  1. “It goes without saying that, in the final analysis, any solution to the Afghan question must be decided by the Afghan people themselves. We are ready to take into serious consideration any proposals or recommendations that are conducive to restoring the peace, stability and neutrality of Afghanistan and in the fundamental interests of people of all ethnic groups in that country. China has provided emergency humanitarian assistance to Afghan refugees. It is our hope that the international community will make a greater effort to ease the current humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. The Chinese Government is willing to make constructive efforts, together with all Sides, for the promotion of a comprehensive political solution to the issue of Afghanistan, with the assistance of the United Nations.”

  2. “Diverse plans concerning the post-war arrangement in Afghanistan have been proposed by various parties concerned and some consensus was reached at yesterday's ministerial meeting of the "six plus two" group. We should encourage all parties and factions in Afghanistan to intensify political dialogue with a view to reaching agreement on the composition of the transitional administration and avoiding the occurrence of a power vacuum. At the very least, they should reach basic agreement on the political framework for the future arrangement. We are of the view that the transitional administration should be broad-based, fully represent the interests of all ethnic groups and live in amity with all countries, especially its neighbours. That is the only approach that can contribute to lasting peace.”

  3. “If it is not soon eased and contained, it will become a threat to the peace and stability of the whole region. With the changing situation on the battlefield in Afghanistan, the question of a potential power vacuum has cropped up. There are ever greater dangers of large-scale social chaos in that country. It is therefore imperative for the international community, the United Nations in particular, to accelerate the process of a political settlement of the Afghan question, including facilitating the establishment of a transitional administration, and to set in motion Afghanistan's reconstruction as soon as possible. At this critical juncture, the United Nations should play a leading role and provide, together with the international community, the necessary political, technical and financial assistance to Afghanistan on an urgent basis.”

  4. “Mr. Tang Jiaxuan (China) (spoke in Chinese): At the outset, I wish to thank the Secretary-General for his statement and his Special Representative, Mr. Brahimi, for his briefing. We endorse the Secretary-General's analysis of the situation in Afghanistan and the views contained in his statement. We believe that Mr. Brahimi's opinions and recommendations concerning the political arrangement, security, the humanitarian situation and the economic reconstruction of Afghanistan reflect the requirements of developments in the country and are positive and constructive. The Chinese Government will study them in depth. After two decades of civil war, the current situation in Afghanistan is all the more turbulent and complex. The humanitarian situation has further deteriorated and is having repercussions in the neighbouring countries.”

  5. “We have also stepped up counter-terrorism consultation and cooperation with relevant countries and established various counter-terrorism cooperation mechanisms. China will continue its unremitting efforts to combat terrorism and promote international cooperation in counter-terrorism. We support the document on counter-terrorism to be adopted at this meeting of the Council.”

  6. “China has always stood against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, and has adopted a series of administrative, judicial, economic and security measures in this regard. Soon after the Security Council adopted resolution 1373 (2001), the Chinese Government issued a circular calling for strict implementation of all the provisions of the resolution. China has already acceded to nine of the existing 12 international counter-terrorism conventions. Recently, China also completed its domestic legal procedures for joining the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings. China will soon become a signatory to the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism.”

  7. “It should be pointed out that it is not only the United States which is threatened by terrorism. Many other members of the Security Council present here have also suffered deeply from the scourge of terrorism. China, too, has been threatened by terrorism. The "East Turkestan" terrorist forces have long received training, financial aid and support from international terrorist groups. On numerous occasions, they have launched various kinds of terrorist activities in the Xinjiang region of China and in other countries, and brutally slaughtered innocent people. Clearly the "East Turkestan" terrorist forces are, purely and simply, a part of international terrorism, and should be resolutely fought against.”

  8. “The relevant resolutions adopted and the meetings held by the United Nations, including the Security Council, have played an important and irreplaceable role in fighting terrorism and promoting international cooperation. Like many other countries, China supports the United Nations and the Security Council as they continue to play a leading role in the fight against terrorism. The next priority for the Security Council should be to give full play to the role of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, with a view to monitoring and assisting Member States in implementing fully resolution 1373 (2001). Meanwhile, the Council should pay close attention to developments in the fight against terrorism and adopt timely measures to coordinate and promote the international counter-terrorism endeavour.”

  9. “The fight against terrorism is a protracted, complicated and arduous task. Measures should be taken to address both the symptoms and root causes of terrorism. The proper solutions to global issues such as poverty, regional conflicts and sustainable development will not only be conducive to the promotion of peace and development in the world but will also contribute to strengthening international cooperation against terrorism and to eradicating it. The United Nations is the most representative intergovernmental organization. Its Security Council shoulders the primary responsibility for safeguarding international peace and security.”

  10. “China holds that the strike against terrorism should be clearly targeted and try to avoid injuring innocent people, and should be in compliance with the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and other commonly acknowledged norms of international law. It should benefit the long-term peace and stability of different regions and the world as a whole. China believes that the fight against terrorism is a contest between peace and violence. We oppose linking terrorism to any specific religion or ethnicity. China also believes that there should be no double standards with regard to counter-terrorism. The international community should take a common stand against all forms of terrorist acts, condemn them in unison and carry out a resolute fight against them.”

  11. “The events of 11 September have shown that terrorism has not only posed a major threat to international peace and security but has also inflicted severe damage on the world economy. Terrorism is a brazen challenge to all of human civilization and a common enemy to humanity. All countries should adopt political, economic and judicial measures to intensify the punishment of terrorism, seriously implement the relevant Security Council resolutions, actively promote international cooperation in counter- terrorism and accede to all international counter- terrorism conventions at an early date.”

  12. “Mr. Tang Jiaxuan (China) (spoke in Chinese): First of all, on behalf of the Chinese delegation, I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the relatives and families of those who died as the result of the crash that occurred this morning. Since 11 September, counter-terrorism has become the focus of concern of the international community. It is of great importance for the Security Council to hold the ministerial meeting on counter- terrorism at such a time, which will help strengthen and promote the fight against terrorism by the international community. I would also like to welcome the Secretary-General and thank him for his participation and important remarks.”
