1. “In order to promote the ongoing development of the Afghan peace process, and especially to ensure the successful conduct of general elections in Afghanistan, we believe that the international community should carry out the commitments it made at the Berlin conference as soon as possible. First, it should strengthen assistance to security in Afghanistan. In that context, we hope that the International Security Assistance Force can expand the scope of its deployment as soon as possible and establish new provincial reconstruction teams. Secondly, donors should earnestly and promptly provide the relevant economic and financial assistance. Thirdly, the international community should further support and cooperate with the counter-narcotics efforts the Afghan Government is making.”

2. “We support the ongoing adoption by the Afghanistan Government of measures aimed at improving the security situation, accelerating security reform, promoting disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, and strengthening the legal system. We sincerely hope that all the ethnic groups and factions in Afghanistan can continue to give priority to the overall interests of the nation and to strengthening the unity and the joint efforts to build an attractive future for Afghanistan. Peace and development cannot be achieved in Afghanistan without the support and help of the international community. We appreciate and support the important roles of the United Nations, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan.”

3. “The declaration also solidified the commitment of the international community to supporting the reconstruction of Afghanistan and will surely have a very profound impact on the future of that country. In the two years since the signing of the Bonn Agreement, the peace process in Afghanistan has made positive progress evident to all. The process is currently at a crucial stage. We welcome the intention of the transitional Government of Afghanistan to hold presidential and legislative elections this September. It is our hope that, through free and fair elections, a broad-based, representative Government capable of addressing all ethnic interests can be established. That will have a significant impact on the achievement of the goals set out in the Bonn Agreement.”

I also thank Ambassador De La Sabliere and the French mission for their outstanding work during their presidency last month. I thank Under-Secretary-General Guehenno and you for your briefings on the Berlin conference on Afghanistan. The conference was undoubtedly very important and achieved highly significant and commendable results. The Berlin declaration and its annexes, adopted at the conference, embody the firm commitment of the Afghan transitional Government and the Afghan people to making their country into one of peace, stability and development.”

5. “We are deeply worried about the potential impact that the assassination of Sheikh Yassin may have on the regional situation and on the Middle East peace process. China calls upon the various parties to exercise restraint under current circumstances, and to refrain from taking any actions that might further escalate the tension. At this critical juncture, the international community must work even harder and take effective measures to stabilize the situation and urge the Israeli and Palestinian sides to resume their peace talks as early as possible. The only effective way to achieve peace between Israel and Palestine is to seek a comprehensive solution through negotiation, based on relevant Security Council resolutions.”

6. “Mr. Wang Guangya (China) (spoke in Chinese): China opposes and condemns the assassination of Sheikh Yassin by Israel. The practice of targeted removal by Israel violates international law and is therefore unacceptable. We are in favour of a prompt and appropriate response by the Security Council, and in principle we agree with the draft presidential statement proposed by Algeria on behalf of the Arab States. We regret the Security Council's failure to reach consensus on that draft statement. We have always held the View that the Middle East issue is extremely complex. Meeting violence with violence will not help matters. On the contrary, it can lead only to more violence and conflict and result in the further deterioration of the situation.”

China has always closely followed developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We will continue to work with the international community in making a contribution to the achievement of lasting peace and stability and economic development in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

8. “We would like to congratulate the Government and the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we sincerely hope that the Bosnian parties will continue their efforts in this respect by further improving mutual trust and cooperation and continuing to forge ahead with the peace process. At the same time, we have taken note of the fact that building the capacity of the governing institutions at the State level in Bosnia and Herzegovina needs to be further improved. In particular, the police and judicial reform process still faces certain challenges. We are of the view that it would be appropriate for the High Representative to make that process a priority in his work for the first half of the year. We support the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina's active cooperation with the High Representative in carrying out his work.”

We were pleased to learn that the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is stabilizing. Ethnic relations are improving, the economic reconstruction effort is beginning to yield results, the process of refugee return is nearing completion and relations with neighbouring countries are improving daily. Such progress in the peace process in Bosnia and Herzegovina - which has not come easily - is encouraging.”

50. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of China. The Chinese delegation would like to thank the Ambassadors of the United States and the United Kingdom for their briefings on behalf of the Coalition Provisional Authority. We welcome the United Nations team going to Iraq and carrying out a fact-finding mission and we welcome the detailed report they have submitted. We highly appreciate the efforts made by Mr. Brahimi and his team. China sincerely hopes that Iraq can smoothly restore its sovereignty and independence and realize as soon as possible peace, democracy and development. Currently, the Iraqi situation has entered a new and crucial stage. The political process is both dynamic and faced with challenges. We support the United Nations continuing to play an important role.”
