1. “In furthering the implementation of the Council's resolutions on women and peace and security, I wish to make the following four points. First, the Council bears the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. The Council should focus on the prevention of conflicts, peacekeeping and post-conflict reconstruction and on creating an enabling political, security and legal environment for the protection and promotion of women's rights. When deliberating on conflict and post-conflict situations, the Council should include as central elements the protection of women and their rights. In honouring its commitment to women and peace and security, the Council should abide strictly by the mandate as conferred by the relevant Council resolutions.”

2. “In considering women and peace and security, it is important that the Council not only focus on the protection of women's security and safeguarding their rights in conflict and post-conflict situations, but also recognize the unique role played by women in peace processes and seek ways to bring them onboard in advancing global peace and security. By adopting resolution 1325 (2000), the Council laid the foundations for the international community to establish cooperation in the field of women and peace and security. In recent years, thanks to joint efforts by Member States, international organizations such as the United Nations and regional organizations, progress has been made in the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000).”

3. “Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank Deputy Secretary-General Eliasson for attending today's meeting and for his statement. I have listened carefully to the briefings by Ms. Bachelet, Executive Director of UN-Women; Under-Secretary- General for Peacekeeping Operations Ladsous; and Ms. Diop, President of Femmes Africa Solidarite, Women are a great force in the creation of human civilization. The promotion of gender equality and the protection of women's rights have a direct bearing not only on women's vital concerns but also on world peace and development. Although women tend to be victims in conflict and post-conflict situations, they are also important partners in the prevention and mediation of conflicts and in post-conflict reconstruction.”

4. “By early November this year, China had dispatched in total 13 escort formation convoys, totalling 34 vessels. They have carried out 515 operations, providing escorts to 4,901 vessels, of which half were foreign vessels, and they have achieved a 100 per cent success rate. China is willing, on a voluntary basis and with coordination on an equal footing, to continue strengthening coordination and information-sharing about military operations with the parties concerned. China has also, within its capacity, provided assistance to the countries in the Gulf of Guinea in their fight against piracy. We are ready to continue to strengthen cooperation and coordination with the countries concerned in order to play a more active and constructive role in our fight against piracy.”

5. “The international community must take into account considerations of specific conditions of specific areas and address the problem at its source so as to eliminate the conditions upon which piracy thrives. As far as Africa is concerned, poverty and economic and social underdevelopment are the root causes of piracy. We call on the international community to redouble its efforts to provide assistance to African countries and the least developed countries and to play a better, more active role in achieving stability, eliminating poverty and attaining sustainable economic and social development. China has actively participated in the international fight against piracy. Since January 2009, the Chinese navy has dispatched escort convoys to the Gulf of Aden and the coastal areas off Somalia.”

6. “All of those efforts will enable them to play a better role in preventing and fighting piracy. We commend the Economic Community of West African States, the Economic Community of Central African States and the Commission of the Gulf of Guinea for having developed a regional strategy for fighting piracy and on the establishment of a regional centre for coordination. We call upon the international community to be more responsive to the capacity- building efforts of relevant countries and regional organizations by providing more financing and technical assistance. Thirdly, it is important to take a holistic approach and address both the symptoms and root causes of piracy. Piracy comes about as a result of deeply rooted economic and social factors. Although piracy takes place at sea, its genesis lies on land.”

7. “In such activities the international community must fully respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries concerned. We support the continued role of the United Nations in coordination in that regard. It is important to enrich and improve cooperation mechanisms, strengthen information-sharing and effectively prosecute and try those involved in piracy so as to forge synergies in our fight against it. Secondly, it is important to strengthen the capacity-building of relevant countries and regional organizations in fighting piracy. We support the initiatives taken by the countries of the Gulf of Guinea, which include formulating national strategies, improving international legal regimes, strengthening good governance and enhancing naval, judicial and law- enforcement capacities.”

8. “In addition, they have made more vulnerable the situation of certain areas that already pose threats to international peace and security. The international community must pay close attention and strengthen cooperation, and address the phenomenon accordingly. In that context, I would like to make the following comments. First, it is important to strengthen international cooperation in our fight againstpiracy. Suchinternational cooperation has achieved marked results, making piracy attacks less successful than they have been. We hope that the international community will continue to be guided by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and relevant international law and will persist in strengthening cooperation and coordination through coordinated actions designed to further combat piracy.”

9. “Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank India for taking the initiative to hold today's open debate on piracy. I wish also to thank Deputy Secretary-General Eliasson for his briefing. Piracy is a common scourge facing the international community. Over recent years, pirates have carried out rampant activities off the coast of Somalia, in the Gulf of Aden and in the Gulf of Guinea. They are increasingly taking to it as a business model. Their all-weather operational capacity has been further strengthened, the area of attacks has further expanded, and their activities are becoming more violent. Acts of piracy have not only undermined the safety of international navigation but have also affected normal trade and economic activities.”

10. “We hope that Member States will actively cooperate with the Committee in order to preserve the authority and effectiveness of the sanctions regime. Terrorism is a common scourge faced by the international community. As a victim, China is opposed to terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and opposes the practice of double standards with regard to counter-terrorism. China supports the United Nations and the Security Council in playing a leading role in international counter-terrorism cooperation, including enhanced cooperation among the various bodies. We hope that the international community will continue to cooperate in our joint efforts to prevent and to combat terrorism.”

11. “China is ready to actively participate alongside other parties in the Committee's work to promote the international non-proliferation agenda. The Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee has continued to strengthen its relevant work on listing, delisting and updating the sanctions list and has made extensive efforts to comprehensively implement resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011). China views positively the relevant efforts of the Committee to periodically update the sanctions list, as provided for, and to strengthen its dialogue with Member States. China welcomes the support provided to the Committee by the Monitoring Team and notes the work undertaken by the Office of the Ombudsperson to safeguard the impartiality and transparency of the sanctions regime.”

We hope that the Committee will continue to engage in dialogue with Member States and to help them to strengthen their counter-terrorism capacity. China supports the sound and steady work of the 1540 Committee to achieve the goals of resolution 1540 (2004) in a comprehensive, balanced and effective way and to help Member States to fulfil their relevant obligations. We hope that the Committee will successfully undertake its second annual review. We are pleased about the establishment of the group of experts and welcome those experts who have taken office.”

13. “Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank you, Mr. President, and Ambassadors Sangqu and Wittig, for the respective briefings. I also commend your leadership as Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) and the Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee. During the latest reporting period, the Counter- Terrorism Committee (CTC) continued to work towards fully implementing resolution 1373 (2001) and undertook significant work to that end. With the help of the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED), the Committee is now considering how to improve work related to the preliminary implementation assessments and is soon to hold a special meeting on preventing and suppressing terrorist financing. China welcomes that development.”

China is ready to join the rest of the international community in the ongoing effort to contribute to the achievement of lasting peace and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

Therefore, the international community should take a prudent approach to the matter and pay great attention to the views and concerns of all parties. China welcomes High Representative Inzko's efforts to promote the political process in Bosnia and Herzegovina and hopes that he will continue to play a positive and constructive role in the implementation of the Dayton Agreement, as mandated.”

Recently, Bosnia and Herzegovina has made progress in the fields of national reconciliation, economic development and the rule of law. The situation of the country as a whole has remained stable. China welcomes those developments, while it notes the difficulties and challenges that Bosnia and Herzegovina continues to face in its efforts to stabilize the country and enhance the development, support and help it continues to need from the international community. China respects the independence, sovereignty, national unity and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

18. “Thirdly, since its inception UNMIT has worked very effectively and contributed enormously to the maintenance of security, stability and the promotion of economic and social development. It is a successful example of United Nations peacekeeping. Following the withdrawal of UNMIT, we hope that the United Nations, fully consulting and respecting the opinions of the Government of Timor-Leste, will jointly discuss future cooperation between them. As a friend and cooperation partner of Timor-Leste, China will continue to provide assistance and support to Timor-Leste within our capacity.”

Secondly, economic development and improved standards of living are crucial if countries are to achieve long-term stability and security. The international community should support Timor-Leste in improving its capacity for independent development and help the Government to strengthen development in areas such as infrastructure, education and health care in order to encourage inclusive, equitable socioeconomic development. China hopes and trusts that Timor-Leste will return to the path of sustainable development as soon as possible.”

Successful presidential and parliamentary elections have been held, establishing a new parliament and Government and promoting the maintenance of stability and development. As Timor- Leste's national development enters a new stage, the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT) peacekeeping operation is about to close successfully. I would like to emphasize three points. First, China highly appreciates the fact that the Policia Nacional de Timor-Leste is now officially and fully responsible for domestic security. Th efforts of the Government to build national institutions and improve governance capacities have made encouraging progress.”

The new Government of Libya has been established, signifying a new step in Libya's political transition process, which China welcomes. The formation of the new Government has paved the way for the general election next year. It is a positive indicator of the Libyan people's efforts to achieve stability, to proceed with national reconciliation and to undertake economic reconstruction. China hopes that Libya's new Government can rally the entire nation and proceed actively with the political transition process, based on the road map and the timetable outlined for the transition, with the goal of achieving long-term stability and prosperity.”

24. “That is a positive step towards promoting dialogue and cooperation between the IAEA and Iran and maintaining and advancing that dialogue. Against the current backdrop, it is of the utmost importance for the parties to stay in touch and safeguard the hard-won momentum in the dialogue. China is ready to join the international community in continuing to expand diplomatic efforts and committing to dialogue and cooperation in order to play a constructive role in seeking a comprehensive and appropriate solution to the nuclear issue of Iran.”

China believes that the parties should continue to work on the basis of the principle of progressive development and mutual respect, take a pragmatic approach in firmly advancing dialogue, and try by all means possible to seek common ground and gradually find a solution to the nuclear issue of Iran. That is not only in the common interests of the parties but is also the broadly shared expectation of the international community. A few days ago the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors adopted a resolution on the nuclear issue of Iran, which supports the proposal of the P5+l for a comprehensive and lasting negotiated solution based on dialogue.”

We are not in favour of excessive pressure on or new sanctions against Iran. We are firmly against the use or threat of force. China consistently supports the international community in seeking a peaceful resolution to the nuclear issue of Iran through dialogue and cooperation. Over the past few months, the five plus one group (PS-H) have held three rounds of dialogue and one expert meeting with Iran. The parties concerned have also maintained close contact and communication at various levels and in different forms.”

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recently visited the Balkan region, including Serbia and Kosovo. The United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) has made unremitting efforts to promote regional peace and stability and to advance dialogue. China expresses its appreciation in that regard. We support UNMIK's ongoing efforts to undertake activities in accordance with the Security Council's mandate. We hope that UNMIK, the European Union Rule of Law Mission and the Kosovo Force will strengthen their coordination and play a positive and constructive role in promoting the settling of relevant issues.”

China has always maintained that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia should be fully respected. On the question of Serbia, a mutually acceptable settlement plan should be agreed by the parties themselves through dialogue and negotiation, in the framework of resolution 1244 (1999). China congratulates Serbia on the establishment of its new Government. We hope that Belgrade and Pristina will continue and move forward the process of dialogue.”

Last week, a draft resolution on Syria failed to be adopted (see S/PV.6810). That was because there were major drawbacks in the draft resolution, which violated the basic principles governing international relations. Ambassador Li Baodong gave a detailed account of China's position on that occasion, so I shall not repeat it. I wish to emphasize that China has always maintained that the destiny of Syria must be decided by the Syrian people themselves. The Syrian question can only be resolved through political means.

As always, China firmly supports the Palestinian people's just cause for the restoration of their legitimate national rights. We support the establishment of a sovereign and independent Palestinian State on the basis of the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

As always, China opposes the Israeli practice of building Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, as well as attempts to unilaterally change the status quo of Jerusalem. We call on Israel to release Palestinian prisoners and detainees and to improve the living and medical conditions of Palestinians still in prisons or in detention. We urge Israel to halt any actions that may lead to tension and to take measures to remove the barriers impeding the resumption of peace talks. At this stage, the security and humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, including Gaza, remains grim.”

We welcome and support every initiative conducive to breaking the deadlock in the Palestinian-Israeli talks and pushing for a resumption of the talks between the two sides. We hope that the two parties will continuously build up mutual trust and create conditions for a resumption of engagement and an early relaunching of peace talks.

The Palestine and Israel question is at the heart of the Middle East process and has a major impact on the situation in the Middle East region.

43. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of China. Currently, the overall political situation in Central Africa is stable. Economic development has achieved results and countries of the region are continuing with the integration process. China finds that gratifying. We note, at the same time, that efforts to achieve lasting peace and sustainable development in Central Africa still face many challenges, with the region's weak economic foundation and rampant transnational organized crime, which seriously undermine social stability. In particular, the Libyan crisis caused the proliferation of arms in the Sahel region as a result of arms smuggling, which threatens the peace and security of some countries in the region. China is very concerned about that.”
