“Countries should strengthen their cooperation in financial regulation so as to block the channels of terrorist financing. Secondly, we should resolutely fight against the use of the Internet for terrorist purposes. In recent years, terrorist organizations have consistently used the Internet and other new media to spread extremist ideologies and plot terrorist activities, causing serious harm. The international community should take effective measures to combat the use by terrorist organizations of the Internet to publish audio and video materials portraying terrorist violence, spread extremist ideologies, recruit fighters, raise funds and plan and conduct terrorist activities. Governments should effectively implement the relevant General Assembly and Security Council resolutions and strengthen their regulation of the Internet.”

“It seriously threatens the stability and security of countries of origin, transit and destination, and poses an enormous potential threat ofthe spread ofterrorism. China wishes to make four observations concerning our efforts to effectively curtail the transnational flow of foreign terrorist fighters. First, we should greatly strengthen international cooperation through multilateral and bilateral mechanisms. We should fully leverage the advantages of the United Nations and relevant international organizations and establish a counter-terrorism database as soon as possible so as to share intelligence resources. Various countries, in particular those bordering on conflict zones, should strengthen border control and law enforcement cooperation so as to cut off the flow of terrorists.”

“On the one hand, we should strengthen information-exchange regarding the new forms, developments and trends of terrorism so as to establish and adopt appropriate responses in a timely manner. On the other hand, we should take integrated measures in the political, security, economic and ideological fields, especially to commit ourselves to eliminating the root causes and breeding grounds of terrorism. Recently, the notable increase in the number and movement of foreign terrorist fighters has caused increasing harm and become a new topic for and challenge to ongoing international counter-terrorism endeavours. The presence of foreign terrorist fighters has exacerbated the intensity of regional conflicts and made it more difficult to resolve them.”

“International counter-terrorism activities should give full play to the leading role of the United Nations and the Security Council, observe the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries so as to solidify the widest possible common understanding among Member States and take coordinated actions. International counter- terrorism activities should uphold uniform standards. Terrorism in whatever form, wherever, whenever and against whomever or whatsoever it is conducted, must be resolutely fought against. There must be no double standards, and still less should terrorism be linked to specific ethnic groups or religions. International counter-terrorism activities should address both the symptoms and the root causes of terrorism.”

“The organizational structure of terrorist forces has become more decentralized, with new forms and means of conducting terrorist activities. The phenomenon of the transnational flow of foreign terrorist fighters and the use by terrorist organizations of the Internet to conduct terrorist activities have become more serious. Many young people, incited by extreme ideology, have joined extremist and terrorist activities. Terrorism is the current enemy of humankind as a whole. The international community should closely cooperate and take effective action to combat that scourge.”

Thanks to the joint efforts of the parties concerned, the security situation in Kosovo has generally remained stable. The number of security incidents resulting from inter-community friction has decreased from previous levels. However, at the same time, Kosovo as a society still faces elements of instability in terms of development. China commends Serbia for actively working to find a political solution to the question of Kosovo.”

I welcome His Excellency Mr. Dacie, the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Serbia, for attending today's meeting.

“Meanwhile, we have also dedicated ourselves to continuing to strengthen domestic legislation and enforcement. Efforts to stop the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons are of great importance to maintaining regional peace and stability. They are the guarantee of national stability and development by building an arms-free world of peace and stability, providing for the protection of women and children and ensuring their safety and security, which is a common dream of all countries. China is ready to join the rest of the international community in an unremitting effort to promote the elimination of the illicit trade, resolve the problem of excessive stockpiles and stop the abuse of such weapons.”

“The Chinese Government has always opposed the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons, and takes a responsible and prudent approach to the export of such weapons, abiding strictly by the principles of not undermining regional peace and stability or interfering in internal affairs of recipient countries. We do not transfer arms to countries or regions that are under Security Council arms embargoes or to non-State actors and individuals. The Chinese Government has put in place a comprehensive export control system, including end-use certificates and export licences, among other things. In recent years we have vigorously supported and taken an active part in international and regional cooperation in the fight against the illicit trade in firearms.”

“The international community should take measures to strengthen institutions and build capacities for combating the illicit trade. Fourthly, international cooperation should be strengthened and assistance increased. All law enforcement agencies should improve their cooperation and coordination and their relations with INTERPOL and other multilateral institutions so as to strengthen the exchange of information and practical cooperation through bilateral and multilateral channels, thus preventing the flow of small arms and light weapons into the hands of terrorists and transnational organized criminal groups. Developed countries should increase their aid to developing nations in order to improve their capacity for stockpile management, combating smuggling and confiscating and destroying illegal firearms.”

“We hope the soon-to-be-held second Open-ended Meeting of Governmental Experts under the Programme of Action will bring progress on efforts to combat the illicit trade at the national, regional and international levels to new heights. Thirdly, control at the source should be strengthened in order to break the chain of supply. National Governments have the primary responsibility in fighting the illicit trade, and all countries should comply strictly with Security Council resolutions on arms embargoes, adopting responsible policies towards the arms trade and undertaking not to transfer arms to non-State actors. Meanwhile, domestic controls should be tightened in order to prevent small arms and light weapons from flowing into illegal channels.”

“Meanwhile, we should intensify our efforts in the areas of peacekeeping and post-conflict reconstruction in order to provide solid assistance to the countries concerned in achieving economic development and social stability and to halt the abuse of such weapons where it begins. Secondly, the United Nations should play a major, leading role in combating the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. Every country should continue to fully implement the United Nations Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects in order to enhance the multilateral process in combating that trade.”

“The Security Council should continue to play a positive role in strengthening international efforts to combat the illicit trade in such weapons and to prevent the damaging humanitarian consequences of their proliferation. We would like to make the following points. First, we should take a multifaceted approach in order to address the problem in an integrated manner. The international community should learn from the lessons of history. Political and diplomatic means should be used to settle disputes in order to maintain international and regional peace and stability and eliminate the motives behind the illicit trade in small arms.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): At the outset, I would like to thank Lithuania for organizing this meeting. My thanks also go to the Secretary- General, the High Commissioner for Human Rights and Mr. Diakite for their briefings. The current international security situation is complex and volatile. Terrorism is spreading and organized crime is on the rise. The dangers created by the illicit trade in and excessive stockpiling of small and light weapons have become more prominent and severe. Globalization and the revolution in technologies, including information technology, have added many new features to that trade. The fight against illicit trafficking in small and light weapons has become increasingly complicated and difficult.”

“As such, they have become the main reason for the deteriorating situation in Syria. The international community should give full play to the central role of the United Nations and the Security Council while categorically stepping up its efforts to roll back and fight against terrorism. China attaches great importance to the humanitarian situation in Syria. We sympathize with the Syrian people for their suffering. Through various channels and in various ways, we have extended material and cash support to the Syrian people, including assistance for refugees outside Syria, in amounts totalling over Â¥230 million. In accordance with the developments in the situation and actual needs, China will continue to lend assistance to the Syrian people, including Syrian refugees outside the country, to the best of its ability.”

“Through negotiations and dialogue, a middle way should be found that is in keeping with the circumstances in Syria, while accommodating the various interests, thereby providing a definitive solution to the Syrian question. During this process, it is imperative to consistently comply with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations as well as the basic norms governing international relations, while maintaining the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Syria. Thirdly, stepping up counter-terrorism efforts is key. Lately, terrorist organizations and extremist forces have been ravaging and wreaking havoc in Syria and other countries, harming and killing people while deliberately blocking the delivery of humanitarian assistance and interrupting the implantation of ceasefire agreements.”

“China calls upon the donors to promptly honour their commitments in full so as to mitigate the pressures resulting from the shortage of funds facing the United Nations. Secondly, pushing for a political solution to the Syrian question is the fundamental way out. The international community should unswervingly pursue a political solution, give full play to the mediation of the United Nations as the main channel, and lend full support to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and his Special Envoy, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, in their mediation efforts, while promoting an immediate end to hostilities and violence among the Syrian parties.”

“First, the top priority is to step up assistance, based upon the needs of host countries. At present, the Syrian humanitarian situation is continuing to deteriorate. Syria and its neighbours have increasing needs for humanitarian assistance. The range of that assistance has expanded from the traditional forms - material and funding - to infrastructure, education, social order, border control and so forth. In accordance with the priorities as decided by the host countries, the international community should extend targeted support, to match the needs of the host countries, with an eye on coordination. The assistance efforts of the international community should abide by the guiding principles of the United Nations on humanitarian relief, while respecting the will of the host countries.”

“Last month, at the Syrian humanitarian assistance donor conference held in Kuwait, donors pledge contributions totalling $3.6 billion. China appreciates those efforts. Rome was not built in a day. For the Syrian crisis to develop into what it has become today is the result of a combination of convoluted factors involving historical grievances and present-day frictions. Therefore, a solution simply cannot be found overnight. The international community should take a comprehensive approach to try to find a practical, feasible and long- lasting solution - one that tackles both the symptoms and root causes and mitigates the pressures and the burdens on Syria, its neighbours and the Middle East region. For that purpose, China wishes to make the following three points.”

“Presently, the Syrian crisis has expanded well beyond its domestic borders, thus posing a serious threat to the peace and stability of its neighbouring countries and the region at large. The international community has made unremitting efforts to address the grim security and humanitarian situation in Syria. Its neighbours - Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt - have accepted nearly 4 million Syrian refugees and provided them with basic services. The United Nations and other humanitarian agencies have overcome myriad difficulties in conducting humanitarian relief operations in Syria and the neighbouring countries, in an effort to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people. International donors have been most generous in lending support to the relevant countries and the United Nations.”

“The international community, including the relevant United Nations agencies, should vigorously advocate the spirit of the dialogue of civilizations, namely, respect, openness and inclusiveness; promote enhanced exchanges and mutual learning among people in all circles of society, including young people; and foster an enabling social environment in which all ethnic groups, cultures and religions are treated as equals and coexist harmoniously and peacefully.

“All countries should strengthen their efforts to educate and provide employment opportunities for youth. The United Nations and other international organizations should also continue to play an active role in helping the countries concerned, in particular developing countries, upgrade their capacity to nurture and assist young people. Fourthly, dialogue among civilizations should be strengthened to combat terrorist and extremist ideologies. Diversity among civilizations is the basic feature of human society, and dialogue among civilizations is an important path to achieving mutual understanding, respect and peaceful coexistence among different ethnicities, cultures and religions. It is also an effective tool for helping the youth reject Violence and eschew terrorist and extremist ideas.”

Thirdly, the root causes of terrorism and Violent extremism must be eliminated. Poverty, unemployment and underdevelopment are fertile ground for terrorism and Violent extremism, and major factors that make youth susceptible to the misguidance of those forces. The international community should pay close attention to the issue of development and actively help the countries concerned with their economic recovery and development.”

When it comes to civilizations, one cannot speak of superiority or inferiority. Inclusiveness brings about coexistence; exclusiveness brings about hatred. The international community, including the relevant United Nations agencies working in the Middle East, should promote respect, openness and inclusiveness, which embody the spirit of dialogue among civilizations.

My thanks also go to Patriarch Sako and Iraqi parliamentarian Dakhil for their statements. Over the recent period, terrorism and Violent extremism in the Middle East have been rampant. Massive human rights Violations, in particular violations against ethnic and religious minorities, have been frequent, leading to huge casualties and the destruction of some significant cultural sites, which has drawn great concern from the international community.”

“China is ready tojoin the parties concerned in a concerted effort to step up cooperation and effectively improve the situation of children and other vulnerable groups in armed conflict so that they can stay safely away from the scourge of war and the problems resulting from displacement and homelessness and soon lead peaceful, stable and happy lives.”

“The protection of vulnerable groups, such as children, from being harmed by armed conflict is the shared responsibility of the international community. The key lies in resolving conflicts and achieving development. The international community should provide countries affected by conflicts with financial and technical assistance, and aid them in economic development and in improving their people's livelihoods, thereby lifting them out of poverty as soon as possible and removing the root causes of conflict.”
