeting today. The Sudan and South Sudan are parties to the issues related to Abyei. As such, a political solution in that connection cannot be achieved without dialogue and cooperation between the two sides. In the previous period, bilateral relations between the Sudan and South Sudan improved. The leaders of the two countries maintained close communication on the situation in Abyei, considered the formation of a joint security force along the border and made positive remarks on addressing the final status of Abyei.”

“All parties should also cease any political interference, negotiate to resolve their differences in managing the oil industry and its revenue distribution and ensure that Libya continues to manage its own oil industry and that more of its oil revenues benefit its people. Lastly, the Libyan Government has long been concerned about the loss of the use of its frozen assets. The Security Council and the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011) concerning Libya should pay more attention to that and take practical measures.”

“With the protracted fighting and turmoil, national reconciliation is a significant key to building consensus on peace and reconstruction and on eliminating the root causes of conflict. China supports the African Union in taking the lead on convening a national reconciliation conference with Libyan parties and looks forward to its success. Thirdly, we need to accelerate development and reconstruction. Libya recently resumed exporting oil, with increased momentum. All parties should make compromises with a view to advancing the country’s overall development and make additional efforts in the areas of fiscal management, public services and the improvement of people’s livelihoods. The international community should participate actively in Libya’s reconstruction and provide further support for its economic recovery and development.”

“Secondly, we need to consolidate the peace and security mechanism. Under the chairmanship of Mr. Bathily, the 5+5 Joint Military Commission has met frequently in Tripoli and Benghazi, and the parties have actively discussed the establishment of a unified security institution. Libya and its neighbouring countries have also agreed on establishing a coordination mechanism, all of which China welcomes. At the same time, we continue to see armed clashes and security incidents in Libya. All parties should fulfil their ceasefire commitments, increase their coordination, ensure a balanced and coordinated withdrawal of foreign fighters and mercenaries and avoid any action that might have a negative impact on Libyan stability and regional security.”

“In the current situation, there is a consensus among all the parties on the need to break the political deadlock, and synergy must be created to that end. All the Libyan parties should continue to build on their previous efforts to conduct dialogue, resolve their differences and create the conditions necessary for the holding of general elections as soon as possible. The international community should follow the principle of ensuring that the processes are Libyan-led and Libyan- owned and should address the legitimate concerns of all parties, give the political process constructive support and avoid imposing external solutions. China supports Special Representative Bathily in leading the United Nations Support Mission in Libya to continue to step up its good offices and mediation efforts to facilitate the intra-Libyan dialogue.”

In the light of the Secretary-General’s report (S/2023/248), I would like to emphasize the following points. First, we need to build synergy to advance the political process. The House of Representatives and the High State Council recently announced the establishment of a joint 6+6 committee and held a meeting to discuss the constitutional framework for the holding of elections. Special Representative Bathily has been in extensive communication with the Libyan parties, while Egypt and other countries of the region have made determined efforts through their good offices and mediation work.”

The Chinese-Congolese cooperation project has achieved remarkable results in supporting local industry development, expanding employment and improving people’s livelihoods, and has been welcomed by the Government and the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. China would like to work with the international community to make further contributions to establishing peace in, and supporting the development of, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

“The deteriorating situation in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo has led to the displacement of 6 million people, resulting in enormous humanitarian needs. The international community should provide adequate resources for the humanitarian response plan for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The relevant United Nations agencies and the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo should work together to maximize the benefits of humanitarian assistance and ensure the safe and smooth delivery of supplies. While meeting short-term humanitarian needs, we should also help the Democratic Republic of the Congo strengthen its capacity for independent development, based on its actual needs.”

“Given the current circumstances, MONUSCO should fulfil its core mandates to protect civilians and support the building of Government institutions and DDR in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. MONUSCO, the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and all sectors of society should strengthen their communications, enhance mutual trust and ensure the smooth performance of peacekeeping operations. The Secretary-General will submit a report to the Council in July on MONUSCO’s reconfiguration of its uniformed personnel. China supports listening to the opinions of the countries concerned in advancing drawdown responsibility. Fourthly, the international community should firmly support humanitarian responses.”

The EAC and Angola are carrying out peacekeeping and security operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. All the parties should strengthen coordination to ensure synergy. Thirdly, MONUSCO should be supported in providing targeted assistance. Special Representative Keita has led MONUSCO in overcoming difficulties and implementing its mandate and has done important work in conducting joint patrols, supporting security- sector reform, advancing disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) and supporting the general elections.”

We expect the Nairobi and Luanda processes to continue to play an important role. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the signing of the 2013 Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework Agreement for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes Region. We hope that the countries of the region will draw on their experiences, reinvigorate that important process and commit to resolving differences through dialogue and consultation to build a common future.”

“With the help of the African Union (AU) and countries of the region, such as Angola, the Mouvement du 23 mars (M-23) announced an agreement on a ceasefire and dialogue in early March. China calls on the M-23 and other armed groups to honour their commitments, cease all violent activities and withdraw from the occupied areas. The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo recently launched its Disarmament, Demobilization, Community Recovery and Stabilization Programme for 6,000 people in the three provinces in the east of the country. China expects to see relevant plans creating conditions there conducive to the programme’s implementation and to the armed groups’ participation in dialogue. Secondly, regional organizations are encouraged to play an important role.”

China thanks the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) for their work in hosting the mission and supports the issuance of a presidential statement in the light of the visit. I would like to emphasize the following points. First, a ceasefire and a cessation of the violence are top priorities. The ongoing attacks by armed groups in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo are likely to worsen the security situation in the area.”

I welcome the Permanent Representatives of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda to today’s meeting.

“We have repeatedly stressed that the Council’s continued imposition of sanctions against Darfur not only lacks political and security grounds but also limits the efforts of the Sudanese Government to maintain stability, protect civilians and combat crime on the ground. We oppose the politicization and perpetuation of sanctions measures and urge the relevant parties to acknowledge the improved situation in the country and heed the calls of the countries of the region to lift the sanctions against the Sudan. Sanctions must not be used for political manipulation and efforts must be made to lift them.”

China has reservations about the Security Council’s continued imposition of sanctions against the Darfur region of the Sudan. We elaborated on our position when the Council adopted resolution 2676 (2023) on sanctions against the Sudan earlier this month (see S/PV.9278).”

“We hope that the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan will step up its efforts to mobilize international aid to alleviate the difficulties faced by the Sudanese people. We note that while intercommunal clashes still occur from time to time in the Sudan, the number of security incidents is declining — a trend that is intrinsically linked to the efforts of the Sudanese Government. We welcome the timely visit of the Sudanese Government to the conflict-affected communities, as well as its commitment to hold the perpetrators to account, its efforts to achieve reconciliation agreements between the communities concerned, and the series of responsible and effective initiatives it has taken in that regard.”

“According to United Nations assessments, in 2023, one third of the Sudan’s population will be in need of humanitarian assistance, while reduced international funding is seriously constraining humanitarian relief work. We call on the relevant countries and international financial institutions to resume economic assistance to the Sudan immediately and unconditionally. Some countries attach political strings to aid, linking it to the Sudan’s political process. That not only interferes with the Sudan’s sovereignty but also disregards the basic human rights of the Sudanese people, including their right to subsistence and their right to development.”

“Yesterday the relevant parties held a preparatory meeting, at which consensus was reached on the road map and timeline for the drafting of a political agreement and the transitional constitution. That provides an important opportunity for all parties in the Sudan to bridge their differences and reach consensus. China is encouraged by the political will and spirit of consultation shown by all parties involved in the process, and supports all parties in adhering to the Sudanese-led and Sudanese-owned political process. Continuing the inclusive dialogue will help to expand consensus and find a development path suitable for the country. Meanwhile, the economic and humanitarian situation in the Sudan is worrisome.”

“The Security Council should listen to Africa’s voice, pay attention to its concerns, act with the greatest sense of urgency and promptly adjust and lift the Council’s sanctions that do not meet the needs of the situation and remove obstacles to building security sectors in African countries. At the same time, some countries have initiated unilateral coercive measures and applied long-arm jurisdiction indiscriminately.
