  1. “Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank Special Adviser Benomar for his briefing today. The Chinese delegation listened with great interest to the statements made by Foreign Minister Al-Qirbi and Secretary General A1 Zayani of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Since the launch of the National Dialogue last March, thanks to the hard work of the Government and people of Yemen and the broad support from the international community, the political process in Yemen has made steady progress. The National Dialogue is making headway. The Supreme Commission for Election and Referendum is making preparations for a new constitution and general elections. The restricting of the armed forces is forging ahead in an orderly fashion.”

  3. “Acting in strict compliance with the principles of never impairing regional peace and security and of non-interference in the internal affairs of recipient countries, China has exported no small arms and light weapons to countries or regions that are subject to Security Council arms embargoes or to non-State entities and individuals. The Chinese Government has put in place a sound arms-export control system that includes end-user certification and export licensing, among other things. In particular, China has established a record-keeping system for the export of small arms and light weapons. Building a peaceful and prosperous world free from gun violence is an aspiration shared by the Chinese people and the people of all countries alike.”

  4. “The competent departments in China have played an active role in international exchanges and practical cooperation. We have provided assistance to other countries and multilateral organizations in the form of capital, technology and personnel training within the frameworks of the United Nations, the Organization of American States, the Forum on China- Africa Cooperation, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. In addition, China has provided assistance in various forms to approximately 40 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America in order to help them address humanitarian crises that have been triggered by mines and explosive remnants of war. Thirdly, China has adopted a prudent and responsible approach towards the export of small arms and light weapons.”

  5. “The Chinese Government has exerted strict controls over small arms and light weapons in accordance with the law of the People's Republic of China on the control of firearms and other laws and regulations. We have promulgated precise regulations for small-arms marking that provide for the detailed marking of small arms and light weapons, and put in place an information system for the management of guns used for official purposes. Chinese law enforcement departments have carried out several special campaigns to confiscate guns and combat violence. As a result, the gun-related crime rate has gone down year after year, contributing to continued social stability and the safety of people and their property. We have actively engaged I bilateral and multilateral exchanges and cooperation and in providing foreign assistance.”

  6. “All countries should comply with Security Council resolutions involving arms embargoes, improve their domestic legislation in the light of national conditions, and tighten control on small arms and light weapons so as to cut off the source of their illicit trade. The Chinese Government has been consistently and firmly against the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. We fully understand the concerns of the relevant countries and regions and deeply sympathize with them. Over the years, China has taken an active part in international cooperation in this area and improved its domestic management of the small arms trade, thereby contributing to efforts to combat the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. First, we have enhanced legislation, law enforcement and capacity-building.”

  7. “Thirdly, we should strengthen international cooperation. The law-enforcementbodies of all countries should enhance their coordination and maintain closer links with multilateral institutions, such as INTERPOL, with a view to increasing information exchange and practical cooperation through bilateral and multilateral channels. Different regions can establish their own priorities and develop effective measures in the light of their specific situations. Developed countries should provide greater assistance to developing countries in the areas of institution-building, personnel training, capital and technology. Fourthly, Governments need to enhance their capacity-building. National Governments bear the primary responsibility to fight the illicit trade in arms.”

  8. “At the same time, we should enhance peacekeeping and post-conflict reconstruction and help the relevant countries to achieve economic development and social stability in an effort to eliminate the root causes of wars, conflict, terrorism and organized crime. This would pave the way for a fundamental solution to the issue of small arms and light weapons. Secondly, we should bring into full play the role of the United Nations as the major actor. We should comprehensively and effectively implement the outcomes reached under the framework of the United Nations, work for steady progress in the relevant processes, and intensify the fight against the illicit trade in arms at the national, regional and international levels. The United Nations should play an even greater role in promoting international cooperation and assistance in that regard.”

  9. “Globalization, IT applications and new technological revolutions have added complexity to the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. All of this poses new challenges to many countries, in particular developing countries in Africa and Latin America. The Security Council should continue to play a positive role and urge the international community to redouble its efforts in the fight against the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. In that regard, I wish to make the following proposals. First, we should take a holistic approach in addressing both the symptoms and the root causes. The international community should commit itself to resolving disputes through political and diplomatic means and to safeguarding regional and international peace.”

  10. “Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): At the outset, Madam, I wish to welcome your presence leading this meeting of the Security Council. I thank Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon and Ms. Beerli, Vice-President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, for their briefings. I wish to express my appreciation and thanks to Australia for the preparations it made for this meeting. The illicit trade in and excessive accumulation and proliferation ofsmall arms and light weapons have posed a major challenge to the international community. The international security station is complex and volatile and rife with both traditional and non-traditional security threats, such as regional unrest, terrorism and transnational organized crime.”

  12. “Fifthly, China supports Afghanistan in its efforts to strengthen its friendly relations with neighbouring countries, conduct regional cooperation and actively tackle such common challenges as terrorism and narcotics. China will host the fourth Ministerial meeting of the Istanbul Process in Beijing next year, thereby further strengthening efforts to promote cooperation among the countries of the region and peace, stability and development in Afghanistan and in the region. At the same time, related regional cooperation initiatives should respect the concerns of the countries ofthe region; make full use ofthe Shanghai Cooperation Organization and other regional organizations; and be conducted on the basis of consensus, through extensive consultations. China has long been committed to developing strategic partnerships with Afghanistan.”

  13. “Fourthly, peacebuilding in and the reconstruction of Afghanistan will require strong support from the international community. The international community must respect the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Afghanistan and honour its commitment to support Afghanistan, in accordance with the priorities set out in the national development strategy for Afghanistan, and support the strengthening of its capacity for autonomous economic and social development. China supports the United Nations in general and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan in particular with respect to its playing a leading role in the coordination of international efforts to help resolve the Afghan question and rebuild the country.”

  14. “We hope that all parties concerned will adopt a responsible attitude, hand over security responsibilities to the Afghan Government, and focus on building the capacity of the Afghan military and police so as to ensure the successful completion of the security transition. Thirdly, China supports an Afghan-led and Afghan- owned national reconciliation process, with a view to achieving peace and stability. We support the active role played by the High Peace Council in the promotion of national reconciliation and welcome the provision of additional support by Pakistan and other countries of the region. We hope that the international community will support and work with the Afghan Government and people in their efforts to create an enabling external environment for the reconciliation process.”

  15. “We hope that all Afghan parties will continue their dialogue and consultations, address their differences appropriately and promote preparations for the elections so as to ensure their success. That will be a milestone in the process ofa fully successful transition and transformation in Afghanistan. Secondly, with regard to the frequent occurrence of security incidents in Afghanistan, which have resulted in large numbers of civilian casualties, China wishes to register its concern. We call on all parties to observe international humanitarian law and related international law. The Afghan National Security Forces have entered the final stage of preparations before they can take over security responsibilities.”

  16. “In order to build an Afghanistan of stability and prosperity in which different communities live in harmony and, ultimately, realize the goal of an Afghanistan governed by Afghans, we need to support the long-term continuing efforts of Afghanistan and all parties concerned. Continuing support and help from the international community will be required. I wish to emphasize the following points. First, China welcomes the recent adoption of two important laws, the electoral law and the structure law; the appointment of the head of the Independent Election Commission; and the fact that the country has arrived at the stage of nominating candidates for the presidency.”

  17. “Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I wish to thank you, Mr. President, for having convened this debate on the question of Afghanistan. Likewise, I thank the Special Representative of the Secretary- General, Mr. Jan Kubis, for his briefing, as well as the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan, Mr. Tanin, for his statement, as well as for the welcome expressed to me. Afghanistan faces an arduous task in restoring stability and rebuilding the country. Recently, thanks to the efforts made by the Government and its people, Afghanistan has registered noticeable progress in terms of building and reconstruction, and the transition process has entered a critical stage.”

  18. “We hope that the adoption of this draft resolution will help to make UNITA take a cooperative attitude towards the peace process, swiftly carry out all the obligations contained in the Lusaka Protocol and, under the overall leadership of the Government of Unity and National Reconciliation, make its own contribution to Angolan peace, stability and development.”

  19. “This would be in contravention of the will of the nation and people of Angola, and it is also something that the international community, including this Council, cannot agree to. The draft resolution will give effect to measures for further sanctions against Angola as provided for in resolution 1127 (1997). It is well known that China has throughout taken a very cautious attitude towards sanctions in order that Angola can achieve peace at an early date. As a special case, China voted in favour of resolution 1127 (1997). It will also vote in favour of the draft resolution. We wish to reiterate that sanctions are not an end in themselves, but are a means which had to be resorted to for the advancement of the peace process in Angola.”

  20. “In recent years, the hot spot issues in southern Africa have been resolved, one by one. The aspirations for peace, stability and development have already become a historical tide flowing over the entire African continent. China sincerely hopes that Angola will also swiftly complete its peace process and begin its reconstruction and development. The key to the realization of peace in Angola lies in the parties concerned, particularly UNITA, their carrying out without delay the provisions of the Lusaka Protocol and other agreements between the two sides in Angola. Particularly with regard to disarmament and the normalization of State administration, UNITA should show its sincerity and adopt a cooperative and serious attitude. As long as these tasks are not completed, there cannot possibly be genuine progress in the Angolan peace process.”

  21. “Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (interpretation from Chinese): Two months after the adoption of resolution 1127 (1997), no substantive progress has been achieved in the Angolan peace process. The peace that has been long awaited by the Angolan people continues to elude them. China is deeply concerned about this. A complete end to many years of strife in Angola, the realization of Angolan national reconciliation and peace, and, in turn, the creation of conditions for the resumption of economic and social development in Angola, constitute the demand of the entire Angolan people. It is the common aspiration of numerous African countries, and it is also an important goal that the international community, including this Council, has been working for over a number of years.”

  22. “We believe that, in order to solve problems, our priority now is to enhance the cooperation between Iraq and UNSCOM, rather than further complicating the matter, thus making it more difficult to solve. We believe the current draft resolution is not conducive to the settlement of the problems concerned. In the course of consultations, quite a number of delegations proposed amendments. Regrettably, however, those amendments were not accepted. In the light of the above, the Chinese delegation will have to abstain in the voting on the draft resolution.”

  23. “The difficulty that has occurred in the course of inspection is something that we do not wish to see. We have taken note of the fact that UNSCOM. is to conduct consultations with Iraq on the problems that have occurred in the course of inspection. We hope that the two sides will, in a spirit of cooperation, solve the problems that have occurred in the course of inspection. We also believe that to solve the problems that have followed the Gulf War is in the fundamental interests of Iraq and other countries of the region. The Chinese delegation is never in favour of imposing sanctions against any State indiscriminately; nor is it in favour of using sanctions as a threat. Experience shows that doing so can only run counter to our objectives. Nor will it contribute to a proper settlement of the problems.”

  24. “Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (interpretation from Chinese): The Chinese delegation believes Iraq should implement the relevant resolutions of the Security Council in a comprehensive manner. Meanwhile, the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, as well as the reasonable security concerns, of Iraq should also be respected. The agreement signed between the United Nations Special Commission and Iraq last year on the question of inspection should be implemented. The report (S/1997/774) of the United Nations Special Commission (UN SCOM) shows that in the last six months UNSCOM. has made a great deal of progress in the inspections it has carried out in relevant fields. All together, it has carried out over 800 inspections. In most cases, Iraq has cooperated with UNSCOM.”

  25. “Mr. Liu Jieyi (China) (interpretation from Chinese): On behalf of the Chinese delegation I would like to thank those delegations which spoke at this afternoon's meeting - including Algeria, Brazil, the Netherlands on behalf of the European Union and its 12 associated countries, and Mali - for their condolences on the passing of Mr. Deng Xiaoping. The Chinese delegation will convey their messages to the Chinese Government and people, as well as to the family of Mr. Deng. We will certainly convey these condolences and their sincere wishes.”
