  2. “In this light, we call upon the international community - on the basis of respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity and non-interference in internal affairs - to increase its support and assistance to African countries and to help them maintain peace and promote development in order finally to solve the question of refugees. In the meantime, we hope that in providing assistance the international community will follow the principle of fairness and avoid imbalances in the provision of assistance throughout the world. As a developing country China has, within its capabilities, been providing various types of assistance to African countries through multilateral and bilateral channels.”

  3. “The Chinese delegation has on many occasions emphasized that the key to the settlement of the question of refugees lies in eliminating the root causes. We believe that political instability, economic underdevelopment, poverty and backwardness are the major reasons for the existence of refugees in Africa. Those problems have gone on for a long time with no solution and have become further exacerbated. At present, the international community understands this point clearly. In the various open debates held by the Council on the question of Africa, representatives of many countries, including African countries, have emphasized the need for the international community to take effective measures to help African countries eliminate poverty and develop their economies. We support those ideas.”

  4. “We would also like to express our appreciation for the efforts made by the relevant international organizations and the agencies and bodies of the United Nations to protect and assist refugees and internally displaced persons.

We would also like to call upon all sides concerned to follow international humanitarian, human rights and refugee laws and to actively cooperate with the international community in its efforts to protect refugees and internally displaced persons.”

  5. “Mr. Qin Huasun (China) (spoke in Chinese): The Chinese delegation wishes to thank Mrs. Ogata for her briefing to the Security Council on the question of refugees in Africa. We would also like to thank the President of the Council and the American delegation for organizing this open briefing. We appreciate the efforts they have made. We hope that Mrs. Ogata's presence in the Council and her briefing on the question of refugees in Africa can help raise the awareness of the international community on the question of refugees in Africa and prompt it to make greater efforts in this regard. The Chinese delegation would like to express its deep sympathy for the tragic plight faced by the large numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons in Africa.”
