1. “China welcomes the adoption of resolution 2170 (2014), which contains provisions on sanctions against terrorist groups such as ISIL and the Nusra Front in terms of their use of the Internet and social media to recruit people and obtain weapons and financing. We hope that the international community will attach great importance to this issue and will enhance their cooperation to combat cyberterrorism together. China is also a victim of terrorism. We strongly oppose all forms of terrorism and will continue to actively participate in international counter-terrorism cooperation and to combat the threat of terrorism together.”

2. “China calls upon the international community to faithfully implement the resolution just adopted and to strengthen its efforts to combat such terrorist groups as ISIL and the Nusra Front by adopting concrete measures to cut off the supply of arms, personnel and financing to those terrorist groups from outside so as to stop the spread of terrorism in countries such as Iraq and to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East and throughout the world. With globalization and the development of information and communications technology, terrorist groups such as ISIL and the Nusra Front are increasingly using the Internet and social media to spread terrorist propaganda video and audio products, to recruit for, incite, plan and execute terrorist acts and to raise funds for their terrorist activities.”

3. “Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): China supports the Security Council's adoption of resolution 2170 (2014), aimed at combating such terrorist groups as the Islamic State in the Levant (ISIL) and the Nusra Front. Recently, ISIL and the Nusra Front have been rampantly and deliberately attacking civilians and persecuting people of other religions and ethnicities, resulting in large numbers of casualties among innocent civilians and the displacement of millions of civilians. That has become a serious threat to peace and security in the Middle East and the world as a whole.”

4. “China attaches great importance to its ties with Africa. I firmly support Africa in resolving African issues in an African way, while we implement the China-Africa Cooperative Partnership for Peace and Security initiative in an in-depth manner and further increase our support for the creation of a collective security mechanism in Africa. In the meantime, we will continue our cooperation with the rest of the international community so as to jointly promote peace, stability, prosperity and development in Africa.”

5. “While pursuing their own development, countries in the region should also actively strive to achieve development for all so that the fruits of development can bring more and greater benefits to the people of every country. Thirdly, with respect to win-win cooperation, working together will make countries stronger, while isolation will make them weak. Countries should abide by the basic policy of win-win cooperation in handling their international affairs. We hope that members from the region will establish a new concept of win-win in bilateral, multilateral and common endeavours and through regional cooperation platforms, such as the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Region, and jointly promote regional peace, security and development.”

6. “First, with respect to common security, the international community should advocate in favour of the concept of common security, comprehensiveness, cooperation and sustainable development, and respect and guarantee every country's security. In the Great Lakes region, the international community should encourage countries concerned to resolve their differences and disputes through discussion and consultations and increase mutual trust, resolve divergences and promote security through dialogue. Secondly, in the area of common development, the Great Lakes region is endowed with rich resources and an enormous potential for development. The international community should concretely help countries in the region realize development and address the root causes of conflict, such as poverty.”

7. “The international community, including the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations such as the African Union and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, has made great efforts to that end, which China greatly appreciates. The Great Lakes region is at the centre of the African continent. For historical and ethnic reasons, countries in the region have frequent interactions. Their destinies are inextricably interwoven. Right now, the region has a good opportunity to put an end to its long-term turmoil. The international community should coordinate its efforts on three fronts so as to push for the realization of lasting peace, stability and development in the region.”

A political settlement to the Ukrainian crisis should include the legitimate claims of various areas and ethnic groups and realize a balance of interests.

China is deeply worried about the situation. We hope that the international community will play a constructive role in easing the humanitarian situation in eastern Ukraine and that United Nations humanitarian agencies will strictly abide by the principle of neutrality and objectivity. We now face the urgent task of engaging in political consultations with a view to achieving a ceasefire as soon as possible and engaging in comprehensive dialogue, which is the only way out of the Ukrainian crisis.”

China has vigorously supported and actively participated in peacekeeping operations in Africa. From the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Liberia, from Mali to the Sudan, close to 2,000 Chinese peacekeepers are involved in seven peacekeeping operations in Africa. During his visit to Africa last year, Chinese President Xi J inping put forward the concept of sincerity, honesty, kindness and integrity in the development of our relationship with Africa. In May, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, visited AU headquarters, where both parties signed a joint statement on the further strengthening of friendly cooperation in peace and security matters.”

14. “Since last year, the peacekeeping operations in Mali and the Central African Republic have transitioned to United Nations peacekeeping operations. Many challenges have emerged in the transitioning of operations, communications with troop-contributing countries, and logistical support. We hope that the United Nations will heed the opinions and proposals of regional organizations, such as the AU, on matters related to transition and respond positively to Africa's concerns so as to create enabling conditions for the smooth transition of peacekeeping operations from African regional organizations to the United Nations. China highly commends and supports regional organizations, such as the AU, in their efforts to play an important role in African peace and security affairs.”

15. “The United Nations and the international community should actively respond to the legitimate demands of regional organizations, such as the AU, and provide more support to African regional and subregional organizations in training peacekeepers, building mechanisms, logistical assistance and resource management. We should also explore practical modes of financial and technical cooperation so that we can play a significant role in mobilizing the international community in support of AU capacity-building. Fourthly, we should constantly summarize our experience and lessons learned and respond appropriately to the challenges encountered in peacekeeping transitions from regional organizations to the United Nations.”

16. “Regional organizations like the AU, which was established in Africa and is led by Africans, have unique regional, historical and cultural advantages in conflict mediation and peacekeeping. The United Nations and regional organizations like the AU should explore ways of building various kinds of practical coordination and cooperation mechanisms on the basis of equal treatment and complementarity so as to strengthen coordination and cooperation in strategic planning, deployment, logistics management and support for peacekeeping operations. The efficiency and outcomes of peacekeeping operations can thereby be raised. Thirdly, the strengthening of capacity-building in peacekeeping should be a priority area for cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, such as the AU.”

17. “The Security Council has the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, while the AU and other regional organizations can also play an active role in using their good offices to mediate conflicts and in peacekeeping deployment. The Security Council-mandated peacekeeping operations deployed by regional organizations should fully reflect the principles and purposes of the Charter. Their enforcement actions should abide strictly by their Security Council mandates and adhere to the basic principles of peacekeeping operations. Secondly, the United Nations and regional organizations should strengthen their coordination so as to fully utilize their respective advantages and thereby create synergy. Many African issues are very complicated and require comprehensive solutions.”

18. “The peacekeeping efforts of regional organizations, such as the AU, are constrained by their human, material and financial resources. The United Nations should further strengthen its cooperation with regional organizations, such as the AU, in the strategic planning and deployment of peacekeeping operations and in their communications and coordination so as to effectively support African regional organizations in their efforts to maintain regional peace and security. I should like to emphasize the following four points. First, the United Nations and regional organizations like the AU should be guided by the Charter of the United Nations in strengthening their peacekeeping cooperation.”

19. “In recent years, the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations such as the AU have increasingly strengthened their cooperation in peacekeeping under the guidance of Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations and have yielded positive, recognizable results in peacekeeping operations in the Sudan, Darfur, Somalia, Mali, the Central African Republic and South Sudan. That cooperation is an important development in terms of international collective security mechanisms in today's world. It is also one of the increasingly effective means for defusing conflicts and maintaining peace and stability in Africa and in the world at large. At the same time, we should also recognize that various kinds of security threats and challenges in Africa are intertwined and that its security situation is still very weak.”

It is also in the fundamental interests of both sides. We hope that Israel and Palestine will end their conflict soon and make efforts to address the deep- seated problems in their bilateral relations in order to avoid a repetition oftragedies. We urge Israel to stop its settlement activities and release detained Palestinians so as to create conditions for the restarting of the peace talks.”

China supports the continued constructive role played by Egypt and other countries in pushing for a ceasefire. China's Special Envoy for the Middle East is now visiting several countries in the region and is bringing influence to bear on the parties concerned, with a View to bringing about a ceasefire, a cessation of violence and peace talks.

I have also listened very carefully to the statements made by the Observer of the State of Palestine and the representative of Israel. Israel's military operation in Gaza has lasted for halfa month. In spite ofrepeated appeals by the Security Council and the international community, the Israeli military operation has continued to expand in scope, resulting in a serious deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gaza. China is deeply concerned and saddened by the situation. China is resolutely opposed to any use of force against civilians and is particularly opposed to targeting residential areas and hospitals. Such actions, which violate international humanitarian law, are unacceptable.”

The re-emergence of conflict in Gaza underscores the importance and urgency of a solution to the Palestinian issue given the current situation in the region.

As the dominant force, Israel must take proactive steps and establish the necessary conditions for the relaunching of the peace talks.”

China believes that, in order to strengthen post- conflict peacebuilding efforts, the various parties must make additional efforts in the following four areas. First, there must be respect for ownership by the countries concerned. Post-conflict countries bear the primary responsibility for peacebuilding. The PBC and the international community should fully respect the will of the Governments and the peoples concerned and provide assistance in accordance with national conditions and key priorities determined by the countries themselves.”

Last March, the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Sierra Leone smoothly completed its mandate, thereby becoming an example of peacebuilding success. Peacebuilding is a long, complex and arduous task. Through years of practice, the PBC has built up a great deal of valuable experience.”

Resolution 2165 (2014), which we have just adopted unanimously, once again demonstrates that, as long as all parties put the interests of the Syrian people first and meet each other half way, the Council's consensus on the Syrian issue and robust actions are possible.”

47. “Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): China has been closely following the situation in Syria. Over the past three years, the escalating conflict in Syria has brought untold suffering to the Syrian people and resulted in the worsening of the humanitarian situation in parts of the country. China is deeply concerned about the suffering of the population and has made ongoing efforts to improve the humanitarian situation in the country. On many occasions, China has provided significant amounts of humanitarian assistance to Syria and its neighbours through various channels. In June, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced a new round of humanitarian assistance to the Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and other countries, which is being acted upon.”

All parties should take effective measures to strengthen their internal management and their export control over sensitive materials and technology, strengthen enforcement measures and respond actively to proliferation risks related to globalization and the dissemination of information. All countries should implement resolution 1540 (2004) fairly and objectively. Discrimination must be eliminated to avoid interference with regular international trade activities. Strengthening global governance in the field of non-proliferation, promoting disarmament and the peaceful uses of nuclear materials and strengthening international security are in the common interests of the international community.”

50. “The international community must work diligently to improve existing non-proliferation mechanisms, while fundamentally improving the global security environment at the strategic level. Secondly, multilateralism must be respected. The proliferation issue must be addressed via political and diplomatic means. Non-proliferation is linked to political, security and diplomatic issues, among many others. Disputes should be settled via diplomatic and political means by giving full play to the role of the United Nations and other international organizations. Confrontation, pressure or resort to the use of force will not lead to the settlement of an issue; but rather to escalation and spillover of conflict, thus increasing the risk of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.”
