“We have every reason to believe that, with the efforts of the Afghan Government and people and the support of the international community, Afghanistan will continue to achieve remarkable results in the new phase of its national reconstruction.”

“To ensure mutual benefit, win-win results and joint progress, we stand ready to scrupulously implement the Declaration on Good Neighbourly Relations, the Declaration on Counter- Narcotics, within the framework of the Kabul Declaration, and the Declaration on Encouraging Closer Cooperation in Trade, Border Crossing and Investment, and other major instruments. China is ready to honour the new pledges made at the international Conference on Afghanistan and to continue, as always, to provide long-term cooperation and support to Afghanistan. Even though the road ahead may not be smooth, the Afghan people, who have gone through so many tribulations, cherish peace and stability and yearn for security and development.”

“Thirdly, the international community should sustain its attention and input regarding Afghanistan and ensure timely delivery of pledged assistance. At the same time, it should also carefully heed and respect Afghanistan's concerns and proposals and encourage it to continue to enhance its sense of ownership and assume more responsibilities. Regional cooperation is an effective way for the international community and neighbouring countries to help Afghanistan achieve stability, development and integration with the international community. We hope that Afghanistan and the neighbouring countries will fully utilize existing mechanisms, deepen regional cooperation, enhance mutual political trust and seek joint development. As a good neighbour of Afghanistan, China has always closely followed the peace and reconstruction process there.”

“In order to implement the Afghanistan Compact and consolidate the Bonn Process, the Afghan Government should first focus, on a priority basis, on stability and development and should complete basic reconstruction in the areas of administration, economy and the rule of law so that the Afghan people can better enjoy the dividends of peace and stability. Next, the United Nations should continue to play a central and coordinating role in the peace and reconstruction of Afghanistan and in international assistance. In this connection, China endorses the Secretary-General's relevant recommendations and agrees to a one-year extension of UNAMA and adjustments to its mandate so that it can better accomplish the mandate entrusted to it by the Security Council.”

“The question of narcotics and the activities of extremists and terrorists remain a threat to the peace and stability of Afghanistan. Against this backdrop the London Conference on Afghanistan signed the Afghanistan Compact and endorsed the interim Afghanistan National Development Strategy submitted by the Afghan Government. It not only embodies the consensus and determination of the international community, but it also proposes specific measures and a pragmatic time frame for peace and the reconstruction of Afghanistan in the next five years. It also marks the beginning of a new phase in peace and reconstruction of Afghanistan.”

“The national army and national police have begun to assume greater responsibilities in maintaining national security. Afghanistan is actively seeking international and regional cooperation to create a favourable environment for national stability and development. These achievements would not have been possible without the assiduous efforts of the Afghan Government and people, the generous support of the international community and the hard work of UNAMA. At the same time, the peace and reconstruction process in Afghanistan is still confronting a multitude of difficulties and challenges. The ability of the Afghan national institutions needs to be further strengthened. Economic and social development cannot yet meet the people's basic needs.”

“Mr. Wang Guangya (China) (spoke in Chinese): The Chinese delegation welcomes Mr. Tom Koenigs to the Security Council to give his first briefing to the Council in his capacity as Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan. We congratulate him again on his assumption of this important post. China will continue to fully support him and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in their work. Afghanistan has completed the political transition process stipulated in the Bonn Agreement and has taken preliminary steps to establish modern institutions of national authority. The national economy is maintaining a fairly rapid growth momentum, and there have been improvements in people's livelihoods. The reconfiguration and reform of the security sector is moving forward at a steady pace.”

“Thirdly, regarding the deployment, extension and conclusion of peacekeeping operations and the defining of their mandates and scale, the Security Council is in duty bound to assume primary responsibility in that regard. However, issues involving the use of peacekeeping funds in procurement management should preferably be referred to the General Assembly and its subsidiary organs, in keeping with the principle of division of labour among United Nations bodies. That would help all entities to play their proper roles, prevent duplication and facilitate mutual oversight.”

“With regard to the problems related to peacekeeping procurement that have come to light, China hopes that the Secretariat will carefully look into cases that involve violations of rules and regulations and take stern disciplinary action. At the same time, lessons should be learned so as to effectively improve the management system, intensify oversight, and forestall any recurrences of such cases. Secondly, China has noted that the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) has completed its consolidated evaluation report, but that relevant investigations are still going on. We hope that, upon completion of the investigations, the Secretariat will submit a timely report on the findings and the handling of the cases.”

“Mr. Wang Guangya (China) (spoke in Chinese): Let me at the outset thank the Secretariat for its briefing. The Chinese delegation would like to make three preliminary comments. First, peacekeeping operations are one of the most effective measures used by the United Nations to maintain peace and achieving collective security. In recent years, due to the ever-increasing new mandates, requirements for peacekeeping funds have been on the rise. Peacekeeping assessments have exceeded the regular budget of the United Nations. Therefore, greater attention is naturally being paid by all sides to the use and management of peacekeeping funds.”

“Only then can there be hope that this scourge on mankind will finally be eliminated. Finally, I wish to reiterate that resolutely fighting terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is both a common obligation of all countries and the basis on which the Security Council can deepen counter- terrorism cooperation. China will continue to take an active and constructive approach in promoting genuine and effective implementation of the relevant resolutions of the Security Council.”

“If one pays attention only to combating terrorist individuals or entities endangering one's own country while turning a deaf ear to the legitimate demands of other countries or even blocking other countries' efforts, or if one is focused only on combating individuals or entities currently plotting terrorist attacks while showing leniency towards, or even deliberately shielding, terrorist forces which lie low and conceal their true colours, then there is little hope that international anti- terrorism cooperation can develop smoothly and continue in the future. Only when countries regard terrorist forces threatening other countries as their own enemies and join hands with other countries in effectively combating such forces will all the gaps in the international struggle against terrorism be filled.”

“Numerous innocent civilians, including many Chinese citizens, have been deprived of their right to life in a most cruel manner. Bloody events have shown once again that the threat of terrorism is ever- present and that no country can hope to remain unaffected by minding its own business. A poisonous snake will hurt people no matter what disguise it wears.”

“The CTC should continue its efforts to help developing countries build their counter- terrorism capacity and should expedite the implementation of the provisions of resolution 1624 (2005). The 1540 Committee should focus its attention on the key task of producing by April a comprehensive, objective and balanced report. Moreover, it is our hope that the three Committees and their subsidiary bodies - the Monitoring Group, the Executive Directorate and the group of experts - will strengthen their cooperation and coordination and put forward as soon as possible practicable recommendations for improvements in areas such as the simplification of reporting mechanisms. Terrorism continues to wreak havoc in various parts of the world.”

“All of that is conducive to the effective worldwide implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions and to the strengthening of the Security Council's constructive role in the international struggle against terrorism. China would like to express its appreciation for the outstanding work carried out by the three Chairpersons and the Committees under their leadership. We believe that in the ensuing stage the 1267 Committee should, in connection with the revision of its work guidelines, further improve listing and delisting procedures so as to ensure the fairness and integrity of the consolidated list and that it should work to reduce the number of pending issues.”

“Over the past three months, the 1267 Committee partly completed its revision of the guidelines for the conduct of its work and started the initial stage of its cooperation with Interpol; the Counter- Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) was reviewed by the Security Council and became fully operational; the CTC made progress in clearing its backlog and in facilitating technical assistance; and the 1540 Committee not only carefully considered reports submitted by Member States but also played an active role in coordinating the assistance provided to Member States in their implementation of the resolution.”

I should like once again to congratulate Ambassador Burian on his assumption of the important post of Chairman of the 1540 Committee.”

“Respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia and Montenegro is of paramount importance to the status talks. The full and equal participation of all parties in the process will be equally important to regional peace and stability. China welcomes the forthcoming meeting between Serbia and Montenegro and the Kosovo Albanians in Vienna. It is our hope that the meeting will contribute to the sound evolution of the status talks.”

“It is in the long-term and fundamental interests of all ethnic groups and parties in Kosovo to reach a compromise on the status of Kosovo and to establish peaceful coexistence among all ethnic groups in the region. It can be assumed that future talks will be fraught with difficulties and uncertainty that will require all parties to demonstrate the necessary flexibility and pragmatism, to avoid haste and not to prejudge the outcomes of the talks. In the meantime, Kosovo's unique history must be kept in mind, and the peace and stability of the entire Balkan region must be our ultimate objective. Only thus can Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) be implemented to promote a lasting solution to the question of Kosovo.”

“China notes last month's meeting of the foreign ministers of the Contact Group on the question of Kosovo. Members of the Group still have major differences concerning the future status of Kosovo. Serbia and Montenegro and the Kosovo Provisional Institutions of Self-Government have expressed their respective concerns to the Security Council and the international community as a whole. In those circumstances, we need both the political will to accelerate the status talks and safeguards for the rights and interests of all ethnic groups in Kosovo so as to enhance mutual trust and to create an environment and basis conducive to the talks.”

We also welcome the presence of President Tadic of the Republic of Serbia and thank him for his important statement. We offer our condolences on the passing of Mr. Rugova. At the same time, we congratulate Mr. Sejdiu on his election as President of Kosovo. Although some progress has been made since the onset of the status process, many problems remain. Measures should be taken promptly to implement standards in all fields so as to achieve progress as soon as possible in such priority areas as dialogue on the question of returns, outreach to ethnic minorities, and decentralization, and to carry out comprehensive reform in local Governments in preparation for the status talks.”

“In conclusion, the Chinese delegation supports the draft resolution prepared by the United Republic of Tanzania (S/2006/51) and would like to thank the Permanent Mission of Tanzania for its diligent work in that regard. We believe that the adoption of the draft resolution will have a positive impact on the efforts to promote the stability and development of the Great Lakes region.”

“We hope that the newly established Peacebuilding Commission will also make the post-conflict reconstruction of the Great Lakes region a priority item on its agenda. As a true friend to all countries of the Great Lakes region, China has always followed closely the developments in the situation in the region. We have made practical efforts to promote the peace processes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Burundi, we have actively participated in United Nations peacekeeping operations, and we have provided bilateral assistance, within our capacities, to the economic and social development of those two countries. We are ready to continue and strengthen our comprehensive cooperation with countries of the Great Lakes region and to play a positive role in promoting the early achievement of lasting peace and prosperity in the region.”

“In Burundi's transition towards post-conflict reconstruction, international assistance remains essential. We hope that the international community and other African regions will continue to actively support the Democratic Republic of the Congo in its disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme and the election process and help consolidate peace in Burundi. It remains imperative that we support the unremitting efforts of those two countries to achieve peace, stability and economic reconstruction. China wholeheartedly supports the continued important United Nations role in that regard. The Security Council should give positive consideration to all reasonable requests of the countries of the region and act accordingly.”

“All countries concerned should honour the commitments they have undertaken and restore stability throughout the Great Lakes region and ensure good-neighbourly relations among each other in pursuit of peace, prosperity and the development of the region as a whole. We hope that the second Summit of the International Conference for the Great Lakes Region will be convened soon and that it will once again be crowned with success, producing a programme of action for the promotion of the peace, harmony, development and progress of the Great Lakes region. Thirdly, assistance by the international community should be maintained and increased. The political process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is at a critical juncture. Preparations for the elections urgently require the support of the international community.”

“The advance of political transition in both the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi is based on the broad support of the people. The facts on the ground show that, without the political will of the countries concerned and the participation of the local people, there cannot be lasting peace. In helping the countries of the Great Lakes region, the international community should heed their concerns and their proposals. Secondly, comprehensive cooperation at the subregional level should be further strengthened. The interests of the countries of the Great Lakes region are closely linked. It is vital for the countries and the parties concerned in the region to seek a proper solution to the relevant issues through consultations and dialogue on the basis of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“The Great Lakes region is endowed with rich natural resources, and now that the situation is moving in a positive direction, we are convinced that it will not be long before peace is fully restored and stable development achieved in the region. China is of the view that in order to resolve the conflict in the Great Lakes region in a comprehensive manner, achieve national reconciliation and bring the political transition to fruition so that the region can embark on the road to sustainable development, a number of issues require special attention. First, the will of the countries concerned must be fully respected. The positive developments in the Great Lakes region are inseparable from the will and efforts of the Governments and peoples concerned.”

“There is common understanding on all sides that without stability in the Great Lakes region, there can be no peace in Africa, and that without prosperity in the Great Lakes region, Africa's renaissance cannot take place. China supports United Nations efforts to address the special needs of the Great Lakes region and advocates that the Security Council put the question at the top of its agenda and make more substantial inputs. There is an old saying in Chinese: With united and determined will, mountains can be moved. The hard-working and ingenious people of the Great Lakes region long for a stable and prosperous life. That is their will, which, in due course, will yield the hoped- for results.”

“I would also like to welcome the Foreign Minister of Belgium, the European Union Commissioner and the special envoys of the Netherlands and of Canada, who have come here to participate in our discussion. During the past decade or so, the Great Lakes region has witnessed a great deal of turbulence and conflict, which has had a huge impact on peace, security, economic development and social stability in that region and in the African continent as a whole. In recent years, despite the continuation of disputes and conflicts in some areas and the constraints on overall economic and social development, encouraging progress has been achieved as a result of the efforts of the countries and peoples of the region, with the assistance of the international community.”

I would like to extend a warm welcome to the Foreign Ministers and other high officials of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Namibia, Botswana, Rwanda, the Sudan, Burundi, Angola, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Uganda and Zambia, as well as to the representatives of the African Union, who have travelled from afar to attend this important meeting.”

“In conclusion, I urge donors, the United Nations system and international financial institutions to continue to devote attention to Timor-Leste and to provide it with generous help, so that it can embark on the path of sustainable development. China will, as always, support the country in its efforts related to independence and nation-building. We will develop trade and economic cooperation with it and continue our help to the extent of our ability.”

“China expresses its understanding of and agreement with such a request, and we call on the Council seriously to consider that request and reach agreement on the relevant arrangements in a timely manner so as to ensure the lasting stability and development of the country. Thirdly, properly addressing the outstanding problems with the country's neighbours will not only create a positive environment for its long-term development but also contribute significantly to regional peace and stability. In that respect, the Timorese leadership under President Gusmao has demonstrated exceptional political wisdom and courage by taking strategic decisions with foresight. We would stress our admiration and appreciation, and we appeal for the support and respect of the international community.”

“In that respect, I believe that, first, UNOTIL should, within its remaining mandate, focus more closely on the transfer of skills and knowledge, with a View to enhancing capacity-building in the country, and that it should also continue to cooperate with international and bilateral partners in the process of making adequate and careful arrangements aimed at ensuring the continued functioning of State institutions following UNOTIL's withdrawal. Secondly, the Secretary-General points out in his report that the presidential and parliamentary elections in 2007 will represent a major challenge to the country. In that respect, the Timorese Government has asked the United Nations to consider the establishment of a special political office to help ensure the successful holding of the elections.”

“I should like to express our appreciation to the United Nations Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL) for its work in that respect. At the same time, we should realize also that Timor-Leste, as one of the poorest countries in the world, has little infrastructure to start with and that the road towards nation-building has not been easy. The question of how to continue with the success story of Timor-Leste is not only the unshirkable responsibility of the international community but also merits serious consideration by the Council.”

We would also like to thank Mr. Hasegawa, the Special Representative of the Secretary- General, for his presence at this meeting and for his briefing. China is very pleased to note that, thanks to the outstanding leadership of the President of Timor-Leste, the situation in the country has remained calm; that the Government has, step by step, strengthened its capacity to run the country; that the rule of law has also been gradually strengthened; and that Timor-Leste's relations with neighbouring States have also been enhanced. Here we would like warmly to congratulate the Timorese Government and people on the achievements they have made in their nation-building undertakings.”

“Women have played an important - indeed, irreplaceable - role in the formation of human civilization and the promotion of social development. Progress for women is progress for all of humankind. A popular Chinese saying has it that women hold up half of the sky. We hope that, through our common efforts, mothers, wives and daughters will no longer shed their tears at the horrors of war and that all our sisters worldwide will lead happy and peaceful lives. We believe that our world will then be a brighter and more beautiful place.”

“Fourthly, a summary should be prepared of successful experiences in protecting women's rights, with a view to sharing and actively replicating them. Efforts should be made to enhance awareness of the need to protect women's rights and to ensure that words are translated into deeds. Fifthly, work carried out on this issue by the relevant bodies should be effectively coordinated. All parties should be encouraged to take steps with the strength born of collective action and to make every effort to achieve the best possible outcome. Organs such as the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council have been considering women's issues for many years and have rich experience to offer. The Security Council should coordinate its activities with theirs.”

“Secondly, crimes of sexual assault must be punished more harshly; violence against women must be more seriously investigated and its perpetrators must be brought to justice. United Nations peacekeeping operations must continue to pursue a zero-tolerance policy to ensure strict compliance with rules and adherence to standards. Thirdly, women should be encouraged to participate in peace processes at all stages. In particular, it is essential to ensure that they have decision-making power so that the special needs and the role of women will be reflected in conflict and post-conflict processes. Women are both the primary victims of armed conflicts of all kinds and indispensable participants in the resolution of any conflict. Their ardent yearning for peace enables them to play a more important role in the promotion of peace processes.”

“At the recent High-level Plenary Meeting of the General Assembly, world leaders once again stressed the important role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts and in peacebuilding and reaffirmed their commitment to the full and effective implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). Five years on, when we look back on the road we have travelled and forward to the path ahead, we can see that a great deal of work remains to be done in attaining the goals defined in resolution 1325 (2000). First, we must strive to eliminate the root causes of armed conflict and strengthen our conflict prevention and early warning systems in order to create an environment favourable to protecting women from the harm that is caused by war. In other words, we must cure the disease by addressing its root causes.”

The international community now attaches greater importance to the role of women in the settlement of armed conflicts, and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations has mandated that enhanced protection of women be a very important component of the daily work of peacekeeping operations. Both at Headquarters and in many peacekeeping operations, gender advisers have been appointed.”

Those anniversaries lend particular significance to this open debate on the question of women and peace and security. Five years ago the Security Council adopted resolution 1325 (2000), which focused the international community's attention on the question of women and armed conflict and which provided guidance for the endeavour to promote gender equality, protect women's rights and expand the role played by women.”

A hyperlink to that video blog remains on the website of the East Turkistan Information Centre, which is another terrorist organization listed by the Chinese Government. That flagrant incitement to terrorism shows once again that the Eastern Turkistan Liberation Organization and other East Turkistan groups are extremely violent terrorist organizations.”

“As set out in the summit outcome document and in Security Council resolution 1624 (2005), terrorism, in all its forms and manifestations, irrespective of its motivation, whenever and by whomsoever committed, poses serious threats to international and regional peace and security and should be condemned in the strongest terms. The eastern Turkistan terrorists have been rampantly carrying out activities in Xinjiang, China, committing numerous crimes and colluding with other international terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaida and the Taliban. Thus, they not only pose a terrorist threat to China but also seriously jeopardize peace and stability in the region. It must be pointed out in particular that the Eastern Turkistan Liberation Organization is one of the terrorist organizations listed by China.”

I wish to stress once again that the three Committees and their expert groups should maintain and enhance their synergy and coordination and further develop a complementary relationship. The resolute fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations continues to present a major challenge to the international community. Acts of violence such as the bombings in Bali, Indonesia, and the terrorist attack in Nalchik, Russia, have sounded yet another serious warning that terrorists continue to run rampant and to blatantly challenge us. We express out deepest condolences to the families of the victims of such attacks.”

I should like to take this opportunity to commend the three Chairpersons for their work. I should like also to make the following comments on the focus of the work of the three Committees in the next phase. The 1267 Committee should step up its efforts to conclude the revision of its guidelines and enhance its sanctions measures and working procedures. The CTC should focus on providing comprehensive policy guidance to the CTED and step up its efforts to carry out the new tasks set out by resolution 1624 (2005). The 1540 Committee should continue to urge those Member States that have not yet submitted their reports to do so as soon as possible.”

“Mr. Wang Guangya (China) (spoke in Chinese): The Chinese delegation wishes to thank Ambassadors Mayoral, Loj and Motoc for their respective briefings on the work of the three Committees and on their work programme for the next stage. We note with satisfaction that, since the last meeting at which briefings were made, the three Committees have made progress in their work. The Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) concerning Al-Qaida and the Taliban and associated individuals and entities has conducted a preliminary review of the third report of the Monitoring Team, and the Team made another round of visits to the countries concerned. The Counter-Terrorism Executive Directorate (CTED) is now fully operational, with all its staff on board, and has further improved the efficiency and quality of its work.”
