  1. China strongly condemns the LRA, which has continued to attack and harass civilians in several countries and calls upon that group to immediately cease its illegal activities, proceed to disarm and take part in the disarmament, demobilization, reintegration, repatriation and resettlement programmes.

We welcome the fact that the United Nations has taken the initiative to cooperate with the African Union to fight the LRA and we hope that the international community will be forthcoming in providing financial assistance to the United Nations and the African Union to ensure that the relevant initiatives can be effectively implemented.

Secondly, in conducting cooperation between the United Nations and the OIC, attention should be paid to the overall coordination with an eye on comparative advantages.
