26. “Without peace and development in Africa, the prosperity and stability of the world will be impossible to achieve. The international community should vigorously support African countries in addressing African problems with African means, and promote regional and subregional organizations, such as the African Union, in playing a bigger role in advancing peace, security and development. Moreover, we should also focus on the issues of underdevelopment and insufficient infrastructure faced by Africa in order to effectively help the continent to translate its abundant human and natural resources into the driving force for economic development and substantive benefits for Africans.”

Some 70 per cent of the items on the Council's agenda are related to Africa, while two-thirds of peacekeeping missions are deployed there. The interlinkages among peace, security and development are best demonstrated on the African continent.”

28. “That would be conducive to the stabilization of post-conflict situations, the promotion of political reconciliation and the consolidation of existing peace. Fourthly, we should intensify overall planning and coordination to create synergy. Relevant United Nations bodies and international organizations responsible for peace, security and development should leverage their own strengths and carry out planning and coordination in order to maximize synergy. Meanwhile, they should increase coordination, respect their own mandates and division of labour, and avoid duplication of work.”

29. “Thirdly, we need to focus on peacebuilding to prevent conflict relapse. In post-conflict countries and regions, the international community should prioritize reconstruction in all development, political and security areas, with special attention to the promotion of coordinated economic and social development. The key is to not only provide help to post-conflict countries but to also develop their ability to help themselves. The governance capacities of the countries involved need to be effectively strengthened and their ability to provide basic services enhanced so that development and reconstruction can be advanced in all sectors. Meanwhile, attention should also be given to youth employment and women's empowerment so that the public can enjoy early peace dividends.”

30. “Developed countries should further assist developing countries in official development assistance, debt relief, market openness and technology transfer and help them to achieve the objectives of poverty eradication and the promotion of development. Secondly, we should focus on mediation and good offices to provide the basis for development. The United Nations and the Security Council should strongly uphold the culture of peace and reconciliation and fully implement the responsibilities of mediation and good offices entrusted to it by Chapter VI of the Charter by further strengthening mediation capabilities andimproving the means of mediation so as to play a bigger role in the peaceful resolution of disputes, thereby laying a solid foundation for the early achievement of peace and development.”

31. “This demonstrates the Council's attention to the nexus between peace, security and development and to the significance of addressing the importance of development to the promotion of international peace and security. In that connection, I would like to highlight the following points. First, we need to consider increased investment in development to eliminate the root causes of conflict. Poverty and underdevelopment are often major causes of conflicts, crises and terrorism. The international community and the United Nations in particular should attach greater importance to the advancement of the international development agenda. Developing countries, constrained by historical factors and the conditions of development, are faced with daunting challenges in economic, development and social progress.”

Russia has invited the Syrian Government and the opposition to hold a dialogue in Moscow at the end of the month. China welcomes those initiatives. We are in favour of all efforts conducive to resolving the conflict in Syria, enhancing mutual trust, alleviating people's suffering and promoting a political settlement. We hope that all the parties in Syria will act in the interests of the entire nation and its people, actively cooperate with the international mediation efforts, achieve as soon as possible a political settlement that responds to the circumstances in the country and addresses the interests of all parties concerned, so as to give peace a chance and bring tranquility to the Syrian people.”

China is ready to enhance its cooperation with the international community so as to play a greater role in pushing for a settlement of the question of Palestine. The Syrian crisis will soon enter its fifth year. Protracted warfare has plunged the Syrian people into misery and suffering, and has severely threatened regional and international peace and stability. Promoting a political settlement through dialogue and negotiations among the parties in Syria is the only way to achieve peace and stability in Syria. Recently, the international community has made a series of efforts towards a political settlement to the Syrian crisis.”

China has been a firm supporter and sincere mediator of the peace process between Palestine and Israel. We support the endeavour of the Palestinian people to establish an independent State of Palestine on the basis of the 1967 borders, with full sovereignty and with East Jerusalem as its capital. We support Palestine and Israel's enjoyment of common peace and security. China has been promoting, through its means, peace talks among the parties concerned.”

36. “The question of Palestine is the core of the question of the Middle East and is interwoven and closely related with other hotspot issues in the Middle East. The protracted absence of a settlement of the question of Palestine will lead to more violence and extremism in the region and will make the regional hotspot issues more complicated and difficult. The international community must have a sense of urgency when it comes to the question of Palestine, strengthen coordination, explore all possibilities and develop synergies so as to bring Palestine and Israel back to the right track of peace talks.”

We support Palestine's bid to join the United Nations and other international organizations and its efforts to strengthen its internal solidarity. Meanwhile, Israel's legitimate security concerns should also be addressed. China hopes that Palestine and Israel will meet each other halfway and resume negotiations as soon as possible so as to promote an early and proper settlement of the question of Palestine.”

38. “The Security Council was still not able to take substantive measures on the subject of Palestine, and was not able to adopt the draft resolution on the question of Palestine proposed by Jordan on behalf of the Arab States. China expresses its profound regret in that regard. The history of the Middle East peace process has repeatedly proved that conducting peace talks is like sailing upstream - if they do not move forward, they will fall back. The stalled peace talks will inevitably bring about intensified conflicts and bring both Palestine and Israel into the vicious cycle of violence begetting violence. China hopes that Palestine and Israel will consolidate their confidence in peace, remain committed to the strategic option of peace talks and take measures to rebuild mutual trust.”

I thank Assistant Secretary-General ad interim Toyberg-Frandzen for his briefing. China has also listened attentively to the statements made by the Ambassadors of Palestine and Israel. Today's meeting is the Council's first debate on the Middle East in the year 2015. The past year marked the International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, as established by the United Nations. Sadly, 2014 witnessed severe difficulties in the peace process in the Middle East, with the Palestinian-Israeli peace talks stalled and the conflict in the Gaza Strip. Palestine and Israel were once again beset by tension and confrontation.”

When the people's hearts and minds have been won, they can support and consolidate our achievements. In that regard, the Peacebuilding Fund should play a bigger role. This year, the United Nations will undergo a comprehensive review of its peacebuilding architecture that will help it fully take stock of its experiences and draw lessons from its past work in order to further improve its peacebuilding work in an effort to better realize the purposes and principles of the United Nations. China recognizes the progress already achieved in preparing for the review.”

42. “The United Nations should clearly illustrate the Peacebuilding Commission's role in integrated management and facilitate the relevant parties' coordination so that they will bring forth their respective advantages and complement each other. In planning peacebuilding operations, efforts should be made to budget carefully and allocate human and material resources rationally with a focus on efficiency and to avoid lopsided expansion. Fourthly, taking into account both short-term results and long- and medium-term goals, peacebuilding is a long, complex and arduous task, and its ultimate goal is to help countries involved enhance their self-preserving capacity and achieve self-sufficiency and sustainable stability and development.”

43. “Secondly, with regard to promoting synergies among the countries involved and other relevant parties, peacebuilding is a project involving system engineering and requires the broad participation of national Governments and other players. The United Nations should help national Governments to play the central role in deciding their own peacebuilding priorities and, at the same time, encourage the countries involved to strengthen their communication and coordination with other relevant parties so as to take into account the opinions of all parties and synergize their efforts. Thirdly, with regard to strengthening integrated management in an effort to rationally allocate resources and enhance efficiency, Member States, regional organizations and specialized agencies all play an important role in peacebuilding.”

44. “First, with regard to respect for the leadership role of the countries involved, United Nations peacebuilding operations should follow the nationally owned, nationally led and nationally driven principle. The timing of peacebuilding should be decided in light of local situations. The programme of work should be tailored to the specific needs of the countries involved and formulated with a priority focus on backing the relevant efforts of the countries involved and should assist them in strengthening institutional and capacity- building so as to address the root causes ofthe conflicts. The national initiative and dynamism of the countries involved should be brought into play. Efforts should be made to avoid simply copying the peacebuilding models of other countries.”

China commends the Peacebuilding Commission for its work and Ambassador Patriota for the leadership role he played as Chair of the Commission. At the same time, we should not lose sight of the fact that United Nations peacebuilding is still in an exploratory stage and has room for improvement and is faced with many difficulties and challenges. China believes that for the next phase of peacebuilding work the United Nations should focus on the following four areas of work.”

Peacebuilding is an important and integral part of the international community's effort to help countries with their post-conflict rebuilding. In recent years, the United Nations has devoted greater attention to and increased its input in peacebuilding, and has made outstanding achievements in countries such as Sierra Leone, Timor-Leste and Haiti, which have won the recognition of the countries involved and the international community at large.”

48. “This year, Minister for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi of China proposed five points for resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. China supports the just cause of restoring the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people; establishing a fully sovereign and independent State of Palestine, based on the 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital; and Palestine's accession to membership of the United Nations and other international organizations. China hopes that Palestine and Israel will resume peace talks as soon as possible, end the occupation at an early date and achieve peaceful coexistence. The Middle East peace process is now in deep stalemate and the tensions between Palestine and Israel persist.”

49. “Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): China voted in favour of draft resolution S/2014/916 on the question of Palestine submitted by Jordan on behalf of the League of Arab States. The draft reflects the reasonable demands of the Arab States, including the Palestinian people, and is in accord with the relevant United Nations resolutions, the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative, the road map for peace in the Middle East, and China's consistent position. We express deep regret over the failure of the draft resolution to be adopted. China is highly attentive to the Palestinian-Israeli question and has always made constructive efforts to advance the Middle East peace process. In 2013, President Xi Jinping of China put forward four proposals on the Palestinian-Israeli question.”

China will continue to work to realize a denuclearized peninsula, maintain its peace and stability, and address issues through dialogue and consultation. This position is clear and firm. China hopes that the relevant parties will make concerted efforts to take genuine actions to create the conditions for the resumption of the Six-Party Talks with a view to jointly maintaining the overall situation of peace and stability on the Peninsula”
