1. “China has always followed very closely the situation in the region, and we hope that the situation in Kosovo will remain stable and that new uncertainties will not arise in the Balkan region. We have noted that, thanks to the concerted efforts of UNMIK and of the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government, considerable progress has been made in the implementation of standards. However, many challenges still remain in the economic, social and cultural fields and with respect to the problem of refugees. The progress achieved in standards implementation will serve as a basis for the future status of Kosovo. It reflects the need to build a harmonious society in Kosovo in which all ethnic groups can coexist.”

33. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of China. China has always been very careful about adoption of sanctions by the Security Council. Past practices and experiences reveal that, more often than not, sanctions cannot reach expected results. On the contrary, sanctions victimize civilian populations. Therefore, China abstained in the voting on resolutions 1556 (2004), 1564 (2004) and 1591 (2005). Just now, China abstained in the voting on resolution 1672 (2006). More importantly, China believes that the timing for adopting such a resolution is not right. During the course of consultations, many Council members, including African members, repeatedly expressed such concern about the timing. The African Union-led Abuja peace talks are currently at a crucial juncture.”
