2. “We hope that the Joint Investigative Mechanism, while respecting the sovereignty of the countries concerned, will fully investigate and establish the facts regarding the use of chemicals as weapons. China hopes that the Security Council will remain united on the question of chemical weapons in Syria and speak with one, positive voice so as to play a positive role in the final destruction of chemical weapons in Syria and the maintenance of peace and security in the country. Political settlement is the only realistic way to resolve the Syrian question. The international community should adhere to the general direction of political settlement and comprehensively promote efforts on the four parallel tracks of ceasefire, peace talks, humanitarian relief and joint forces to combat terrorism.”

3. “Mr. Shen Bo (China) (spoke in Chinese): China welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 2314 (2016). China's position on chemical weapons is clear and consistent. We are strongly opposed to the use of chemical weapons by any State, organization or person in any circumstances. China is deeply concerned about the use of chemicals as weapons in Syria against the civilian population and strongly condemns such use. China consistently advocates for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons-United Nations Joint Investigative Mechanism to perform its functions in line with its mandate and in an objective, impartial and professional manner.”

5. “China has always been supportive of the Palestinian people's just aspirations to the restoration of their legitimate national rights and interests and has worked to promote peace negotiations. As a permanent member of the Security Council and a responsible major Power, we have contributed constructively to the Palestinian- Israeli peace process. Earlier this year, President Xi Jinping of China delivered a speech at the headquarters of the League of Arab States in which he specifically discussed China's principled stance on the question of Palestine. He called for relaunching peace talks at the political level and promoting economic reconstruction. At the Paris ministerial conference, China's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Wang Yi, put forward the "three stops" and "three explorations" initiative.”

6. “We should stay focused on the central goal of all its efforts, a two-State solution, and work diligently to achieve a resumption of the peace talks, with a View to achieving real results. We should draw on the experience gained through dealing with other hotspot issues in the Middle East by exploring every possible pathway to resuming talks under the auspices of the Middle East Quartet by creating international synergies. While we should continue to use the mechanisms that are already in place, we should also encourage new initiatives. Meanwhile, we should be mindful of the leading role of the United Nations in this issue, and any outcomes of the efforts to promote peace should be approved by the Security Council.”

7. “That is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people. Both countries should exercise restraint, refrain from violent conflict, introduce initiatives that help to foster mutual trust, meet each other halfway and strive to resume talks as soon as possible and arrive at outcomes based on those talks. Israel should demonstrate goodwill by acting first to stop its expansion of settlements immediately, lift the blockade of the Gaza Strip and remove restrictions on aid to Palestinians. At the same time, Israel's legitimate security concerns should be respected. The international community should increase its coordination in order to translate the current positive momentum towards settling the Palestine question into concrete action.”

8. “In early June, the ministerial conference held in Paris in support of the Middle East peace initiative reached a preliminary consensus on how to promote the next phase of peace talks, and that has prompted the international community to refocus on the issue. We commend and support France's efforts to promote negotiations and peace. In the meantime, Russia and Egypt have also been working actively on the issue, and the Middle East Quartet has published a new report (S/2016/595, annex). China supports every effort that may help to ease the Palestinian-Israeli situation and to arrive at a two-State solution. Right now, the top priority is breaking the impasse in which the peace talks are mired in order to work to establish an independent sovereign Palestinian State based on the 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

The international community should adopt an objective and fair position, play a constructive role and create favourable external conditions for the political settlement of the Darfur question. On the question of the Sudan and the ICC, China's position has not changed. We welcome the fact that the African Union (AU) has established a ministerial committee to deal with the question of the Sudan at the ICC.”

At present, the Darfur region of the Sudan is still facing such problems as the slowness of progress in its political process and armed groups resorting to violent means to disrupt peace and stability in the region. China appreciates the efforts of the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel (AUHIP) to engage in diplomatic good offices to actively promote the political settlement of the Darfur question.

16. “Attention must also be given to effectively fighting terrorist activities conducted via the Internet and social media. On the question of the Middle East, at present the conflict between Palestine and Israel continues, as the peace negotiations remain deadlocked. China is deeply concerned about the situation. As a fundamental issue having direct bearing on peace in the Middle East, the question of Palestine must not be overlooked and certainly not forgotten. To preserve the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people is the joint responsibility of the international community. More robust efforts are required to push forward the peace process, on the political front, and to promote reconstruction, on the economic front. The key to breaking the current impasse is to jumpstart the peace process.”

17. “China welcomes the fact that this month, at the initiative of Egypt, the Council held an open debate on counter-terrorism (see S/PV.7690) that highlighted the importance of the international community's coordination and cooperation in fighting terrorism, creating international synergies. The international community should form a united front on counter-terrorism, and full play must be given to the central coordinating role of the United Nations and the Security Council. In the fight against terrorism, we should abide by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and adhere to standard criteria. This fight must not be linked to a specific ethnicity or religion. The focus should be on halting the trans-border movement of terrorists and cutting off their financial resources and their supplies of weapons.”

26. “Mr. Shen Bo (China) (spoke in Chinese): United Nations peacekeeping operations have made great contributions to the maintenance of international peace and security, but a very small number of peacekeepers are suspected of acts of sexual exploitation and abuse, acts that undermine the image and the reputation of United Nations peacekeeping operations and the United Nations as a whole. China supports Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon and the Secretariat in adopting the zero- tolerance policy, supports the international community in taking comprehensive response measures and supports the Council in playing a proper role in this regard, including stepping up coordination with the General Assembly and other United Nations bodies. China therefore voted in favour of resolution 2272 (2016).”

It should focus on supporting the countries' own institutions, on capacity-building and on addressing the root causes of the conflicts. On the one hand, the United Nations should serve as a platform aimed at further promoting coordination and cooperation in peacebuilding among the parties in the countries concerned and the stakeholders in the international community. We should avoid monopolizing.”

China has consistently stated that United Nations peacekeeping operations should respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries concerned, and take their opinions fully into consideration. We should adjust the mandate and scale of peacekeeping operations in the light of the developments and needs on the ground. The Council should, in that regard, pay attention to the request of the Sudanese Government that the United Nations formulate an exit strategy for UNAMID.”

China supports all initiatives and efforts that could help the two sides bridge their differences and resume peace talks as soon as possible.
