“On 18 December, the Security Council unanimously adopted 2254 (2015) on the political process in Syria. The resolution embodies the broad consensus within the international community and demonstrates the important role that the Council can play.

“We call on the parties in Syria to honour their respective obligations and to effectively implement resolution 2258 (2015) and all previous resolutions of the Security Council so as to ensure that cross-border relief can make a real difference in easing the suffering of the Syrian people. At present, fighting terrorism is the highest priority of the international community. We hope that the international community will give full consideration to the need to combat terrorism in delivering cross-border relief, and that it will form synergies in the fight against terrorism. A political settlement is the only way to resolve the crisis and an essential option for mitigating the humanitarian situation in Syria and relieving its people's suffering.”

“China welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 2258 (2015). The conflict among the various parties in Syria goes on. The humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate amidst the devastation wrought by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham and other terrorist organizations, bringing untold suffering to the Syrian people. China is deeply saddened by the situation and sympathizes with the plight of the Syrian people. China supports the efforts of the United Nations humanitarian agencies in undertaking relief activities and coordinating international assistance in Syria, on the basis of respect for Syrian sovereignty.”

“As a neighbour to Afghanistan and a good friend of the Afghan people, China has been a strong supporter of Afghanistan's efforts to explore a development path that takes into account its own conditions and reflects the aspirations of its people. China has been supporting Afghanistan's peace and reconstruction process in our own way, including by providing support and assistance based on the needs of the country. Recently, China announced the provision of Â¥/RMB 500 million in the form of gratis assistance, which will be used towards the construction of housing. And in the immediate aftermath of the recent earthquake, China provided humanitarian relief, materials and emergency cash assistance.”

“China welcomes Afghanistan's membership to the World Trade Organization and commends the positive results achieved at the fifth ministerial meeting of the Istanbul Process. China is ready to continue to work so as to ensure that that mechanism plays a greater role in Afghanistan's peace and reconstruction process. Countries in the region and the international community should continue to provide support and assistance to Afghanistan in terms of transportation, infrastructure, trade, investment, markets and tariffs, and should help the country fully leverage its advantages in terms of geography and resources with a view to enhancing its capacity for sustainable self-development. China welcomes Afghanistan's active participation in the Silk Road Initiative and supports the fact that Afghanistan may soon join the regional development tide.”

“Thirdly, it is imperative to improve the country's current security situation, which remains fragile. Armed clashes and terrorist activities, which have resulted in serious casualties among civilians, are a frequent occurrence. Countries in the region and the international community should adhere to a common, holistic and sustainable approach to security based on cooperation, and help the Afghan Government build capacity in that regard. They should also help the country's security and police forces effectively deal with all types of security threats and challenges. It is necessary to promote the exchange of information on counter-terrorism and border control, and to fight terrorism, transnational crime and drug smuggling jointly. Fourthly, continuous efforts are required to bring Afghanistan into the realm of regional cooperation.”

“Secondly, it is important to provide firm support for the peace process in Afghanistan, to push for an Afghan-led and -owned peace process and to achieve broad and inclusive political reconciliation as the ultimate way forward to resolve the Afghan question. China calls upon the different factions in Afghanistan to place the interests ofthe country and the people first, and to resume negotiations as soon as possible. We hope that the relevant countries will continue to provide the conditions necessary for the resumption of talks between the Afghan Government and the Taliban, and to provide assistance in that connection. China is ready, together with the countries concerned, to continue to play a constructive role in Afghanistan's peace process and to create platforms where the resumption of talks can be facilitated.”

“For that reason, the international community should continue to provide support and assistance on the basis of respect for the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of Afghanistan, and effectively honour its commitment to assist Afghanistan, and help the National Unity Government strengthen its capacity for self-reliance. We hope that the different sectors of Afghan society will grow in unity and continue to prioritize the resolution of their differences through dialogue and negotiation, and work together to achieve national reconstruction and economic social development.”

“In addition, the achievement of peace and prosperity remains a long-term task that calls for the unremitting efforts of the various sectors of Afghan society and the robust support of the international community. I should like to stress several points. First, it is necessary to continue to help the National Unity Government to strengthen its national governance. Judging from its rule over the past year, the Government is still pressing forward to explore its path of national development, despite the many challenges it faces.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank you, Madam President, for organizing today's meeting on Afghanistan. China listened carefully to the briefing provided by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, Mr. Haysom, and the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan, Ambassador Saikal. The year 2015 marks the starting point of the 10- year transitional period in Afghanistan. Over the past year, the National Unity Government made tremendous efforts to promote national stability, promote economic development, strengthen the rule of law and achieve positive results, which should be acknowledged by the international community. However, Afghanistan still faces serious challenges in terms of reconstruction and economic and social development.”

“The United Nations, the Security Council, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and UN-Women should leverage their strengths and enhance their coordination, based on their respective mandates, so as to form international synergy in combatting criminal activities, including human trafficking, and provide comprehensive protection for the rights of women and children in conflicts.”

“The international community should fully implement the Council's counter-terrorism resolutions, strengthen coordination and cooperation to form synergy in combating terrorism, fully cut off the financing channels of terrorist organizations and stop the cross- border movements of terrorists, and resolutely combat any terrorist and criminal activities that challenge the foundation of human civilization. Fourthly, we should strengthen cooperation to create synergy among various mechanisms.”
2015-12-16 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7585 (2015) · source
“The international community should strengthen its cooperation in effectively combating criminal activities, such as human trafficking, and in providing comprehensive security guarantees and humanitarian assistance to women and children in conflict areas. It should also vigorously advance political processes and promote national reconciliation and resolve differences through dialogue and consultation so as to eradicate the root causes of armed conflicts and create a stable external environment for the protection of women and children. Thirdly, priority should be given to further counter- terrorism efforts. Terrorism is a grave security threat to the international community. Human trafficking has become a source offinancing for terrorist organizations.”
2015-12-16 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7585 (2015) · source
“I should like to highlight the following points. First, the sovereignty of the countries involved should be respected and their role should be leveraged. The countries involved have the primary responsibility to protect women and children in their countries and to combat human trafficking. The international community should, on the basis of respecting the sovereignty of countries involved, provide constructive support and assist the countries involved in stepping up their capacity-building in counter-terrorism and border control so as to maintain stability and tranquillity in the country and the region. Secondly, an integrated approach should be taken to addressing both the symptoms and the root causes.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): The Chinese delegation welcomes the convening of this open meeting. I wish to thank all the briefers for their statements. In areas of armed conflict, women and children are always vulnerable and subject to all kinds of violence, harm and isolation. The international community is urgently called on to provide them with assistance. Recently, terrorist organizations, such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham and Boko Haram, are carrying out criminal activities, such as human trafficking in the Middle East and Africa, further jeopardizing the rights and interests of women and children, and leading to the deterioration of their living environment. The international community should closely coordinate and carry out joint efforts to step up the protection of women and children in conflicts.”

“China has actively mediated the negotiation process on the Iranian nuclear question, while playing a constructive role in such key issues as the modification of the Arak heavy-water reactor. Going forward, China will engage closely with all the parties and contribute to promoting the smooth implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.”

“China hopes that all concerned parties will seek tomeet each other half way, uphold the principles of synchronization and reciprocity, accommodate each other's concerns and ensure fairness and balance. Fourthly, China has noted the final assessment report of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on the possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear programme. We appreciate the constructive cooperation between the IAEA and Iran towards implementing the road map. The related resolution adopted today by the IAEA Board of Governors is conducive to ensuring the smooth start of the implementation of the JCPOA, for which China wishes to place its appreciation on record.”

“The Council should work in a balanced and objective manner so as to ensure the comprehensive implementation of its own resolutions, properly address sensitive issues and lend support to and coordinate with the implementation of the J CPOA, which is the paramount task. Thirdly, the various parties need to maintain their political will, effectively implement their commitments and promote the steady implementation of the JCPOA. The Iranian nuclear question is extremely complex and the implementation of the JCPOA has many unprecedented elements. As the implementation process unfolds, various problems, difficulties and even challenges are expected to emerge.”
2015-12-15 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7583 (2015) · source
“First, all concerned parties should prepare well for the implementation of resolution 2231 (2015). In accordance with the resolution's requirements and on the basis of the agreements reached among the parties, the Council should thoroughly prepare its mechanisms, procedures and tasks so as to exercise its authority and ensure the smooth implementation of the resolution. Secondly, all sides should accurately interpret the contents of the resolution with a view to fostering positive synergy towards the comprehensive, enduring and appropriate settlement of the Iranian nuclear question. On implementation day, the Council's sanctions will be lifted and replaced by restrictive measures.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Ambassador Oyarzun Marchesi for his briefing. I appreciate his efforts and those of his team to advance the work of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1737 (2006). China welcomes the on-schedule entry into force of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as an important milestone in the comprehensive, enduring and appropriate settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue. The fact that the P5+1 and Iran have acted in accordance with the time frame specified in the JCPOA is a practical demonstration of their political support for the agreement. As the JCPOA implementation day fast approaches, the Council's work on the Iranian nuclear issue will enter a new phase. In that context, China wishes to make a few comments.”

“China is open to a discussion of this question in the Council, and believes that the debate here should play a constructive role in alleviating the situation in Ukraine. China is opposed, as always, to the Council's involvement in country-specific human rights issues and to the use of unilateral sanctions, or the threat of the use of sanctions freely in international relations. That is detrimental to finding a lasting solution. As always, China respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, Ukraine included, and has remained objective and impartial on the question there. China calls upon all of the parties to remain calm and exercise restraint, to fully implement the Minsk agreements and to consolidate the hard-won ceasefire, so as to achieve peace, tranquillity, stability and development in Ukraine.”

“At present, all the parties should fully implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the four countries and the Council resolutions in an effort to further promote the political settlement of the crisis in Ukraine. The question of Ukraine involves a complicated history and reality. To find a fundamental and lasting solution to the problem in that country, we must address the legitimate rights, interests and concerns of all the ethnicities and regions within Ukraine, as well as the legitimate concerns of all the parties involved, in order to balance their interests. The international community should further strengthen diplomatic efforts to achieve a political settlement.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank the briefers for the information they have provided. For some time, the situation in eastern Ukraine has generally been stable, and the ceasefire has been maintained. The withdrawal of heavy weapons is under way. Last February, leaders from four countrie -, Russia, France, Germany and Ukraine - reached an important consensus in Minsk on a political settlement of the crisis in Ukraine. Subsequently, the Security Council adopted resolution 2202 (2015), thereby demonstrating the firm support of the international community for the diplomatic efforts of the leaders of the four countries for a political settlement of the Ukraine question.”

“China calls on all such parties to bear in mind the big picture and to make greater efforts to de-escalate the tension on the peninsula so as to promote dialogue and mutual trust, rather than the contrary. As a permanent member of the Security Council and the host country of the Six-Party Talks, China has for many years been actively promoting negotiation and dialogue for peace and has made unremitting efforts to maintain peace on the peninsula and achieve de-nuclearization. We hope that all parties will work with China to play a positive role in realizing the goals of de-nuclearization on the peninsula and safeguarding the common interests of all parties.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): China has already expressed its position against discussion in the Security Council of the human rights situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. China is always opposed to the Security Council's intervention in issues that concern a country's human rights. The Security Council is not the place to address human rights issues. More important, human rights issues should not be politicized. Currently, the situation on the Korean peninsula remains complicated and delicate. Maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula, realizing the goal of de-nuclearization on the peninsula and resolving relevant issues through dialogue and consultation are in the common interests of all the relevant parties.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): China is always opposed to intervention by the Council on issues concerning the human rights situation in any country. The Charter of the United Nations clearly lays out the functions and division of labour among the major organs of the United Nations, which should discharge their respective responsibilities and refrain from encroaching on the functions of others. As bearer of the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, the Council should devote itself to addressing threats to international peace and security. It is not the venue for addressing issues of human rights, and the human rights situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea does not constitute a threat to international peace and security.”

“It is China's hope that all the parties will continue to try to meet one another halfway while understanding and accommodating one another. It is essential to stick to the principles of synchronization and reciprocity in accommodating everyone's concerns. The pursuit of one goal should not come at the expense of another, lest balance and equity be lost. China is pleased with the sound cooperative momentum being maintained between the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Iran. We encourage Iran to further strengthen its communication and cooperation with the Agency and, in line with the road map signed with the IAEA, solve all the outstanding issues as soon as possible. China has continued to play a constructive mediating role during the entire negotiation process.”

“It is a good plan of action in that it is conducive to maintaining the international non-proliferation regime and promoting peace and stability in the Middle East, thus having a positive impact on the settlement of other international and regional issues. It is to be hoped that all parties will work in concert to implement it. Agreement on the Plan of Action, however, is only the first step towards a proper settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue. What is more important is the follow-up. The Iranian nuclear issue itself is extremely complicated, with many problems that have to be addressed in the Plan of Action's implementation, and no precedent to draw on. It should be anticipated that in a decade-long period of implementation, various questions, difficulties and challenges will arise.”

“It should tackle such sensitive issues as individual violations of Council resolutions, both in terms of ensuring the implementation of those resolutions and in supporting and facilitating the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action so as to prevent the possibility of any measures adding to the complications of implementation. In that spirit, China will take part in the Committee's various efforts in a responsible manner, while encouraging it to play its due role. In July, the Council adopted resolution 2231 (2015), which endorses the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreed on between the P5+1 and Iran on the Iranian nuclear issue.”

China has always believed that sanctions are not the goal ofresolutions, nor a measure ofprogress in the work of the Committee. Under the current circumstances, the Committee should conduct its work in a balanced and objective manner.”

We hope that UNMIK, the European Union Rule of Law Mission and the Kosovo Force will carry out the tasks assigned under their respective mandates and strengthen their coordination and cooperation in order to play a constructive role in finding an appropriate settlement of the question of Kosovo.”

“The current situation in Kosovo by and large continues to be stable, but still faces complex issues. China appreciates the vigorous efforts made by the Serbian Government to find a political solution to the Kosovo issue, and welcomes the fact that Belgrade and Pristina have recently continued to hold high-level talks. China supports the efforts by both parties to continue to pursue pragmatic and constructive dialogue in order to implement the existing agreements and to effectively protect the rights and interests of different ethnicities in Kosovo. The parties must continue their efforts to resolve their differences through dialogue and avoid any actions that may lead to further complicating or escalating the situation. Doing that would be conducive to the maintenance ofpeace and security in the Balkans and throughout Europe.”

China also listened carefully to the statement made by Mr. Thaci. China respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia and understands the legitimate concerns of Serbia on the question of Kosovo.

“Over the years, the African Union and other regional and subregional organizations have done a great deal of work and build up a wealth of experience in helping post-conflict countries with their SSR efforts. The United Nations should encourage such organizations to scale up their participation in SSR and support them in playing a greater role. In addition, the United Nations should bolster its communication and coordination with the organizations concerned through information-sharing and exchanging best practices in order to build synergies on SSR. This year, the United Nations will carry out a comprehensive review of its peacebuilding architecture in order to take stock of positive experiences in peacebuilding over the past decade and promote the peacebuilding undertaking.”

“Efforts should also be made to avoid stereotyping and a one-size-fits-all approach. Thirdly, the Organization must implement policies in an integrated manner. Security sector reform is central to peacebuilding in post-conflict coutries. The United Nations should act mindful of the need to comprehensively implement peacebuilding strategies, reinforce integrated planning on SSR and ensure that SSR is closely combined with efforts to achieve national reconciliation, promote coordinated social and economic development and eradicate poverty, among other things. It should also ensure the eradication of the root causes of conflict so as to achieve lasting peace and security. Fourthly, regional and subregional organizations should play their full role.”

“In assisting host countries with SSR efforts, the United Nations and other entities should respect the sovereignty and ownership of the host countries. While providing construcive assistance in line with their needs, their is also a need to avoid micromanagement. More important, a guest should never usurp the role of the host. Secondly, the United Nations should adhere to the principle of adapting SSR to local specificities. Post- conflict countries face myriad challenges that vary from country to country, and their SSR needs vary as well. While providing assistance to countries for their SSR processes, the United Nations needs to reflect the differences in line with their realities and specific conditions. It must develop a policy for each country, while identifying priority areas and the focus for the work.”

“In recent years, the United Nations has actively assisted the SSR efforts of post-conflict countries and has achieved positive results. Sierra Leone and Liberia, among other countries, have gradually restored stability, and their security sectors have once again taken on their essential responsibility for national stability. However, in some other post-conflict countries SSR continues to face considerable challenges. Member States must seriously review good practices and lessons learned and, on the basis of existing achievements, further explore how to improve SSR. China would like to make four points on this issue. First, it is important to observe national ownership of the SSR process. The maintenance of national security is the sovereign right of a State, and the host country should have ownership of the SSR process.”

I would like to thank Assistant Secretary-General Titov, Special Representative of the Secretary-General Bangura and Assistant Administrator Nakamitsu for their respective briefings. Security sector reform is an integral part and essential element of United Nations peacekeeping and peacebuilding. United Nations SSR assistance to post-conflict countries aimed at building professional, efficient and dedicated security sectors is conducive to the maintenance of peace, security and stability in recipient countries, as well as helpful in creating enabling conditions for post-conflict reconstruction in those countries.”

“Secondly, the good offices of the countries of the region, particularly those with influence, must be actively carried out; those countries must fully play their role. Thirdly, it is essential that the broadest possible participation of all stakeholders be ensured, and it is necessary that the United Nations, and the Security Council in particular, remain unified with respect to the question of Syria. China has always supported the United Nations in playing a leading role on the question of Syria. We recently welcomed Special Envoy De Mistura to China and encouraged him to continue to play an active role in seeking the political settlement of the question of Syria. China will continue to play an active and constructive role in bringing about a comprehensive, just and appropriate settlement of the question of Syria.”

Finding a comprehensive, lasting and appropriate solution to the question of Syria is consistent with the common interests of the people of Syria and the countries of the region and the international community as a whole. The situation in Syria is now at crucial juncture. The international community should be unwaveringly committed to seeking a political settlement, setting forth clear targets and making concerted efforts. The priority tasks at this moment should be, first, to promote early and unconditional participation by all sides in the negotiations and dialogue with a View to reaching a settlement plan that is suitable to the situation of the country and accommodates the interests of all sides.”

“China supports the establishment of an independent State of Palestine with full sovereignty on the basis of the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. China wishes to see Palestine and Israel enjoy common peace and security. China is open to all initiatives conducive to resuming the dialogue and negotiations. China has always, through its own ways and means, actively promoted peace among the parties concerned. China has long provided assistance within our capacity to support capacity-building in Palestine and ease the humanitarian situation in Gaza. We are ready to work with other parties in the international community to make more contributions to the achievement of peace between Palestine and Israel, in favour of stability in the region.”

China also supports the Security Council in its efforts to play its rightful role on this question, actively respond to the legitimate demands of Palestine and the Arab countries and take concrete measures to promote peace talks, bring about an end to occupation and promote reconstruction in Gaza.

Palestine and Israel must both be committed to taking the strategic option of peace talks, strengthen their confidence in peace, maintain their patience with regard to peace talks, demonstrate their determination to achieve peace, and resume as soon as possible and promote the peace talks. We hope that the Israeli Government will take credible measures to create the conditions for peace talks, including steps to halt the construction of settlements, release the detained Palestinians and completely lift the blockade against Gaza. At the same time, Israel's legitimate security concerns should also be seriously addressed.”

I also listened attentively to the statements made by the representatives of Palestine and Israel. Recently, the situation between Palestine and Israel has remained tense. The Middle East peace process remains bogged down. China has always believed that achieving independent statehood for Palestine and peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel through peace talks is the only viable way to address the Israel-Palestine question. There is no winner in this conflict.”

“China hopes that all parties will respect the results of the negotiations in Lausanne, pay attention to and resolve in a reasonable way all the legitimate concerns of all parties, avoid various actions aimed at interfering with each other and be decisive in making a timely political decision, so that a comprehensive agreement can be reached according to schedule. An early comprehensive agreement on the Iran nuclear issue will contribute to the international non-proliferation regime and will also contribute to peace and stability in the Middle East. As a major party to the negotiations, China has always played a constructive role in moving the negotiations forward by taking a just and objective position.”
