“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank Jordan for convening this meeting on behalf of the Arab countries, and Assistant Secretary- General Zerihoun for his briefing. Recently, the conflict between Palestine and Israel has further escalated, leading to a worsening security situation in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza. China is deeply worried about that development. We are concerned about the military crackdowns by Israeli forces, which have led to Palestinian civilian casualties, including women and children. The excessive use of force, which causes casualties among innocent civilians, is unacceptable. Returning violence for violence does not help resolve issues; instead, it will only erode mutual trust and exacerbate conflict and confrontation.”

“It should strengthen coordination with the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and UN-Women, among others, in line with their respective responsibilities. With respect to addressing issues of women and peace and security, United Nations agencies should give full play to the existing mechanisms, tapping their potential to improve their effectiveness. They should be cautious about setting up new mechanisms. At the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women that was held on last month, President Xi Jinping announced new commitments in support of the global cause of women. First, with respect to funds, China will donate $10 million to UN-Women to support the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Programme of Action, as well as the relevant Goal of the post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda.”

“In their rebuilding efforts, post-conflict countries should strengthen the rule of law, eliminate discrimination, bias and acts of violence against women; to vigourously promote gender equality; to remove the roots and soil in people's mindsets that inhabit women's peace and development; and to facilitate harmonious social development in post-conflict countries so that society will be more inclusive and dynamic. Fourthly, the existing mechanisms of the United Nations should be fully enabled to act so that each can play its own role, creating synergy. The Security Council should fully perform its primary role of maintaining international peace and security, with a focus on properly addressing women and peace and security.”

“The international community should help conflict-affected countries to actively carry out post-conflict reconstruction, and in the affected countries the focus should be on capacity-building and socioeconomic development in order to remove the root causes of conflict and ensure that women and the population as a whole will have a fair share of the dividends of development. The international community should provide development assistance and technical support to developing countries in their efforts to achieve gender equality and women's empowerment, and attention should be paid to providing guidance to women's organizations and civil society in playing a positive and constructive role. Thirdly, efforts should be made to shape a harmonious and inclusive social culture.”

“The international community should stand firmly by the values ofpeace, development and win-win cooperation; vigourously take forward the political process of the relevant conflict-affected countries to promote national reconciliation and resolve differences through dialogue and consultations; and provide security protection and humanitarian assistance to conflict-affected women. At the same time, effective measures must be taken to ensure that women have full rights to participate in every stage of peace processes and that their voice and demands are heard. Secondly, we need to tackle both symptoms and root causes in order to promote the simultaneous development of various issues in conflict-ridden countries, including women's issues and economic and social development.”

“With the efforts of the broad membership, of United Nations bodies and of regional and subregional organizations, the international community in recent years has made progress in implementing resolution 1325 (2000), with major achievements in promoting a greater role for women in peace and security. On the other hand, the present international security situation remains complex and grave. Regional conflicts crop up here and there. Women often bear the brunt of rampant terrorism and violent extremism. The international community has a long way to go in protecting women's rights in conflict. In that regard, I would like to stress the following points. First, we need to step up efforts to find political solutions to hotspot issues and foster an international environment favourable to women's development.”

“The President of China Xi Jinping and representatives from over 140 countries, including more than 80 Heads of State and Government, attended the meeting. The summit was the first of its kind in which commitments on women were made at the State leadership level. It is another milestone of the international cause of women following the Beijing Conference and is of trailblazing significance. The leaders of countries committed to further implement the outcome of the Beijing Conference. That is of great and far-reaching significance for the development of the global cause of women. Resolution 2242 (2015), which was just adopted, also acknowledged the global summit on women.”

The peace process in South Sudan has therefore entered a new stage. China welcomes that development. We appreciate the tremendous efforts undertaken by the African Union (AU) and IGAD in that regard. It is China's hope that resolution 2241 (2015) will play a vigorous and constructive role in moving South Sudan towards the early achievement of peace and stability.”

The causes of illegal migration are complex.”

Thirdly, the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) should play its full role. Under the leadership of its head, Ms. Sandra Honore, the Mission has played an important role in promoting elections in Haiti and in enhancing Haiti's security and stability. China expresses its appreciation in this regard.”

“We hope that the international community and the regional organizations concerned will continue to provide vigorous support and help for the elections in Haiti by providing monitoring and coordination on the basis of respect for Haiti's ownership role. Secondly, efforts should be focused on helping Haiti in its development. Lack of development is the root cause of Haiti's political and social problems. Only development can solve these problems and provide effective guarantees for the fundamental rights of the Haitian people. The Government of Haiti should take advantage of the current momentum in economic growth to scale up infrastructure construction, build its capacity in the fields of health, disease prevention and disaster reduction, safeguard food security and improve the humanitarian situation on the ground.”

“The task of providing humanitarian relief to displaced people who need to be resettled remains enormous. Peacebuilding has a long way to go. China hopes that the international community will focus its assistance in the following three areas. First, active efforts should be made to move forward with Haiti's elections. The second round of the legislative elections, the presidential runoff and the local polls will take place on 25 October. Whether this round of elections will turn out to be successful will bear significantly on the political process in Haiti. China hopes that all the Haitian parties will refrain from violence, maintain their unity and work together to create a good atmosphere for the elections.”

Thanks to the strong support of the international community and the preparations made in all walks of life in Haiti, the first round of the legislative elections took place in August. The elections as a whole were peaceful and orderly, which was positively received by the international community. Atpresent, the security situation in Haiti is stable. Its economy continues to grow. These are positive factors that are laying a foundation for the smooth conduct of elections in Haiti. Nevertheless, the situation in Haiti remains complex and fragile. Cases of cholera are on the rise.”

China supports Afghanistan in taking advantage of its geographic location and in strengthening its cooperation in trade, energy and interconnectivity with the rest of the region and in creating a good environment for harmonious coexistence and common development.”

We hope that the different sectors in Afghanistan will strengthen the country's unity, continue to resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, and remain committed to the broad picture of national reconstruction and socioeconomic development. Secondly, China is ready to continue to play a positive role in taking forward the Afghan reconciliation process. China has always supported this reconciliation process.

“The rebuilding of State institutions and the economic and social development of the country continue to face challenges and complexities and require long-term effort on the part of various sectors within Afghanistan. Also required is the international community's assistance and support based on respect for Afghanistan's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. I would like to emphasize the following points. First, China supports the Afghan National Unity Government in the effective exercise of authority and in the strengthening of its governance. In the nearly one year since the Afghan National Unity Government took office, positive results have been achieved in Afghanistan's political, economic and social development and in the rule of law, which is quite encouraging.”

Together with Africa, China is ready to seize the opportunity to step up the implementation of the Initiative on China-Africa Cooperative Partnership for Peace and Security so as to facilitate the political settlement of hot-spot issues and jointly promote peace, stability and development on the African continent.

Secondly, we must deploy our respective strengths in order to enhance complementarity and coordination. China supports regional organizations in fully utilizing their own experiences and advantages in regional, historical and cultural expertise in playing their unique role in resolving regional conflicts. When cooperating with each other, the United Nations and regional organizations should use their respective strengths to complement and promote each other's efforts. Regional organizations should strengthen contacts and cooperation among themselves, draw on one another's experiences and learn from each other.”

Thirdly, coordination and synergies must be strengthened in the face of such non-traditional security challenges as the Ebola epidemic. No country can address these on its own.

“First, poverty alleviation and development must be accelerated so as to lay a solid material foundation for the prevention of the recurrence of the Ebola epidemic.

I listened carefully to the statements made by Ambassador Antonio, Mr. Thoresson and Dr. Fallah. The Ebola epidemic broke out in West Africa in late 2013. It was the most severe outbreak of the disease, with the broadest geographical scale and the longest duration, in the 40 years since the virus was first discovered. The virus has posed not only a serious threat to the lives, health and security of the inhabitants of the affected countries, but also challenges to the economic and social development of those countries.”
