“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): China has stated its position against the Council's involvement in the human rights situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. China has consistently opposed the politicization of human rights issues and the pressuring of countries under the pretext of human rights issues. The Security Council is not the forum to discuss human rights issues. We oppose the adoption of any outcome document by the Council on the human right situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. China is a close neighbour of the Korean peninsula. We will never allow any unrest or war to take place in the peninsula. At present, the situation in the Korean peninsula remains complex and sensitive.”

“The Security Council's inclusion of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea situation on its agenda in order to involve itself of the situation of human rights in that country will work against those goals and can only do harm rather than good.”

“The Security Council should strictly abide by its responsibilities and concentrate on addressing issues that really concern international peace and security. The situation on the Korean peninsula remains complex and sensitive. Upholding the goal of the denuclearization of the peninsula, maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula and insisting on dialogue and consultations as a way to resolve issues is in the common interests of all parties concerned and should be the direction towards which all parties should work together. The Security Council should work more to facilitate dialogue and ease tensions and refrain from doing anything that might cause an escalation of tensions.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): China is opposed to exploiting the existence of large-scale violations of human rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea as a reason to include the situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the agenda of the Security Council. The Charter of the United Nations stipulates explicitly that the primary responsibility of the Security Council is to maintain international peace and security. The United Nations organs each have their own respective functions and mandates. The Security Council is not a forum designed for involvement in human rights issues, and still less should human rights issues be politicized. Currently, international peace and security are faced with numerous daunting challenges.”

“China actively works to fulfil its obligations under the Convention through legislation, law enforcement and judicial measures, and promotes international cooperation in that regard. China will continue to conduct bilateral and multilateral exchanges and cooperation against terrorism and cross-border crime with the international community, especially African countries. China will do its utmost to provide material assistance and capacity-building to relevant countries with a view to advancing their efforts to fight international terrorism and maintain regional and world peace and stability.”

“The international community should closely follow the cross-border criminal activities of terrorist organizations by using information and communications technologies such as the Internet, and take measures to prevent and combat such activities. Like other countries, China has been a victim of terrorism. We understand the threat posed by terrorism to certain countries, especially in Africa. China supports the ability of African countries to independently choose the paths of their own development that suit their national situations. China supports African solutions, led by Africans, to African problems. China supports African countries in their counter-terrorism efforts. China is a party to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime.”

“Terrorist organizations finance their activities by trafficking in arms and drugs and engaging in illicit trade, endangering the sovereignty of the countries concerned and intensifying the spill-over effect of their domestic conflicts, thereby threatening regional security and stability. The regions concerned should engage their counter-terrorism activities in fighting terrorism and cross-border crime simultaneously with a view to severing the link between them. The international community should assist the countries involved, particularly in Africa, in building their border control, customs and counter-narcotics capacities. United Nations special political missions to the countries concerned should raise awareness of these new features of counter-terrorism efforts, actively develop programmes of work, and play a useful coordinating role.”

“The United Nations should make it a priority to help African countries in enhancing their counter-terrorism capacities in the implementation of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. Counter- terrorism mechanisms, such as the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force and the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, should provide African countries with more assistance. Thirdly, counter-terrorism activities should be well targeted. In some regions, especially in Africa, terrorism and cross-border criminal organizations are closely linked to one another.”

“Due to a multitude of historical and contemporary factors, some regions of Africa are experiencing turbulent political and security circumstances. Terrorists are exploiting the situation to infiltrate African countries, thereby posing a serious threat to regional peace, security and stability and constraining economic and social development in the continent. Counter-terrorism work in Africa is an important component of the global counter-terrorism effort. The international community should prioritize it and actively help African countries and regional and subregional organizations to fight terrorism and maintain peace and security on the continent. The international community should effectively help African countries in strengthening their counter- terrorism capacities and provide assistance without political conditions.”

“Counter-terrorism activities should abide by the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations and respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the countries concerned. The lead role of the United Nations and the Security Council should be brought into fullplay. Pursant to the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and relevant Security Council resolutions, all countries should adopt effective measures to cut the access of terrorist organizations to people, funds, materials and channels for incitement and propaganda, and adopt integrated measures to eradicate the breeding grounds of terrorism. Secondly, heightened attention must be accorded to Africa, which is at the forefront of the international fight against terrorism.”

“Against such a grim backdrop, the international community should cooperate more closely in the fight against terrorism, strengthen exchanges of information and intelligence, share successful experiences, enhance capacity-building and conduct coordinated activities with a view to effectively fighting terrorism and maintaining international peace and security together. In that respect, I wish to stress the following points. First, in order to effectively deter terrorism, the international community should adhere to a common standard. Double standards and selectivity should not be used in the fight against terrorism. We must also take care not to link terrorism with any particular ethnic group or religion.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): China welcomes the Chadian initiative to convene today's open debate on terrorism and cross-border crime. I thank Under-Secretary-General F eltman for his briefing and Ambassador Antonio for his statement on behalf of the African Union. Frequent terrorist attacks have taken place recently in Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas and Oceania, resulting in numerous casualties and focusing the attention of the international community. The broad geographic spread of terrorist attacks, the brutality of the terrorists, the incitement and recruitment practised by terrorist organizations on the Internet and social media, and their convergence with cross-border crime are posing a grave and real threat to international peace and security.”

“At the same time, all parties should, in a spirit of objectivity, impartiality and pragmatism, continue an in-depth discussion and reach conclusions based on consensus. China has taken note of the midterm report submitted by the Panel of Experts and we acknowledge the efforts of the experts. We hope that, as mandated by resolution 1737 (2006) and guided by the Committee, the Panel will continue to strictly carry out its work prudently and soundly. China has all along believed that dialogue and negotiation are the only right way to solve the Iranian nuclear issue appropriately. We have been acting in an objective and fair and responsible manner to push for talks and a peaceful solution. We have played a constructive role in promoting negotiation on a comprehensive agreement.”

“China encourages Iran to further strengthen its cooperation with the Agency so as to continue to promote the solution of the outstanding issues on the Iranian nuclear file. Over the recent period, all parties have maintained close communication with regard to the relevant work of the Committee. All Member States have the obligation to implement the Council's resolutions on sanctions against Iran seriously and precisely. But sanctions themselves are not the end of the resolutions, and the reinforced sanctions are not the criteria whereby to judge the work of the Committee. Under the current circumstances, both the Committee and the Panel of Experts should take a long-term View, have the big picture in mind and support and cooperate with the diplomatic efforts to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue.”

“That positive momentum does not come by easily and should be valued by all parties. The most important task in the next stage is to take advantage of the momentum, adhere to the consensus, focus on and bridge the differences, on the basis of the principle ofa step-by-step approach and of reciprocity so as to reach a comprehensive win-win and mutually beneficial agreement at an early date. China is pleased to see that the cooperation between the International Atomic Energy Agency and Iran has continued to maintain its positive momentum. We hope that the Agency will play a constructive role in placing Iranian facilities under safeguards and promoting a peaceful solution of the Iranian nuclear issue.”

“Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Ambassador Quinlan for his briefing. Over the past two years, Ambassador Quinlan and his team have worked hard to promote the Committee's work. China wishes to express its appreciation and thanks for all ofthat. China has always attached great importance to the work of the Committee, and we are ready to continue our cooperation with the new Chair and work with all the parties to implement the work plans of the Committee. Not long ago, the five permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany and Iran decided to extend the negotiations on a comprehensive agreement, thus allowing more time and space for diplomatic efforts. Yesterday, the six countries and Iran began a new round of negotiations in Geneva on a comprehensive agreement.”

“China is actively committed to facilitating Afghanistan's regional cooperation and pushing for an early resolution of the issue of Afghanistan, with a view to achieving long-term peace and stability and economic and social development in the region. China looks forward to working with the international community in its steadfast efforts to jointly support Afghanistan in its early realization of political reconciliation, economic recovery and long- term development and the security and prosperity of Afghanistan and the region.”

“During President Ghani Ahmadzai's visit to China at the end of October, China and Afghanistan issued a joint declaration on strengthening their strategic, cooperative partnership. The Chinese Government has decided to provide Afghanistan with grant assistance in the amount of 5500 million in 2014, and Â¥1.5 billion over the next three years. To support capacity-building in Afghanistan, in the next five years China will assist Afghanistan in the training of 3,000 professionals from various fields and hold counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics training seminars. China also hosted, in Beijing, the fourth Heart of Asia-Istanbul Process Ministerial Conference.”

“We support the continued leading role of the United Nations and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in coordinating international assistance on behalf of Afghanistan. It is China's hope that UNAMA will strengthen communication, coordination and cooperation with the Afghan Government and enhance the confidence of the international community in Afghanistan's smooth transition process. China is a good neighbour of Afghanistan. China is also a good friend of Afghanistan. China hopes to see a unified, stable, well-developed and friendly Afghanistan. China is firm in supporting active efforts to ensure Afghanistan's peace and reconstruction process.”

“The international community must also fulfil its commitment to assist Afghanistan in developing self-sufficiency capacities aimed at independent development. Fourthly, strengthening international and regional cooperation is a priority. Afghanistan cannot realize development and prosperity without the support and assistance of the international community, especially the countries in the region. The international community should resolutely support Afghanistan's good-neighbour relationship with the countries in the region and support Afghanistan's participation in international and regional cooperation efforts with a view to further integration in the regional economic sphere.”

“It is China's hope that all parties in Afghanistan will demonstrate wisdom and sincerity, place the interests of the Afghan people before anything else and actively participate in the Afghan reconciliation process. Together with the international community, China intends to provide constructive assistance to promote the Afghan reconciliation process. Secondly, maintaining a stable security situation is a prerequisite. At present, the Afghan security situation remains grim, with frequent violent attacks. The international community must continue to assist Afghanistan in the capacity-building of its national security and police forces.”

“China congratulates the Afghan Government and the people on their achievement. At the same time, a stable and prosperous Afghanistan with all of its ethnic groups living in harmony requires a continuing unwavering effort on the part of the Afghan Government and people and sustained attention and assistance on the part of the international community. I would like to emphasize the following points. First, the promotion of the national reconciliation process is key. In order to achieve peace and stability Afghanistan must commit to broad-based, inclusive political reconciliation. Chinese President Xi Jinping, in meeting with President Ghani Ahmadzai in October, emphasized that all parties should support an Afghan- led and Afghan-owned peace and reconciliation process.”

I thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Haysom and Executive Director Fedotov for their briefings. I also thank Ambassador Tanin for his statement. The year 2014 is crucial in terms of Afghanistan's political, security and economic transition. Since the beginning of the year, Afghanistan has smoothly concluded its presidential election and the formation of a new inclusive Government. It has been steadily promoting economic and social development. The Afghan people are facing a new opportunity of unity and stability, peaceful reconstruction and development. A solid foundation has been prepared for a transformation that will begin in 2015.”

“China supports the Secretary-General in his effort to summarize experiences and put forward proposals on issues related to transitioning peacekeeping operations and further sorting out the cooperative relationship between the United Nations and the AU. China has consistently been a constructive participant in Africa's peace and security affairs. To date, China has deployed a total of 2,000 peacekeepers to seven peacekeeping operations in Africa, including in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Liberia. China wishes to increase the number ofits peacekeepers participating in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, and has provided the African Union Mission in Somalia with multifacted assistance. In October, China held its first round of strategic dialogue with the African Union in the context of the peace and security sub-group.”

“The United Nations should proceed from the overall goal of maintaining African and international peace and security; mobilize more resources to support Africa in its related efforts for early warning systems, peacekeeping deployment, good offices and mediation or dialogue; and effectively enhance the AU's peacekeeping capacity through a multitude of channels, such as personnel training, logistical support, information sharing and exchanges of experiences. Fourthly, the United Nations should pay more attention to the transition of peacekeeping operations from the AU to the United Nations. Starting last year, with the vigorous support of the AU and other subregional organizations, the African peacekeeping operations in Somalia and the Central African Republic were transitioned to United Nations peacekeeping operations.”

“Advocating for a culture of reconciliation and comprehensive development not only helps in addressing the root causes of conflicts, but also lays a more solid basis for peace in Africa. China supports the Security Council, the Peacebuilding Commission and the Secretariat in their efforts to build a multidimensional coordination mechanism with the AU. Thirdly, the United Nations should assist the AU in building its peacekeeping capacity. Due to capacity and resource limitations, the AU needs to strengthen its capacity-building in crisis response and conflict resolution.”

“First, the United Nations should respect the will of Africa and actively support the African Union's peacekeeping efforts. In dealing with issues in the region, the African Union has more in-depth understanding and knowledge, and is in a position to put forward African solutions to solve African problems from an African perspective. The Security Council should consider supporting the AU's key role in resolving regional conflicts on a priority basis and heed the AU's opinion and suggestions effectively. Secondly, the United Nations should engage in comprehensive cooperation with the AU. That should cover many areas, including security and development, and the various stages of confidence-building, conflict prevention, the maintenance of peace, peacebuilding and sustainable development.”

“As the largest and most representative regional organization in Africa, the African Union plays an increasingly important role in regional peace and security. Strengthened cooperation between the United Nations and the AU is required in order to promote multilateralism. It is also an important development in terms of international collective security mechanisms. China commends the United Nations for establishing a stable cooperative relationship with the African Union, strengthening its communication and contacts with the AU on the resolution of hot spot African issues and further strengthening coordination and cooperation in the field of peacekeeping. I would like to make four points on furthering the cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union in the field of peacekeeping.”

“I thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his briefing, and I have listened carefully to the statement made by Mr. Buyoya on behalf of the African Union (AU). The Charter of the United Nations entrusts the Security Council with the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. Chapter VIII of the Charter encourages the pacific settlement of regional conflicts through regional arrangements. In today's world, we face many problems and challenges that require robust responses at the international, regional and national levels. Currently, almost 70 per cent ofthe items on the Security Council's agenda are related to Africa. Two thirds of United Nations peacekeeping operations are also deployed in Africa.”

China condemns this terrorist attack in the strongest terms and expresses its deep condolences to the victims, the injured and the bereaved families. China is against all forms of terrorism and will continue to resolutely support the Government and people of Pakistan in their unrelenting effort to fight against terrorism and maintain the stability of the country and safety of its people. The Chinese delegation thanks Chad for its initiative to convene today's open debate. I thank you, Mr. President, for coming to New York to preside over today's meeting.”

We hope that the United Nations will continue with such visits and draw lessons from successful experiences, so as to further promote the economic and social development of the countries in the region. The Government of China attaches great importance to our relations with Africa. Through bilateral channels, it has made its utmost effort to provide assistance to the countries concerned in the Sahel region. China also proactively supports United Nations peacekeeping operations in countries such as Mali. We are also exploring with the African Union ways of providing support to the rapid-reaction force for the African crisis.”

“Thirdly, coordination and cooperation between the United Nations and the international financial institutions should be strengthened. The lack of development and development imbalances figure among the root causes of the conflict in the region. In the past year, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, together with the heads of the World Bank and other international financial institutions, have visited the Sahel and raised a large amount of resources for the countries in the region, thus making important contributions to their national development and poverty-reduction processes. At the same time, a new model was launched involving tripartite cooperation among the United Nations, international financial institutions and regional organizations, in a concerted effort to settle regional hot- spot issues.”

“Secondly, proactive support should be provided to regional and subregional organizations in their efforts to maintain regional peace and stability. China appreciates the successful mediation efforts of the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States on the issues of Mali and Burkina Faso and supports the African approach of the resolution of African issues by the Africans themselves. We welcome the development of collective security mechanisms by regional organizations such as the African Union and support the planning and establishment of the rapid-reaction force for the crisis in Africa. African regional organizations enjoy unique advantages in resolving African issues and as such deserve the support of the international community.”

“China believes that the issues in the Sahel region must be tackled comprehensively at three levels: the national, regional and international. First, we should focus on the settlement of regional hot-spot issues. At present, the political and security situation in Libya is deteriorating. The national reconciliation process in Mali is on a difficult and treacherous road. The political transition in Burkina Faso is also fragile. The international community should therefore take targeted measures on the basis of respect for the sovereignty of the countries concerned so as to help the countries of the region to push forward political processes aimed at improving the security situation and promoting national reconciliation, with a view to de-escalating tension in hotspot situations and seeking lasting solutions.”

At present, the situation in the Sahel region is generally stable, with continuing economic growth and steady progress in the implementation of the United Nations integrated strategy for the Sahel. On the other hand, there are also multiple challenges in the Sahel region, such as the fragile security situation, development imbalances, the spread of terrorism and the ever more serious threat of transnational organized crime. The Sahel covers a broad area, with interrelated traditional and non-traditional conflicts.”

China respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia and understands Serbia's legitimate concern on the question of Kosovo. China believes that resolution l244(l99) provides the key legal basis for resolving the crisis in Kosovo. The best way to resolve the issue of Kosovo is to engage in dialogue and negotiations according to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, within the framework of the relevant Council resolutions, in order to reach an appropriate solution acceptable to all parties.”

“In addition to the assistance from the Chinese Government, Chinese enterprises in affected countries, such as Guinea, have also contributed, in cash and in kind, to the campaign against Ebola and to honour their social responsibility. Many of those enterprises have remained open and continued their production in support of the local economy, a fact that the host States have greatly appreciated. China's assistance in Africa's fight against Ebola has fully demonstrated that China and Africa, as friends, can truly share in good and ill together. Along with the rest of the international community, China will continue to contribute, within its abilities, to thejoint fight with Africa and its peoples against the Ebola epidemic.”

“Earlier this month, China's first team of public-health trainers arrived in Sierra Leone to begin their work. China is also actively considering building a pathogen-and-tropical-disease prevention, treatment and research centre in Africa, and sending experts to participate in the construction of an AU disease-control centre. We also plan to train 10,000 health-care workers and community-level key control personnel. In order to contain the spread of the outbreak, China has provided disease-control materials and equipment to the three countries affected, as well as to their neighbours, including Mali, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cote d'Ivoire. We have also contributed $6 million to the United Nations Ebola Multi-Partner Trust Fund and $2 million each to the WHO and the AU. Mr. Quinlan took the Chair.”

“In the next few months, there will be altogether 1,000 Chinese health-care workers and public-health experts making tours of service to the front lines in affected areas in order to train the local health-care workers to do lab testing, observe symptoms and give treatment. China has also provided equipment, including mobile virus-testing labs and biological safety labs, as well as the most urgently needed supplies such as grains, medicines, protective gear, incinerators, ambulances, trucks and motorcycles. In view of the latest developments in the epidemic, China's fourth group of aid measures is already being geared to post-Ebola needs, with a focus on helping the affected countries strengthen their public health security systems and capacity-building.”

“It is particularly worth noting that the treatment centre built with the Chinese aid will be open to all, including the local population, which shows that Chinese assistance is truly community-oriented and people-centred. China has now also become the first country to help build a treatment centre in the affected region and send its health-care workers to manage and operate it. In the meantime, a 40-member Chinese team has also arrived in Sierra Leone with the aim of continuing with monitoring work in mobile labs. There are currently about 400 Chinese health-care workers in the affected States.”

“In order to deliver the related assistance as quickly as possible, the Chinese Government has even chartered planes to transport the materials to the affected areas at the earliest date for distribution and use. So far the first three groups of assistance measures have all been implemented, and the fourth group is being implemented step by step. With Chinese assistance, the construction of a treatment centre in Liberia is now being stepped up and is expected to be completed by the end of this month. By then the centre will be operational, only one month after President Xi J inping's announcement of the fourth group of assistance measures.

“The international community should focus on their post- Ebola needs, get to work on plans as soon as possible, and fully help the affected countries to strengthen their public-health and other essential systems so that they can get back onto a path of peace, stability and development as soon as possible.

Since March, when the epidemic erupted, the Chinese Government has provided four batches of emergency assistance, worth a total of RMB750 million or approximately $120 million, the largest amount of health-related foreign aid since the founding of the new China.”

“The effort to combat Ebola is at a key stage now, and China urges that they honour their aid commitments speedily, helping the countries affected to halt and eliminate the epidemic as quickly and effectively as possible and to increase the confidence ofthose affected in the possibility of completely beating the disease. Thirdly, the countries affected must get active assistance in carrying out post-Ebola reconstruction. The current epidemic has undermined the political and security situation, economic and social development and the well-being of the people in those countries.”
