“Handy’s briefing. Africa is a continent with rich natural resources and great development potential. In recent years, many African countries have formulated policies on resource development appropriate to their national conditions, developed energy and mining industries in an orderly manner, advanced industrialization and made remarkable achievements in sustainable development. At the same time, in some conflict areas, the illegal exploitation of, and trafficking in, natural resources, including wildlife resources, is rampant, benefiting armed groups and terrorist forces and becoming an important trigger and enabler of conflict. As the Foreign Minister said, natural resources should not become a curse to the peace and development of African countries.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): The Chinese delegation once again congratulates Gabon on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council. We welcome you, Mr. Foreign Minister, to preside over this meeting. State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi asked me to convey his warm greetings to Your Excellency and reiterate China’s full support for Gabon’s presidency. I believe that, under Gabon’s leadership, the Council will have a very productive month. China will continue to strengthen its collaboration with Gabon and all the other African members of the Security Council to see that the Council plays its due role in resolving hotspot issues and addressing common challenges in Africa. I thank Executive Director Waly and Commissioner Adeoye for their valuable briefings just now. I also listened carefully to Mr.”

“Under the current circumstances, the international community should continue its firm support for Iraq in safeguarding its security and stability and actively help the country rebuild with a focus on improving people’s livelihoods. The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and other United Nations agencies must channel greater resources and attention towards supporting Iraq’s national development priorities. In its work related to human rights and humanitarian assistance, UNAMI must strictly follow its mandate, closely communicate and coordinate with the Iraqi Government and improve the screening and verification of information.”

“The United Nations Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Da’esh/Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant must turn over to Iraq as soon as possible the evidence it has collected and help the country bring terrorists to justice in accordance with domestic law. China welcomes Iraq’s ongoing efforts aimed at repatriating and resettling Iraqi citizens from Al-Hol camp in Syria. We urge other countries to take up their responsibilities as Iraq has done and speed up the identification and repatriation of foreign terrorist fighters and their families from Iraq. Over the past three decades or so, Iraq has experienced ups and downs in its situation, which has brought enormous suffering to its people.”

“China commends Iraq for developing good- neighbourly and friendly relations with countries in the region and for promoting regional integration. We support Iraq in its joint efforts with Kuwait to achieve progress in the search for missing Kuwaiti nationals and property. China has always stood for full respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, including Iraq, and has always stood for common security through cooperation. Iraq has made huge sacrifices in combating the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and recovering the territories originally occupied by terrorists and extremist organizations. The international community must continue its firm support for Iraq in eradicating the remnants of terror and in consolidating the hard-won counter-terrorism results.”

“We sincerely hope that all parties in Iraq will strengthen unity, properly settle their differences, and, within the constitutional and legal framework, conduct dialogue and consultations to seek consensus on next steps in political arrangements, with a view to laying a solid political foundation for lasting peace, development and prosperity. All members of the international community should fully respect the sovereignty and ownership of Iraq and support the Iraqi people in independently choosing a development path that fits their national conditions. With its strategic location and its ethnic and religious diversity, Iraq should become a propeller of regional cooperation, not a playing field for geopolitical competition.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to congratulate Gabon on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for this month and thank France for its excellent work as President of the Council over the last month. China thanks Special Representative of the Secretary-General Hennis-Plasschaert for her briefing and welcomes the Permanent Representative of Iraq at today’s meeting. I also wish to congratulate Iraq for National Iraqi Day, which was celebrated yesterday. At present, Iraq is in a crucial political phase, facing such major tasks as forming a new Government.”

“MONUSCO should continue to communicate with all sectors of the Congolese community, through various channels, in order to enhance mutual understanding and trust. We express our condolences to the families of the peacekeepers and civilians who died in the recent clashes and hope that there will be a timely investigation and a proper handling of the incident. China supports MONUSCO in strengthening its coordination with the Congolese authorities on the drawdown plan, while respecting the concerns of the host country and implementing the drawdown plan in a steady, orderly and responsible manner, in accordance with the situation on the ground and in keeping with exit benchmarks. The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has repeatedly requested the Security Council to lift the arms embargo.”

“MONUSCO peacekeepers have braved hardship and peril and made enormous sacrifices for the maintenance of peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At the same time, MONUSCO must keep abreast of the evolution of the situation and meet the expectations of the Congolese Government and people. In accordance with presidential statement S/PRST/2022/6, on capacity-building for sustaining peace in Africa, which was adopted in August, the Security Council should streamline and optimize MONUSCO’s tasks, roll back and curb mandates that are beyond the Mission’s capabilities and devote resources to core tasks such as protecting civilians and maintaining security and stability.”

“Special Representative of the Secretary-General Keita and Special Envoy Huang Xia visited several countries in the region. China applauds those developments. The situation in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo affects the stability of the entire region. The international community should continue to support efforts to resolve African issues with African solutions, support the synergy between the Nairobi process and the Luanda process and help the countries of the region to respect each other’s interests and concerns and resolve their differences through dialogue and consultation, with a view to de-escalating the situation as soon as possible. Thirdly, delivering on the MONUSCO mandate is key.”

“We welcome the announcement of the Independent National Electoral Commission concerning the date for voter registration and call on all parties in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to enhance consultations, bridge differences and create a favourable political atmosphere for the smooth and timely holding of general elections. Secondly, we should support regional efforts as an effective way to address the situation. The Kenyan and Angolan leaders have been actively engaged in providing their good offices. The operationalization of the joint regional force of the East African Community continues to make progress. The Presidents of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda met recently in Luanda and adopted a road map.”

“We urge all armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to provide an immediate response to the call of the Nairobi process, cease violence without delay, and participate unconditionally in political dialogue, reconciliation and the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process. Political stability is the cornerstone of the peaceful development of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. China welcomes the efforts of the Congolese authorities to appoint the President of the Constitutional Court and amend the electoral law.”

“In the light of the Secretary-General’s report (S/2022/709), I would like to highlight the following points. First, restoring stability is the top priority. The Mouvement du 23 mars and other armed groups continue to wreak havoc, resulting in heavy casualties and the displacement of millions of people. The Congolese Government, working alongside the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) and the countries of the region, has taken military action to combat the violence. China expresses its support.”

I welcome the presence of the Permanent Representatives of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Burundi at today’s meeting. The recent reporting period was marked by ongoing turmoil and escalating violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, ensnaring innocent civilians and seriously undermining peace and stability in the country and the wider region. During the recently concluded general debate of the General Assembly, the situation drew heightened attention from the leaders of the region and the international community.”

“The Chinese peacekeepers in UNMISS are fearless and dedicated in actively carrying out their peace mission. Going forward, we will continue to work with the international community to provide support and assistance for the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement and help the people of South Sudan in their effort to lead a peaceful life as soon as possible.”

“Under such circumstances, reducing development assistance and imposing indiscriminate sanctions are making things worse. The international community should not only increase humanitarian assistance to South Sudan, but also help accelerate its independent development and build its capacity and resilience to counter risks and challenges and promote peace through development. As an international witness to the Revitalized Agreement, China has always respected South Sudan’s sovereignty and independence and supported its efforts to embark upon a development path that fits its own national conditions. China recently provided material assistance to the necessary unified forces and cooperated with the United Nations Development Programme on its disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme.”

“Security Council sanctions against South Sudan are not conducive to the necessary unified forces securing the security equipment needed to carry out its mandates. A growing number of Council members have already recognized that. China once again calls on the Council to pay attention to South Sudan’s concerns and appeals on the issue of sanctions, lift the arms embargo and other sanctions against South Sudan at an early date and help it improve its security capacity. As the youngest country in the world, South Sudan has a late start in development and a weak foundation. As such, it requires continued support from the international community. Affected by floods, food shortages, violent conflicts and other factors, South Sudan is facing dire humanitarian challenges and is in urgent need of help.”

“The successful graduation and deployment of the first cohort of South Sudan’s necessary unified forces at the end of August shows significant progress in the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement. It marks a solid step forward in South Sudan’s peace process. China welcomes and commends that step and believes that the necessary unified forces can play an important role in safeguarding national security and eliminating violent conflicts. It cannot be ignored that follow-up actions of the necessary unified forces and the implementation of other security arrangements set out in the Revitalized Agreement require concrete help from the international community. Cutting off funds while complaining about delays in implementing the agreement is not an effective solution to the problem.”

“Like the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and other international partners, China welcomes that development. China hopes that all the parties concerned will continue to cooperate and work together to gradually achieve the remaining goals of the transitional period in accordance with the road map so as to lay a solid foundation for elections. Countries should understand the practical difficulties faced by South Sudan, take an objective view of the decision on extending the transitional period and not blindly regard elections as a panacea to solve all problems and should not ignore political efforts made on dialogue and reconciliation among the parties in South Sudan.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Special Representative Haysom for his briefing. I welcome the presence of the Permanent Representative of South Sudan at today’s meeting. I also listened attentively to the briefing by Ms. Riziq. The political transition in South Sudan has entered a new and important stage. Last month, the signatories to the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan agreed on a road map to extend the transitional period. That was a political decision made independently by all parties in South Sudan. It is also the correct choice in the light of the current situation and is conducive to the peace process.”

“China has provided more funding and experts and undertaken more projects under the framework of the South-South Cooperation programme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) than any other developing country. We set up the FAO-China South-South Cooperation Trust Fund to help developing countries build their capacities for poverty alleviation, agricultural production and food security. China has carried out agricultural cooperation with more than 140 countries and regions and provided more than 1,000 agricultural technologies to other developing countries, driving their crop yield up by 30 to 60 per cent on average, benefiting more than 1.5 million small agricultural households. China will continue to work with all countries in the world to contribute even more to maintaining food security.”

“Helping more countries become more self-sustaining with regard to food is the most direct and effective means of improving food security. We should help the relevant countries increase agricultural investment, support the early recovery and reconstruction of agricultural infrastructure and strengthen support for agricultural technologies. Developed countries should reduce trade and technical barriers and offer more support to developing countries in funding technologies, markets and capacity-building, among other things. As the most populous country in the world, China has managed to feed approximately one fifth of the world’s population with less than 9 per cent of the world’s arable land. That in itself is a major contribution to global food security.”

“No one and no country should be left behind in achieving food security. Assistance to regions and countries in conflict must only be increased, not decreased. Developed countries should earnestly fulfil the commitment of spending 0.7 per cent of their national income on official development assistance. International financial institutions and developed economies should step up their policy and financing support for developing countries facing special difficulties. Fourthly, food security capacity should be comprehensively strengthened. At present, the world food supply and demand pattern is characterized by food production being highly concentrated in a few countries and consumption highly dispersed geographically.”

“At present, owing to many obstacles in bank settlement, insurance and shipping, millions of tons of Russian fertilizers are stranded in ports in Europe, and there has been a failure to export it on time. It is imperative to remove such barriers to ensure the free and steady flow of key agricultural resources. Thirdly, we must help people in conflict areas overcome difficulties. Last year, 53 countries and regions were food insecure. At present, around 7.7 million people in South Sudan are facing food shortages; 4.1 million people in Nigeria do not have a secure food supply; Yemen is mired in the most severe food crisis in recent years; in Somalia, millions are struggling to earn a living amid a major drought which is now in its seventh year; and the basic needs of many Afghan families are not being met.”

“As long as conflicts and wars are not fully resolved, local populations will continue to suffer from hunger. The international community should vigorously promote the political settlement of hot-spot issues and foster a peaceful and secure environment for ensuring food security. Secondly, we must ensure stable and smooth industrial and supply chains. Secretary-General Guterres has articulated that there is enough food in our world for everyone, and the issue is about distribution. Major food exporters and countries with major grain companies should join efforts to curb artificial inflation of food prices. So far, over 700,000 tons of grain has been shipped to destinations across the world under the Black Sea Grain Initiative.”

“Mr. Dai Bing (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Under-Secretary-General Griffiths, Executive Director Beasley and Chief Economist Torero for their briefings. Food security is both a key element for realizing lasting peace and security and a long-standing challenge facing the international community. We should stay calm and pragmatic and focus both on the present to resolve urgent matters and on the long term to achieve the goal of eradicating hunger. In that connection, China wishes to stress the following three points. We must promote the political settlement of hot- spot issues. Armed conflicts undermine agricultural production, destroy agricultural infrastructure, disrupt trade in food, cause displacement and directly worsen the local food security situations.”

“China sincerely supports the Sudan’s peace and development and attaches no political conditions in doing so. In the wake of the severe floods that have affected multiple areas in the Sudan, China immediately sent a message of sympathy, to be followed by disaster relief assistance. China will continue to strengthen exchange and cooperation in various fields between the two countries and provide support and assistance to the Sudan to the best of its ability.”

“At present, the Sudan’s economy and the Sudanese people’s livelihoods continue to deteriorate as droughts and floods take turns hitting the country. Food insecurity and displacement are urgent issues that need to be solved. The humanitarian situation in the country also presents grave challenges. At a time when the Sudanese people are most in need, the politically motivated suspension of economic aid and debt relief will aggravate the Sudan’s economic and humanitarian stress, rather than helping it to free itself from its current predicament. China calls upon the relevant countries and international organizations to adopt responsible policies, to resume international assistance to the Sudan as soon as possible and to assist the country through the provision of economic and humanitarian relief.”

“China regrets that the Council was not able to set benchmarks to adjust the sanctions imposed on the Sudan before 31 August, as required by the relevant resolutions. We urge the penholder to earnestly fulfil its responsibilities, resume consultations as soon as possible and spare no effort to achieve consensus. We stress that the benchmarks should be clear, well- defined and realistic and should not go beyond the Darfur issue or existing sanctions measures, and neither should they become a political tool to delay the lifting of sanctions against the Sudan. The Government of the Sudan stated its position on the benchmarks in a letter dated 31 August addressed to the Council, which deserves a positive response from the penholder and other Council members.”

“Moreover, the first cohort of 2,000 soldiers in Darfur’s joint security- keeping force successfully graduated, which would not have been possible without the sustained political input of the Sudanese Government and relevant signatories. It should be noted that financial shortfalls are hindering the implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement on the ground. The international community should doubly cherish that hard-won Agreement and provide financial and technical support to accelerate its implementation. The sanctions imposed by the Council in relation to Darfur have severely restricted the Sudanese Government’s ability to maintain stability and protect civilians there. Until they are lifted, such measures should be adjusted in the light of the evolving situation.”

“The international community should adhere to the principle of a Sudanese-led and -owned process while remaining as patient as necessary with regard to intra-Sudanese consultations and dialogue, as well as offering support and encouragement to the political efforts of all Sudanese parties. In response to the recent intercommunal clashes in Darfur, the Sudanese Government promptly took measures to fulfil its responsibility for the protection of civilians. Some progress has been made in the implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement, as the Permanent Ceasefire Committee continues to play its role in eliminating violent conflict.”

“The trilateral mechanism of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan, the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development has also been working to facilitate internal political dialogue in the Sudan. The facts have repeatedly proven that the Sudan’s problems can be resolved only by finding a path that aligns with its national conditions and the interests of the country and its people, while the imposition of external solutions and the single-minded pursuit of quick results will not be conducive to lasting political stability.”

I also listened carefully to Mr. Mudawi’s remarks. The Sudan is now at a critical stage in its political transition. While political challenges and uncertainties remain, the relevant parties have stayed the course of dialogue and consultations in search of a way to restore the transitional Government and continue the political transition. We noted the announcement by the Sudanese military in July to withdraw from the political dialogue to allow space for political forces to form a Government. Political groups have put forward many proposals for the establishment of a Government.”

We will accelerate that process and do everything we can in order to help Somalia respond to the drought, and we will jointly explore lasting solutions to prevent and mitigate disasters. As required by the Council resolution, the Secretary-General will soon submit to the Council three reports — a strategic review of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, an assessment of the progress by ATMIS and an adjustment of the benchmarks for the implementation of sanctions.”

China welcomes the appointment by President Mohamud of the Special Presidential Envoy for Drought Response in order to focus on humanitarian aid. We support the United Nations in its emergency fund relief to the Horn of Africa in order to mitigate the consequences of the drought. We also welcome the aid provided to Somalia by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative, which will help the country address its challenges through assistance and debt relief.

I would like to pay tribute to the commitment and sacrifice of peacekeepers in the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) and to call on major donors to provide ATMIS with sustainable and predictable funding in order to ensure that AU peacekeepers regularly receive their stipends in full. At present, the humanitarian situation in Somalia is dire. The persistent drought affects the livelihoods of nearly half of its population, and food security is rapidly deteriorating, with significant risks of famine and malnutrition.”

Security issues are a daunting challenge facing the new Government of Somalia. In the recent period, Al-Shabaab and other terrorist forces have continued to launch terrorist attacks, posing a serious threat to Somalia and the Horn of Africa. The attack on the Hayat Hotel in Mogadishu on 19 August and a series of terrorist activities demonstrate, once again, the urgency of counter-terrorism operations. China supports President Mohamud in listing counter-terrorism and accelerating the reconfiguration of forces as major tasks during his term.”

I welcome the participation of the Permanent Representative of Somalia in today’s meeting. Somalia’s successful holding of elections and smooth transition of power in May has created a favourable political environment for Somalia to focus on urgent challenges and pursue peace and development. Since he assumed office, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has been strengthening dialogue and reconciliation and promoting international cooperation, heralding a good start to his new Administration, and China appreciates those efforts.”

“China welcomes the full resumption of Libyan oil production and urges the parties to increase their consultations on the distribution of oil revenue to ensure that its dividends benefit the entire population. Libya has long-standing concerns about the losses sustained by its frozen assets and has raised specific claims. The Council and the Sanctions Committee should actively study and address them.

China encourages the Secretariat to step up its communication and consultations and strengthen mutual trust with the parties concerned, including those directly involved, and hopes that the process of appointing the Special Representative can move forward as soon as possible. Fourthly, restoring and developing the economy and improving people’s livelihoods are the main tools for consolidating peace and stability in the country. Oil is an important source of income for the Libyan economy.”

“External interference has been a major root cause of the absence of a solution to the Libyan issue for all these years. The international community should abide by the principle of a Libyan-led and -owned political process, wholeheartedly listen to and consider the concerns of the Libyan parties, provide Libya with constructive assistance and avoid imposing solutions from outside. Thirdly, the United Nations is the main channel for providing for good offices in Libya, and the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) should play an active role in promoting dialogue and negotiations among the Libyan parties. The speedy appointment of a Special Representative of the Secretary-General will increase the ability of the United Nations to provide its good offices and restore UNSMIL to full functionality.”

“We also hope that they will maintain the momentum for dialogue and negotiations seen during the previous reporting period and strive to reach a middle ground and an agreement within the constitutional framework without delay, with a view to creating conditions favourable to holding the elections as soon as possible. The Libyan parties’ commitment to promoting reconciliation and rebuilding mutual trust will be conducive to fostering the political process. China welcomes the fact that the Libyan parties held a preparatory meeting on reconciliation in the Republic of the Congo under the auspices of the African Union and reached a consensus on the next stage of work. We are confident that Libya will be informed by and benefit from Africa’s rich experience with reconciliation.”

China supports the 5+5 Joint Military Commission in continuing to play its critical role in maintaining the ceasefire and facilitating the withdrawal of foreign forces and mercenaries. We hope that the withdrawal of foreign troops and mercenaries from Libya can make progress provided that the balance of forces is ensured. Secondly, the only viable way to resolve the Libyan crisis is through political means. China welcomes the fact that the parties in Libya have reached agreement on most of the items within the constitutional framework for elections.”

I thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo and Ambassador Kamboj of India, in her capacity as Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011) concerning Libya, for their briefings. I welcome the presence of the Permanent Representative of Libya, Ambassador Elsonni, at this meeting. I would like to make the following four points. First, the Libyan crisis has entered its eleventh year. The current peaceful situation was hard-earned and should therefore be held especially dear by the Libyan parties. Yet the recent clashes in Tripoli have resulted in more than 200 casualties, and China is deeply concerned about that.”
