“China will continue to advance dialogue and consultations, work together with all relevant parties and make a positive and constructive effort to ensure that an appropriate settlement is reached at an early date so as to resolve the current issue on the peninsula, attain denuclearization and ensure long-term peace and stability on the peninsula.”

“It also undermines the strategic security interests of the countries in the region, of which China is part. China strongly urges the relevant parties to halt its deployment and remove all related equipment. At present, the situation on the peninsula is sensitive, complex and grave. The relevant parties should remain calm and avoid a rhetoric or action that could aggravate the tensions. The priority at present is to comprehensively and strictly implement the relevant Security Council resolutions, and the parties concerned should resume talks and negotiations sooner rather than later, endeavour to advance the denuclearization process and maintain peace and stability on the peninsula. The Council should shoulder its historical responsibility in this regard.”

“We hope that the United States will incorporate the following four "don'ts" into its relevant policies regarding the Democratic People's Republic of Korea: don't seek regime change; don't incite a collapse of the regime; don't seek an accelerated reunification effort of the peninsula; and don't send its military north of the thirty-eighth parallel. China is a close neighbour of the Korean peninsula. We have been consistently committed to its denuclearization and are against any war or chaos on the territory. The strengthening of military deployment on the Korean peninsula and the goal of denuclearization and reaching peace and stability run counter to each other. The deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system severely undermines the reaching of a strategic balance.”

“China calls on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to halt its nuclear and missile activities, and on the United States and the Republic of Korea to suspend their large-scale military exercises, in line with Russia's proposal for a step-by-step approach. China and Russia have formulated a road map for the solution of the Korean peninsula issue. The joint Chinese and Russian initiative is realistic and feasible. It aims to tackle both the symptoms and root causes of the problem, so as to advance the peaceful settlement of the Korean peninsula nuclear issue and maintain the peace and stability of the peninsula. In that vein, we hope to obtain a positive response and backing from relevant parties.”

“All parties should effectively and comprehensively implement the relevant provisions set out in Security Council resolutions. The nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula must be resolved peacefully. Comprehensive measures must be taken to balance the legitimate security concerns of all parties. China has made unremitting efforts towards denuclearization and maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula. On 4 July, China and Russia issued ajoint statement on the issue of the Korean peninsula, based on China's proposal of a dual-track approach of promoting the denuclearization of the peninsula through a suspension-for-suspension approach.”

“China urges the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to earnestly heed the expectations and will of the international community to halt the country's nuclear and missile development, effectively abide by and implement the Council's resolutions, stop any further nuclear and missile tests and effectively work towards denuclearization. At the same time, the resolution reiterates the need to maintain peace and stability on the peninsula and in North-East Asia. It also commits to resolving the issue through peaceful, diplomatic and political means and supports the resumption of the Six-Party Talks, as well as the commitment voiced in the statement of 19 September 2005, while also emphasizing the importance of de-escalating tension on the peninsula.”

“On 3 September, while defying the general opposition on the part of the international community, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea conducted yet another nuclear test. The Chinese Government strongly opposes and condemns such an act. China is consistently committed to denuclearizing the Korean peninsula, ensuring peace and stability on the peninsula and resolving the issue through dialogue and consultation. The Security Council's adoption of resolution 2375 (2017) today reflects those three commitments and the united position of the international community in opposing the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's development of its nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities and preserving the international non-proliferation regime.”

“That joint initiative by China and Russia is practical and feasible and is aimed at addressing the most urgent security concerns of the parties concerned; easing the tension as soon as possible; preventing the continuous escalation of the situation; achieving through dialogue the denuclearization of the peninsula; and maintaining the peace and stability of the peninsula and the region. We hope that the parties concerned will seriously consider that proposal and actively respond to it. China calls upon the international community to jointly and comprehensively implement the relevant resolutions of the Security Council on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, firmly push forward the goal of denuclearization of the peninsula and firmly maintain the peace and stability of the peninsula.”

“The parties concerned must strengthen their sense of urgency; take due responsibility; play their due roles; take practical measures; make joint efforts to ease the situation together; restart the dialogue and talks; and prevent further deterioration of the situation on the peninsula. China and Russia proposed a two-track approach that promotes the denuclearization of the peninsula and the establishment ofa peace mechanism in parallel. The suspension-for-suspension initiative, which calls for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to suspend its nuclear and missile activities and for the United States and the Republic of Korea to suspend their large-scale military exercises, and the step-by-step concept by Russia are the basis on which both countries jointly proposed a road map to resolve the peninsula issue.”

“We strongly urge the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to face up squarely to the firm will of the international community on the issue of the denuclearization of the peninsula and earnestly abide by the relevant resolutions of the Council; stop taking actions that are wrong, that lead to the deterioration of the situation and that are not in line with its own interests; and to return to the track of solving the issue through dialogue. The situation on the Korean peninsula continues to deteriorate as we speak, falling into a vicious circle. The peninsula issue must be resolved peacefully. China will never allow chaos and war on the peninsula.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): On 3 September, despite the broad opposition of the international community, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea disregarded the relevant resolutions of the Security Council and once again conducted a nuclear test. The Chinese Government resolutely opposes and strongly condemns the nuclear test conducted by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in violation of Security Council resolutions. Achieving the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and maintaining the nuclear non-proliferation system and peace and stability in North-East Asia constitute the firm stand of the Chinese Government, as well as the overall aspiration of the international community.”

“It will further escalate tensions on the peninsula, making the issue more complicated and intractable. China urges the relevant parties to halt the deployment process and dismantle related facilities immediately. China also urges countries to end the practice of resorting to domestic legislation to impose unilateral sanctions on individuals and entities in other countries. Achieving denuclearization and lasting peace and security on the peninsula is in the interests of all parties. We hope that the relevant parties can, along with China, play their due role and assume their share of responsibility to restore the peninsula issue to the right track of peaceful resolution through dialogue.”

“We hope that all the relevant parties will give it serious consideration and respond positively, working with China to open effective paths for the settlement of the peninsula issue. China has always been committed to the goal of the denuclearization of the peninsula, the maintenance of peace and stability on the peninsula, and the settlement of the issue through dialogue and consultations. China is opposed to any chaos or war on the peninsula. Enhancing military deployment on the peninsula will not help to achieve the goal of denuclearization or regional stability. The deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system in North-East Asia severely jeopardizes regional strategic balance and undermines the strategic security interests of all regional countries, including China.”

“It calls for the resumption of the Six-Party Talks, pledges to seek a peaceful, diplomatic and political solution to the problem, and underscores the importance of de-escalation efforts on the part of the relevant parties. All parties involved Should implement the relevant provisions of the resolutions of the Council in a comprehensive, integrated manner, avoid any rhetoric or action that might exacerbate tensions on the peninsula, and create the conditions necessary for the resumption of dialogue. The suspension-for-suspension proposal and the dual-track approach put forward by China represent a realistic and feasible formula for the proper settlement of the issue on the Korean peninsula.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): The relevant Security Council resolutions contain clear provisions regarding the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's launch activities with ballistic missile technology. China opposes such launch activities by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, in violation of Council resolutions. We call on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to comply with the provisions of the resolutions and on all relevant parties to exercise restraint, avoid mutually provocative actions that might exacerbate the situation in the region, and work together to safeguard peace and stability on the Korean peninsula. Resolution 2371 (2017), adopted by the Council on 5 August, provides for further sanctions against the nuclear and missile programmes of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.”

“China will further enhance the effectiveness of the United Nations-China Peace and Development Trust Fund, giving momentum to the peace and development of developing countries, in particular those in Africa. China stands ready to cooperate closely with African countries within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, supporting their social and economic development and helping them to achieve peace, stability and development at an early date. China looks forward to working with the international community to forge a new type of international relations featuring win-win cooperation and to promote a new security vision of universal security and common prosperity, thereby making positive contributions to the sustainable peace and development of the world community.”

“It supports African countries in seeking African solutions to African problems, and encourages the AU and other regional and subregional organizations to play an active role in finding solutions to regional problems. China is firmly committed to United Nations peacekeeping operations. As the second-largest contributor to the United Nations peacekeeping budget, China has a total of 2,514 peacekeepers on active duty in nine mission areas. We are working at full capacity to fulfil the commitments made by Chinese leaders in support of United Nations peacekeeping operations and to advance the peace and security track of the 10 major China-Africa cooperation plans to enhance capacity-building for African-led peace operations.”

“China hopes that the United Nations and the AU will fully implement the joint UN-AU Framework on Enhanced Partnership in Peace and Security so as to enhance cooperation in such areas as conflict prevention, crisis management and post-conflict reconstruction. China supports the positive consideration of the African proposal for financing AU-led peace operations, effectively helping Africans to secure sustained, stable and predictable funding. China looks forward to the alignment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with the AU Agenda 2063, in support of accelerated economic development, to address the root causes of conflict in Africa. China has always pursued an Africa policy characterized by sincerity, practicality, affinity, good faith, justice and shared interests.”

“In supporting the economic development of countries, the United Nations should respect the social systems and development paths chosen by countries on their own, put itself in the shoes of host countries, understand their essential needs, solve their key problems, offer them substantial help in their concerted efforts to attain the goals of their domestic programmes, and enable their people to effectively enjoy the dividends of peace. In recent years, the African Union (AU) has vigorously promoted solidarity and unity among African countries in their quest for peace and development, and has made substantive progress in that regard.”

“The United Nations must intensify its input in the field of development, comprehensively advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, vigorously help developing countries improve livelihoods and reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, while paying attention to the advantages of regional initiatives and regional organizations in efforts to form the synergies needed to lay the foundation for attaining sustainable peace by promoting sustainable development.”

“The relevant United Nations agencies should strictly observe their respective mandates in carrying out peacekeeping activities and focus on strengthening the host countries' ability to generate revenues, while concentrating on assisting them in resolving the most urgent problems. Fourthly, sustainable peace and sustainable development are mutually reinforcing and dependent. Peace is not a castle in the sky, as it relies on development for its foundation. Only by giving equal attention to development and peace and by resolving conflict in terms of both symptoms and root causes will successful peace be assured.”

“Thirdly, peacebuilding must set an overall goal of strengthening political security and development capacity in order to promote the transition from a conflict situation to development and reconstruction. While countries differ in their specific conditions and development stages, many countries mired in conflict share a praiseworthy tradition of resolving differences and achieving consensus through consultations. Peacebuilding work should respect the ownership of the countries concerned, advocate seeking common ground while resolving differences and the concept of democratic consultation, adapt to the prevailing conditions in host countries, optimize the tradition of cooperation among countries of the same region, promote social integration and consolidate the fruits of peace.”

“Peacekeeping operations should adjust dynamically in keeping with evolving needs, prioritize support in stages and focus on the central task of peacekeeping in an attempt to lend targeted assistance to efforts to resolve the most urgent and prominent problems facing the host countries. Once peacekeeping operations are decided upon, the role thatpeacekeeping forces will play is key to executing the peacekeeping mandates. The United Nations must seriously consider the role of troop-contributing countries (TCCs), strengthen communications with them, support their capacity-building, improve the quality and equipment of peacekeeping personnel and enhance the ability ofpeacekeeping troops to fulfil their mandates and effectively deal with security threats.”

“Secondly, United Nations peacekeeping operations must strictly comply with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the three principles governing peacekeeping operations, and formulate explicit, viable and focused mandates in keeping with the specific conditions of the countries concerned, while taking into full account the myriad factors affecting the needs and security environments of the host countries. In order to improve the effectiveness of peacekeeping operations a periodic review mechanism should be established in order to ensure the continuing role that peacekeeping operations are expected to play with a view to ensuring the progress and ultimate fulfilment of their mandates.”

“In fighting terrorism, uniform standards must be used. The relevant Security Council resolutions must be strictly implemented and international cooperation in countering terrorism strengthened. In particular, the terrorists' mobility networks and financing channels must be blocked. Efforts must be directed at preventing terrorist organizations from acquiring weapons and keeping violent extremist ideologies from propagating. The United Nations should support synergies forged among regional countries in their fight against terrorism, provide capacity-building assistance to developing countries through bilateral and multilateral channels and eradicate the root causes of conflict and terrorism.”

“In addressing such internal issues, the Council must observe the principle that all countries are sovereign and equal, and that there must be no interference in a country's internal affairs. The Council must also respect the will and leadership role of the countries concerned, provide them with constructive assistance to assist them in advancing the political process, and facilitate reconciliation based on the specific national conditions. In areas plagued by protracted armed conflict, one finds a proliferation of terrorist activities, often with spillover effects. Conflict prevention and de-escalation are closely linked to efforts to counter terrorism. The international community must guard against potential terrorist attacks against the weak links in national or regional security mechanisms.”

“First, conflict prevention must be aimed at maintainingpeaceandsecurity,whiletargetedmeasures, based on the type of conflict and its root causes, must be taken. The most important consideration in resolving disputes between States is to adhere to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the basic norms governing international relations, while safeguarding the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of nations. The Council's work must reflect those principles and include urgiing the parties concerned not to engage in words or deeds that may escalate tensions. Many issues on the Security Council's agenda concern countries' internal conflicts.”

“The fundamental way to maintain lasting peace and common security is to abide by the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, work together on building a community towards a shared future for humankind, promote a governance system featuring broad consultations, relying on joint efforts and shared benefits, and practice a new security concept that is common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable. The United Nations is the central mechanism for the maintenance of common security. At different stages - including conflict-prevention, peacekeeping, peacebuilding and sustainable peace - the Organization has different priorities and focuses concerning those four aspects. However, efforts to achieve the overarching goal are interconnected and must be managed holistically.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): China wishes to thank Egypt for its initiative in convening this open debate. We also wish to thank Deputy Secretary-General Mohammed, Mr. Youssef Mahmoud and Ambassador Gert Rosenthal for their respective briefings. The current international security situation is grave. Factors giving rise to conflicts in various parts of the world have become increasingly complex, with the interweaving of traditional and non-traditional security threats. Countries are closely interdependent, including with regard to their interactive, indivisible security interests.”

“The deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence missile system will not bring a solution to the issue ofthe Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear testing and missile launching. What it will do is seriously undermine the strategic balance of the region. As such, it is detrimental to the strategic security interest of regional countries, including China. China strongly urges the parties concerned to halt the process of this deployment and to dismantle relevant equipment. Realizing denuclearization and durable peace and stability on the Korean peninsula is in the interests of all the parties. China urges the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to respect Council resolutions and to cease taking actions that might further escalate tensions on the peninsula.”

“We hope that this initiative will receive a response and support from the relevant parties. China has taken note that the United States has recently indicated once again that it is not seeking a regime change or a regime collapse in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and that it is in no hurry to push for the reunification of the peninsula. The United States has also indicated that its troops will not push through the thirty-eighth parallel. It is our hope that the United States will translate these "four no's" into concrete policies towards the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Beefing up military deployment on the peninsula is not in the interest of realizing denuclearization there or of maintaining regional peace and stability.”

“Both of our countries put forward a road map for the resolution of this issue, which is based respectively on China's idea of a due approach, which calls for parallel efforts, while moving forward with both the denuclearization of the peninsula and the establishment of a peace mechanism based on the suspension for suspension initiative, which calls for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to suspend its nuclear and missile activities, and for the United States and the Republic of Korea to suspend their large-scale military exercises, as well as on Russia's step-by-step approach. This China-Russia joint initiative is realistic and feasible. It aims to tackle both the symptoms and the root causes of the problem and to seek a solution through an integrated approach.”

“China believes that these are part and parcel of this resolution, and all parties should implement the provisions contained therein fully and earnestly.

“Its unanimous adoption by the Council demonstrates that the international community has a united position with regard to the nuclear issue on the peninsula. There are three major components to this resolution. First, it sets out further sanctions targeting the nuclear and missile programme of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Secondly, the resolution does not intend to impact negatively activities that are not prohibited by the resolution, such as economic activities and cooperation, or food and humanitarian assistance. Thirdly, it calls for the resumption of the Six-Party Talks, commits to finding a solution through peaceful, diplomatic and political means, and stresses the importance of de-escalating tensions on the peninsula by the parties concerned.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): The Security Council resolutions on this subject contain explicit provisions against any launches by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea using ballistic- missile technology. China opposes the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's launching activities, which violate Council resolutions and defy the will of the entire international community. We have always insisted on the importance of denuclearizing the Korean peninsula, upholding peace and stability there and seeking a solution through dialogue and consultation. We have always been firmly opposed to chaos and conflict on the peninsula. In our view, that is what resolution 2371 (2017) is all about.”

“As a permanent member of the Security Council, China will continue to maintain its prudent and responsible approach in addressing the issue of sanctions so as to ensure that the sanctions measures decided by the Security Council will serve the ultimate purpose of the political process and be subject to it, in order for it to play its part in maintaining international peace and security in a constructive and positive manner.”
2017-08-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8018 (2017) · source
“As the situation on the ground and the resolution process evolve, the Security Council should conduct timely evaluations and assessments of the sanctions measures and, as needed, adjust, suspend and, ultimately, terminate them. Imposing sanctions is a very important decision. It should be done properly and strictly in line with decisions taken by the Security Council so as to avoid any attempt outside the framework of the Security Council to impose unilateral sanctions or wilfully expand their scope.”
2017-08-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8018 (2017) · source
“Thirdly, the Security Council should enhance the relevance of sanctions in order to avoid negative consequences. The Council should determinedly focus on the key aspects of issues at hand and be prudent when considering the measures and scope of sanctions. Sanctions should serve the purpose ofconflict resolution. To the greatest extent possible, sanctions measures should have a low negative impact on the general population and third countries. In addition, sanctions measures should not affect the normal legal trade and economic relations of the sanctioned countries nor people's livelihoods and the humanitarian situation in the countries concerned.”
2017-08-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8018 (2017) · source
“The fundamental way out is through the use of political and diplomatic means, such as dialogue and negotiation. In quite a few cases, the weak link in the solution lies not with the level of sanctions implementation, but rather with the lack of progress in the political track. The Security Council's decision on the overall political package should be advanced holistically. The implementation of Security Council resolutions should not be selective. The use of sanctions measures by the Security Council should serve the overall purpose of the political process. It should be conducive to the mediation and good offices efforts by the relevant countries, regional organizations and the United Nations, thereby truly helping to ease the situation on the ground and reach solutions.”
2017-08-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8018 (2017) · source
“First, the use of sanctions by the Security Council must be in full keeping with the provisions of the United Nations Charter. There must be prudence and responsibility when employing sanctions. As a matter of priority, the Security Council should use non-coercive means, such as negotiations, mediation and good offices to respond to the threats to international peace and security. The imposition of sanctions should be predicated upon the exhaustion of non-coercive means. Sanctions are peaceful means and should therefore be implemented in a peaceful manner, rather than being imposed through the use of force. Secondly, the Security Council's decision to impose sanctions must be part of an overall political settlement package. Sanctions are not the end in themselves. Sanctions alone cannot resolve issues.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Egypt for having its initiative to convene today's meeting. I would like to thank Assistant Secretary- General Zerihoun for his briefing. Under the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, sanctions measures, as one of the peaceful means of conflict resolution, play a positive role in maintaining international peace and security. Over the years, the Security Council has established multiple sanctions regimes to address conflict situations. Some of those regimes have served their purpose and have been lifted. At the same time, some sanctions regimes have problems and require careful consideration by the Security Council in order to improve them effectively. We must pay particular attention to the following aspects.”

“At that summit, the SCO Convention on Countering Extremism was signed. China called for enhancing the regional counter-terrorism mechanism and offered once again to host the SCO online counter- terrorism exercise. That shows that China and other relevant countries are making efforts to enhance regional counter-terrorism initiatives. China looks forward to the translation of the outcome of this meeting today into new measures to strengthen international counter-terrorism cooperation.”

“The United Nations counter-terrorism entities should focus on the new trends and characteristics identified in counter-terrorism efforts, and the Organization should fully play its role as a coordinator in multilateral counter-terrorism efforts. Moreover, at the request of Member States, those entities should provide technical support in order to build up their capacity in that regard. It is imperative to step up efforts and cooperation in blocking the use of the Internet and social media by terrorists in acquiring weapons and funds. China participates actively in many multilateral mechanisms, including the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum. The 17th meeting of the heads of State of the SCO was recently held in Kazakhstan.”

“Countries should also continuously improve their legislation, regulations and administrative processes so as to establish an international institutional framework that is guaranteed to prevent terrorist organizations from acquiring weapons from arms-trafficking criminal networks. Thirdly, Member States should step up international and regional counter-terrorist cooperation forming synergies and interconnectivities aimed at preventing terrorist organizations from acquiring weapons. Countries should enhance the sharing and exchange of information pertaining to the ways and means by which terrorist organizations buy weapons. We must draw on one another's good practices and experience in combating illegal trafficking and the transfer and production of weapons and improvised explosive devices.”

“Only through Council-defined uniform standards and comprehensive and effective measures can we cut off the pathways through which terrorist organizations acquire weapons. We must plug all loopholes that allow the transfer of weapons between terrorist organizations or give them opportunities to undertake terrorist acts. Secondly, Member States should play their appropriate role by assuming their primary responsibility to prevent terrorist organizations from acquiring weapons. All countries must, within their jurisdiction, exercise enhanced control and supervision over weapons production, storage and transportation, and their transfer. Countries must suppress any illicit arms trade, trafficking and smuggling, which supply weapons to terrorist organizations.”

The various Security Council resolutions clearly stipulate that all States shall refrain from providing any form of support, including weapons, to entities and persons involved in terrorist acts. All States should fully and strictly implement the relevant Council resolutions, giving particular effect to the provisions on the arms embargo and the monitoring mechanism.”
