  1. “We are ready to work together with the international community to realize the vision of a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, help Africa to silence the guns, protect that source of hope for the world and build a community with a shared future for humankind.”

  2. “China is a staunch advocate for Africa playing a greater role in global governance and international affairs. China has stood alongside Africa through thick and thin. China will always consider Africa a high priority in its diplomatic relations and prioritize peace and security in Africa in its work at the Council. China and Africa have worked together to launch a partnership initiative for Africa’s development, to promote the concept of peaceful development in the Horn of Africa and to implement nine Chinese-African cooperation projects and build a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future.”

  3. “Last year marked the twentieth anniversary of the launching of the African Union. Over the past two decades, the AU has held high the banner of strength through unity, solidarity and cooperation. It has been committed to speaking with one voice in international affairs, exploring a development path suitable for Africa and effectively maintaining peace and security, development and stability on the continent. AU-led peacekeeping operations are a useful practice in seeking African solutions to African problems and should receive flexible, predictable and sustainable financial support. China firmly supports Africa’s in-depth participation in the Group of 20, and the group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, known as BRICS, as well as other mechanisms.”

  4. “When working with Africa, the international community must strengthen cooperation in line with initiatives such as the African Union (AU) Agenda 2063 and the Silencing the Guns initiative. It must support Africa in advancing infrastructure development, accelerating industrialization, responding to pandemics, eliminating poverty, boosting employment and promoting the swift implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The underlying cause of Africa’s development issue is the unfair international economic order. Developed countries must therefore shoulder their due responsibilities, honour their development aid commitments and pay back the historical debt owed to Africa. Fourthly, it is important to support Africa’s efforts to seek strength through unity.”

  5. “The arms embargoes imposed by the Council on the Sudan, South Sudan and others have hindered those countries in their development of a security capacity and should therefore be adjusted or lifted in a timely manner. Thirdly, it is important to support Africa in achieving sustainable development. Development and security are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. President Xi Jinping has proposed the Global Development Initiative, emphasizing the need to prioritize development cooperation in global macro policy coordination, address prominent issues and challenges in national governance through development and to forge a global community of development with a shared future.”

  6. “We need to help African countries build professional, efficient and robust security sectors in order to tackle genuine security threats such as terrorism, extremism and intercommunal conflicts. In August, China facilitated the adoption of a presidential statement by the Council (S/PRST/2022/6) calling for support for security capacity-building in African countries in a comprehensive and targeted manner with tailor-made measures in line with the actual needs of African countries. That presidential statement provides important political guidance for security cooperation with Africa. United Nations peacekeeping operations in Africa must respect the views of the host countries and support their efforts to strengthen security sector development and reform.”

  7. “The international community should adhere to the principle of seeking African solutions to African problems and provide assistance on the basis of respect and trust, rather than interfering in other countries’ internal affairs or even acting on their behalf in the name of human rights. For those countries in post-conflict situations, we must support their own choice of development paths and governance models that suit their own national conditions. There is no room for blind criticism and finding fault at every turn, let alone for exploiting the opportunity to engage in so-called democratic transformations. Secondly, it is important to support African countries in their security capacity-building endeavours. Enhancing Africa’s own security capacity is the only way to address both the symptoms and root causes of conflicts in Africa.”

  8. “The African continent is an important force in the world today. Without peace and development in Africa, there can be no stability and prosperity in the world. Against that new backdrop, the Security Council must give serious thought to how to strengthen international coordination to better help Africa cope with its challenges, how to forge synergies between development policies to address the root causes of conflict and how to bolster United Nations cooperation with Africa to provide enhanced support to the latter. First, it is important to support Africa’s leading role in its own peace and security affairs. Africans know Africa the best, and African countries are the core force in ensuring their own peace and security.”

  9. “Mr. Liu Yuxi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank Mozambique for convening today’s important open debate, as well as you, President Filipe Nyusi, for presiding over it in person. I also thank Ms. Cristina Duarte, Special Adviser on Africa to the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Mirko Manzoni, Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General for Mozambique, and Mr. Mohamed Ibn Chambas, African Union High Representative for the Silencing the Guns Initiative, for their briefings. Africa is a continent on the rise. It is a fertile land of hope, brimming with vigour and vitality. African countries and peoples are actively exploring development paths suited to their national conditions, effectively responding to multiple political, economic and social challenges, safeguarding regional peace and promoting sustainable development.”

  10. “We will, through the implementation of the Global Security Initiative and the Global Development Initiative, work with Africa to build a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future and make a greater contribution to lasting peace and sustainable development in Africa.”

  11. “China will continue to uphold the principles of sincerity, real results, amity and good faith and the approach of pursuing the greater good and shared interests proposed by President Xi Jinping. China will fully implement the peace and security programme announced at the eighth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. We will deliver free military assistance to the AU and regional countries. Through the United Nations peace and development trust fund, we will help African countries to develop counter-terrorism plans and provide funds for counter-terrorism capacity- building projects in Africa. China and Africa jointly launched an initiative on partnership for Africa’s development in the Security Council, providing a strong impetus for Africa’s development.”

  12. “The Security Council should make full use of the annual consultation mechanism with the AU Peace and Security Council to coordinate and build synergies regarding counter- terrorism issues in Africa. African countries look to United Nations peacekeeping operations for support in counter-terrorism efforts. The Secretariat should pay great attention to their expectation and better align peacekeeping operations with the needs of African countries on the premise of upholding the goals and mandates of peacekeeping operations. China and Africa are good friends, good partners and good brothers. China has always been a staunch supporter of peace and security in Africa.”

  13. “China calls on the international community to increasingly listen to the voice of African countries, prioritize the development agenda, take practical steps to support Africa in eliminating poverty and achieving sustainable development and help African countries to fully eradicate the terrorist threat. Fourthly, we should strengthen cooperation between the United Nations and African regional organizations. Without peace in Africa, there will be no security in the world. The United Nations must work closely with the AU and subregional organizations in Africa in response to the security challenges there. China welcomes the Secretary-General’s proposal to provide financial support to AU-led peace operations, which merits the Security Council’s careful consideration.”

  14. “The reasons for terrorism are complex, and the root causes are primarily development issues. President Xi Jinping proposed the Global Development Initiative, which focuses on resolving the issue of unequal and inadequate development among and within countries and jointly fostering a global development community with a shared future. The Initiative particularly highlights aligning the Belt and Road Initiative, Agenda 2063 of the African Union (AU) and the New Partnership for Africa’s Development with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and on synchronizing the capacity of the relevant multilateral cooperation mechanisms to achieve common development. Africa has an unlimited potential for development and has a promising future ahead of it.”

  15. “The Security Council is duty-bound to support Africa in its fight against terrorism. The international community should further strengthen international counter-terrorism cooperation with Africa, push for global resources to be weighted further towards African countries and increase support in terms of funding, equipment, intelligence and logistical supplies so that African countries may genuinely have the capability to maintain their own security and stability. The arms embargoes imposed by the Security Council on the Sudan, South Sudan and other countries have had a negative impact on the security capacity-building of the countries concerned and should be adjusted or lifted in a timely manner. Thirdly, we must eliminate the breeding grounds for terrorism.”

  16. “In the Initiative’s concept paper, China further calls for strengthening the role of the United Nations as the central coordinator in the global fight against terrorism and for supporting the international community in fully implementing the General Assembly and Security Council counter-terrorism resolutions and the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. In the context of this year’s eighth review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, we must take stock of past experience, coordinate our actions to promote cooperation and strengthen the global united front against terrorism. Secondly, we should enhance Africa’s ability to safeguard peace independently. Africa is at the forefront of international counter-terrorism efforts. Many African countries, including Mozambique, have made tireless efforts to that end.”

  17. “The international community must respond to the urgent needs and aspirations of African countries and work jointly to help them to address the most pressing challenges and the root causes of terrorism. First, we must build an international consensus with regard to counter-terrorism. Terrorism is a common challenge for humankind. The fight against terrorism is not about one country or one region. Given the complex and interrelated security challenges, President Xi Jinping proposed the Global Security Initiative, stressing that we must remain committed to maintaining security in both traditional and non-traditional areas and work together to seek long- term solutions.”

  18. “Mr. Liu Yuxi (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank the Republic of Mozambique for having convened this important meeting. I welcome you, Mr. President, presiding over this debate. I also thank Secretary- General Guterres and the Chairperson of the African Union, President Assoumani of the Comoros, for their briefings. Terrorist activities are currently increasing and spreading around the world. Regional terrorist organizations in Africa, such as Boko Haram, the Lord’s Resistance Army and Al-Shabaab, are colluding with Da’esh and Al-Qaida to cause unrest, and regional hotspots remain volatile. There is still a great deal of work to do in order to eradicate the terrorist threat.”
