  1. China will, as always, actively support and constructively participate in the peace process in South Sudan and play a constructive role in the realization of durable peace and sustainable development in the country. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of South Sudan.

  2. China commends the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) for the important contribution that it has made in maintaining peace and stability in South Sudan and supports the Mission in its efforts to continue to discharge its functions in line with the Council's Mandate, so as to provide support to the political process in the country. China supports peace and development in South Sudan, and, under our commitment made at the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, we recently provided RMB 300 million in aid to the South Sudanese Government and RMB 100 million in emergency humanitarian food assistance. In order to help improve medical care, in particular to enhance the level of service to women, we provided assistance in the construction of the Juba teaching hospital and the Rumbek women's hospital.

  3. In addition, the conflict has created large numbers of internally displaced persons. These issues, ifnot dealt with in a timely fashion, will affect peace and stability in the country. The international community must therefore ramp up its humanitarian assistance and economic support to the country, and, in conjunction with promoting the peace process, help the South Sudanese Government with its national reconstruction and enhance its development capacity. The focus should be on agriculture, energy, infrastructure, education and health. At the same time, attention should be paid to the full participation of women and young people.

  4. The focus should be on ensuring that the parties effectively honour their commitments, achieve a complete cessation of violence, gradually implement the various provisions of the Agreement and facilitate confidence-building among political parties. Women are a major force in the maintenance of international peace and security. China believes that the South Sudanese Government should play a major role in the implementation of the revitalized Agreement and supports it in its efforts to provide full protection for the rights of women and children. The implementation of the revitalized Agreement will be a lengthy process. As a country ravaged by protracted conflict, South Sudan has seen setbacks in its economic and social development, leading to substandard living conditions in many parts of the country.

  5. The international community and the Security Council must fully recognize the complexity of the issues involving South Sudan and provide constructive help in tackling the difficulties it is currently facing. I wish to stress the following two points. First, it is important to fully respect South Sudan's leadership in managing its domestic affairs, while encouraging the South Sudanese Government to be more proactive in terms of initiatives. The international community should provide assistance that is in line with the needs of the Government and the people so as to avoid imposing a solution. Secondly, it is important to continue to support the good offices of the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).

  6. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of China. I thank Mr. Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations; Mr. Chergui, Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union (AU); and Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN-Women, for their briefings. I welcome the United Nations-African Union joint visit, which will be helpful in tackling African regional hotspot issues through United Nations-AU cooperation. Progress has been made recently in terms of the implementation of the revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan. China welcomes these developments. However, there is a still a long way to go in achieving durable peace and stability.
