“Fourthly, regional organizations such as the Pacific Islands Forum and the Caribbean Community should play an even greater role in responding to non-traditional security challenges and form synergy by formulating a unified strategy and coordinated course of action. Fifthly, relevant agencies and organs of the United Nations should work within their mandates and bring into full play their respective advantages. The General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council and the specialized agencies all have their own mandates and functions. When helping SIDS address challenges and pursue comprehensive development, there should be a clear division of labour, so as to avoid redundancy in functions and waste of resources.”

“The international community should strengthen international cooperation and help SIDS to better respond to the above-mentioned challenges. When addressing the challenges of non-traditional threats, the voice of SIDS should be better heeded and their sovereignty better respected, and constructive assistance should be provided in accordance with their needs. Thirdly, more attention should be paid to the capacity-building of SIDS. The emphasis should be on providing comprehensive and coordinated support in the area of information-sharing, technical training and equipment assistance.”

“Efforts should also be made to promote South-South cooperation, explore innovative means of funding, strengthen infrastructure development, establish interconnectivity and promote the common development of SIDS. The foreign debts of SIDS should be reduced so that their own development capacity can be increased. Developed countries should honour their commitments in the areas of resources and capacity-building and step up the transfer of technology so as to help those countries to respond to special challenges, such as climate change. Secondly, the non-traditional security threats faced by SIDS should be properly addressed. In this globalized world of ours, no country can address these non-traditional security challenges on its own.”

“Since development holds the master key to a solution to all problems, the international community should step up the implementation of the measures found in the Barbados Programme of Action, the Mauritius Strategy, the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action, and the outcome document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, designed to help SIDS achieve sustainable development. In the meantime, efforts should be made to establish, develop and deepen partnerships with SIDS and establish mechanisms, in order to further open markets to SIDS in support of their participation in the global economy and international economic and technical cooperation. All ofthat will create an inviting environment for the development of SIDS.”

“However, for historical reasons and geographical and resource limitations, SIDS are faced with the task of pursuing further economic development while faced with such non-traditional security threats as organized transnational crimes, rampant piracy and climate change. The international community should pay close to attention to the concerns of SIDS and continue to strive to safeguard their interests. In that connection, I would like to offer the following points. First, a sound concept of common development should be established. In order to promote the comprehensive development of SIDS, problems should be addressed at their roots.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): China welcomes the initiative of New Zealand to hold this open debate on the security and peace challenges facing small island developing States (SIDS). China welcomes Foreign Minister McCully to New York to personally preside over the meeting. I am grateful to Prime Minister Malielegaoi, Prime Minister Simpson Miller and Minister Adam for their respective briefings. SIDS represent a major driving force in promoting the realization of global peace, security and development. In recent years, SIDS have become united and strong and active in international cooperation and thus have made major contributions to the maintenance of global peace and promotion of common development.”

“It will not help to ease the grief of the bereaved families of the victims of the crash of Flight MH-l7, nor will it help to establish the facts or bring the perpetrators to justice. For these reasons, China abstained in the voting on the draft resolution.”
2015-07-29 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7498 (2015) · source
“China participated in the consultations on the draft resolution and has all along called on the members of the Council to remain united and meet one another halfway, accommodate one another's concerns and avoid political confrontation. If the Security Council could have achieved consensus on the next step to be taken concerning that incident, it would have sent out a positive signal to the effect that the international community was maintaining a common position on this issue. It would also have helped to establish the truth of the incident as soon as possible. Under circumstances in which some members of the Council still have major concerns about the draft resolution, to forcibly push forward a vote could only result in division among the States members of the Council.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): A year ago, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH-17 crashed in eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people aboard. China is deeply saddened by that tragedy and wishes once again to express its sympathy to the bereaved families of the victims and to the countries concerned. We support, in accordance with resolution 2166 (2014), the holding of an objective, impartial and independent international investigation into the incident and the bringing of the perpetrators to justice. The current focus should be on establishing the truth behind the incident and seeking justice for the victims. China understands the feelings of the sponsors of the draft resolution and in particular those of the bereaved families of the victims of the crash of Flight MH-17, as well as their urgent desire that the perpetrators be punished.”

“Thirdly, it is necessary to constantly take stock of experiences and good practices during the implementation process, maintain the effectiveness of the relevant mechanism and make positive efforts to maintain world peace, promote regional stability and improve relations among all sides. China has all along worked constructively for fruitful negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue. We will continue to make new contributions to implement the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in a responsible manner.”

“First, the Council's resolution and the Joint Comprehensive Plan ofAction must be implemented in a balanced, precise and comprehensive manner. All sides should effectively fulfil the commitments they have made and seriously and effectively implement all the provisions of the agreement. Secondly, in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, it is essential to appropriately resolve the differences that may arise during the implementation process, demonstrate goodwill and stay the course for the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.”
2015-07-20 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7488 (2015) · source
“The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action also serves as a successful example of how to address other regional and international hot-spot issues through political and diplomatic means. Thirdly, it is possible to achieve success so long as confidence is maintained, political will is demonstrated and tireless efforts are made in the course of seeking political solutions. The Council's adoption of resolution 2231 (2015), which endorses the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, is an important step in the process of implementing the agreement. This is a good beginning. Implementing the agreement over the next 10 years will be even more important, during which it will be essential to adhere to the following principles.”

“A new chapter has also begun on Iran's relationship with all sides. The conclusion of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action brings far-reaching inspiration to contemporary international relations. First, the setting up of a new type of international relationship centred on mutual benefit and win-win outcomes has a strong vitality. The Iranian nuclear issueconcerns the immediate - and even core - interests of all sides. Without a multi-win and all-Win spirit, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action would not have been achieved. Even if it had been, it would not have lasted for long. Secondly, it is essential to stay the course in seeking political solutions to major issues. However the difficult the process may be, a political solution is always the only practical and viable path.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): A few minutes ago, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2231 (2015), on the Iranian nuclear issue, endorsing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action reached on that matter by the P-5+l - China, France, the Russian Federation, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States of America - in Vienna on on 14 July. In spite of ups and downs, the efforts made with regard to the Iran nuclear issue over more than the past 10 years have finally resulted in a political solution. With the conclusion of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the international nuclear non-proliferation regime has been safeguarded. Iran has made a political commitment not to develop nuclear weapons, while at the same time it has been given the legitimate right to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.”

“The international community should respect and support the choices of the Government and people of the country concerning their nationl development; adopt a balanced and cautious approach to the question of Bosnia and Herzegovina; fully respect the leadership, ownership and initiatives of the people of the country; facilitate unity and harmonious development among all ethnic groups of the country; and promote the sustainable economic and social development and long-term security and stability of the country. China stands ready to work with the international community to make a due contribution to the lasting peace, stability and development of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

“In such circumstances, forcing a vote on a contentious draft resolution goes against the spirit of promoting reconciliation within Bosnia and Herzegovina and among regional countries, and undermines unity among the Council members. China regrets that, and was therefore compelled to abstain in the voting on the draft resolution. China has always respected the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We believe that the country has the right to choose its own path of development and its own foreign policy.”

“In addressing issues related to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the international community, including the Council, should bear in mind the need to maintain peace and stability in the country and the region, and promote dialogue and reconciliation among all the ethnic groups of Bosnia and Herzegovina and among the countries of the region so as to achieve harmonious coexistence. That should be the consensus of the Council. China notes that the draft resolution introduced by some countries on the commemoration of the Srebrenica event has given rise to controversy within Bosnia and the countries of the region, and that some Council members have strong reservations on the draft.”

“The international community should seize this opportunity to promote continued progress in the efforts of the country's ethnic groups in nation-building, the full implementation of the Dayton Accord, and the achievement of greater progress in all fields. The conflict that occurred in the former Yugoslavia two decades ago is a dark page in history. China expresses its condolences for the deaths of innocent civilians in Srebrenica and elsewhere. The international community should reflect deeply on history so as to prevent the reoccurrence of such a tragedy.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank Deputy Secretary-General Eliasson and High Commissioner for Human Rights Al Hussein for their briefings. In recent years, thanks to the joint efforts of the Government and people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the situation there has remained stable overall. The economy is growing and political process and the rule of law are making headway. Bosnia and Herzegovina is an important country of the Balkans. The interests of the region and the international community at large are served by the maintenance of peace, stability and development and the achievement of harmonious coexistence among all ethnic groups there. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accord.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): Currently, Security Council members still have grave concerns about the draft resolution to commemorate the Srebrenica event (S/2015/508). To force a vote on a draft resolution on which major differences still remain is not in conformity with national reconciliation within Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the region at large. It will also affect the unity ofthe members of the Council. China believes that the Council members can continue their exchange of views on the draft resolution, but should refrain from hasty actions.”

“China appreciates the work done by the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) in helping to stabilize the situation, promote peace talks and protect civilians. China has always maintained that a United Nations peacekeeping operation should fully respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country concerned, fully heed the views of the country concerned and, in keeping with changes in the local situation and actual needs, adjust its mandate and scale. The Security Council should attach importance to the position of the Sudanese Government on the need for an exit strategy to be formulated for UNAMID. We welcome and support the setting up of a joint working group on this issue between the United Nations Secretariat, the Sudanese Government and the African Union.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): China voted in favour of resolution 2228 (2015), which was just adopted. China has followed the issue of Darfur with great attention and appreciates the efforts made by the Sudanese Government to stabilize the situation in Darfur and promote the political process and economic and social development in Darfur. The international community should urge the parties concerned, especially the rebel forces in Darfur, to adhere to a path leading to a political solution, to participate in and implement the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur and to achieve an early and comprehensive solution to the question, so as to lay a foundation for the development and reconstruction of the region.”

“Fourthly, it is important to ensure that the Commission's advisory function is fully realized. The PBC has a great amount of information at its disposal, as well as a deep understanding of such subjects as how to consolidate peace and strengthen host countries' capacities and institution-building. The Commission should therefore continue to strengthen its relations with the Council and provide it with active advice. The Council, for its part, should also improve its coordination with the Commission and its various country configurations so as to arrive at the kind of comprehensive understanding that will enable it to provide guidance on its peacebuilding efforts.”

“Thirdly, it is important to strengthen the PBC's coordinating role. The Commission's work covers arange of areas, including peace, security, development and society, in which there are many important participants, such as host country Governments, the various social sectors, United Nations agencies - particularly the Council, the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council - international and regional organizations and international financial institutions. There is a need for a division of labour as well as coordination among the various participants. It is to be hoped that the PBC will strengthen its coordination among the parties in the field of peacebuilding so that they can play to their respective strengths, in accordance with their mandates, and form synergies.”

“It is important to focus on strengthening communication with host countries and to make timely adjustments that accord with their Views. Secondly, it is important to tailor interventions so they can adapt to changing circumstances. Post- conflict countries can find themselves in many different situations, and peacebuilding efforts should therefore come up with strategies that are country-specific, based on the circumstances and needs prevailing in individual host countries. Social reconciliation and economic and social development are key to ensuring lasting peace, and should be a natural focus for peacebuilding. While work can also be done in other areas, it should accord with host countries' needs and does not have to be all- embracing, thus avoiding the mistakes of efforts that are penny-wise and pound-foolish.”

“At the beginning of this year, the Security Council and General Assembly jointly launched a comprehensive review of the peacebuilding architecture of the United Nations, aimed at further improving our peacebuilding efforts and promoting the PBC's comprehensive implementation of the mandates of the Council and the Assembly. In that regard, I would like to make the following points about our peacebuilding work. First, it is essential that we insist on ownership by the countries concerned, since that represents the foundation of peacebuilding efforts and the best way to ensure results. The international community should respect the sovereignty and ownership of the host countries, intervening only at their request and supporting them in accordance with the priorities and road maps formulated by them.”

“A couple of days ago the PBC successfully held its annual session, during which there were in-depth discussions onsuchtopics as financingforpeacebuilding, and significant consensus was reached. Today we are seeing traditional and non-traditional security threats intertwined, with conflicts in some countries spilling over to others in a major way, while some post-conflict countries are dealing with the risk of relapse back into conflict. Consolidating the peace that has already been achieved in such countries and attaining comprehensive economic and social development - these are the issues that the international community must reflect on in depth.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank Ambassadors Patriota and Skoog for their briefings. Establishing a peacebuilding architecture has been extremely important to the ability of the United Nations to effectively fulfil its obligations under its Charter. As the primary entity of that architecture, the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) has actively coordinated the international community's support to countries emerging from conflict, intensified its contributions to peacekeeping, supported the countries of West Africa in responding appropriately to the Ebola epidemic, promoted a comprehensive review of the peacebuilding architecture and generally done a great deal of productive work.”

“Such cooperation can help it respond effectively to joint challenges and threats, such as those represented by terrorism and drugs. We would like to congratulate Afghanistan for its participation, for the first time, as an observer at the meetings of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization held in April, and we will work to promote the continuing and constructive role of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and other regional entities in the Afghanistan issue. China is looking forward to the fifth foreign ministerial meeting of the Istanbul Process, to be held this year in Pakistan, and believes it will produce positive results. This year marks the sixtieth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Afghanistan. It is also a year of friendship and cooperation between the two countries.”

“While respecting the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Afghanistan, the international community should proactively support the country's new Government as it creates its administrative programme, honour its aid commitments and strengthen Afghanistan's self-reliance in working to achieve social and economic development. We support the efforts of the United Nations and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) to address the country's issues. We hope that UNAMA will improve its communication with the Afghan Government so as enhance synergy in the promotion of peace and reconstruction. Fifthly, we support Afghanistan in its efforts to strengthen neighbourly and friendly relations with other countries in the region and improve its participation in regional cooperation.”

Fourthly, China supports Afghanistan's efforts to advance peace and reconstruction, and we hope to see those efforts supported vigorously by the international community.”

China welcomes the ongoing assistance being provided by countries in the region, and we hope that the international community will support and coordinate with the Afghan Government and people's efforts with a View to creating an external environment conducive to the country's national reconciliation process. Thirdly, the situation in Afghanistan is still challenging. Security incidents are quite frequent and have led to massive civilian casualties.”

In that regard, I would like to make the following comments. First, China welcomes the recently formed Afghan National Unity Government and the creation of the Special Commission on Election Reform, which should be able to actively advance the process of electoral reform.”

“That would help to strengthen the international community's fight against that heinous behaviour. The international community should fully utilize the resources and means available now, adopt comprehensive measures and policies and work on multiple fronts to step up the fight against the phenomenon of child abduction so as to effectively halt those acts. Measures should include, first, strengthening the sharing of information and intelligence while trying to rescue those abducted children; secondly, strengthening international cooperation to ensure that those responsible for child abduction will be brought to justice; and, thirdly, improving the rescue and resettlement of abducted children to ensure their smooth reintegration and rehabilitation.”

“In post-conflict rebuilding efforts, comprehensive measures must be taken to ensure that child victims of armed conflicts are smoothly reintegrated into society and to provide a favourable, secure and social environment for the health and growth of children. UNICEF, UNESCO, the World Bank and other relevant agencies should draw on their respective advantages, strengthen coordination and cooperation, and support the countries involved in conflicts in their efforts to eliminate poverty, provide universal education and promote sustainable development. Fourthly, we must give priority to resolving the issue of child abductions in armed conflicts. China supports the addition of child abduction in armed conflicts as a criterion for being listed in the annex to the Secretary-General's annual report.”

It should therefore strengthen preventive diplomacy and make more use of the measures provided for in Chapter VI of the Charter of the United Nations, such as mediation, good offices, dialogue and negotiation. It should support and encourage parties to resolve their differences peacefully and to eliminate the root causes of the problem of children caught up in armed conflicts. Secondly, we must respect the principle of national ownership by the country concerned and create a solid foundation for the protection of children. Governments bear the primary responsibility for the protection of children in conflicts in their own countries.”

“Barbaric acts against children are still occurring from time to time. In particular, the phenomenon of child abduction in armed conflicts has become increasingly acute and should command the serious attention of the international community. Parties to conflicts are responsible for the full protection of children in armed conflict. China supports the unrelenting efforts of the international community to protect children in armed conflicts. I would like to emphasize the following points. First, we need to tackle the issue at its roots by providing a sound environment for the growth of children. The best way to protect children in conflict is to prevent, reduce and resolve conflicts at their roots. That is far more meaningful than remedial measures after the eruption of conflict.”

China calls on the parties concerned to keep calm, exercise restraint, consolidate the hard-won ceasefire and press ahead with a political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis in order to achieve peace and tranquillity in Ukraine at an early date. The international community should make joint efforts in that direction. The Council's discussion should also play a constructive role in that regard.

The Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2202 (2015), endorsing the package of measures for the implementation of the Minsk agreements by the parties concerned, which reflected support for a political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. After the Council's adoption of the resolution, progress was made in such areas as the ceasefire, the withdrawal of heavy weapons and the establishment of working groups, as outlined in the Minsk package of measures.”

Chinese President Xi Jinping has stressed that China will push forward with parallel counter-terrorism efforts at the international and domestic levels. China will continue to strictly implement the relevanty Security Council resolutions, step up its efforts to fight terrorism in accordance with the law, and severely punish violent and terrorist crimes.”

“Internet companies and operators must exercise self-discipline. We need to formulate a global code of conduct for businesses in that area as soon as possible. Thirdly, we must remain highly vigilant against the backflow of terrorist fighters, which could pose a serious threat to the countries and regions concerned, and even to international peace and stability. The international community should give its full attention to that problem, strengthen coordination and effectively respond to the problem of the backflow of foreign terrorist fighters. Fourthly, countries should work together to punish those who spread extremist ideologies and close facilities used for that purpose, in accordance with the law.”
