“China continues to believe that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iran nuclear question has helped to defuse the Iranian nuclear crisis and strengthen the nuclear non-proliferation regime, with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as its cornerstone. It is an important result for international security, governance and multilateralism and a good example of the effectiveness of addressing difficult issues through diplomatic and political means.”

“We hope that the international community will build on the progress made and further strengthen its coordination in order to take steps to promote peace through joint engagement as soon as possible. China is a staunch supporter of the Palestinian people's just cause and an active mediator for peace between Israel and Palestine. We firmly support the concept of a two-State solution and the establishment of a Palestinian State with full sovereignty and independence, on the basis of the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. China will use President Xi Jinping's four-point proposal as its general guide for settling the Palestinian question and will work with the other parties involved for its political settlement.”

“Thirdly, we should further coordinate the efforts of the international community and foster synergy for peace. China supports all efforts aimed at promoting peace between Palestine and Israel. The international community has been increasing its focus on the question of Palestine for some time now, and the parties concerned have, from different perspectives, at different levels and with different emphases, promoted the resumption of peace talks by actively engaging in various diplomatic activities. Progress has recently has been made with intra-Palestine reconciliation, which should help to promote unity within Palestine, the resumption of peace talks, Palestine's achievement of independent statehood and peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel. China appreciates Egypt's efforts to promote such reconciliation.”

“Secondly, we should adhere to the concept of common, integrated, cooperative and sustainable security and eliminate all the negative factors impeding the resumption of peace talks between Israel and Palestine. In that regard, China calls for the effective implementation of resolution 2334 (2016). The parties concerned should translate their words into action and demonstrate their full willingness to engage in peace talks, build mutual trust and cease all actions that undermine the possibility of a two-State solution. It will be essential to halt all settlement activities in the occupied territory and put an end to the closure of Gaza. Measures to improve the livelihood of the Palestinian people and to prevent violence against innocent civilians should be bolstered as soon as possible.”

“The Palestinian people are demanding to see their historical wrongs corrected and to be able to exercise their inalienable national rights. The international community should ramp up its sense of urgency and agitate for a political settlement of the Palestinian question. First, it should resolutely push for a two-State solution, which is the foundation for any political settlement process. Such a solution best fits the regional realities, is most widely recognized internationally and has been called for in General Assembly resolutions. The parties concerned should work diligently to resume the peace talks and seek a speedy, just, comprehensive and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue, based on the relevant Security Council resolutions, the principle of land for peace and the Arab Peace Initiative.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Assistant Secretary-General Jenca for his briefing. The Palestinian question has been lingering for many years and is the crux of the crisis in the Middle East and one of the underlying causes of the problems in the region. Palestine and Israel are neighbours that share the same fate. Accelerating a political settlement of the Palestinian question through dialogue and consultation is in the fundamental interests of both the Palestinian and the Israeli peoples and will help to bring about durable peace and stability in the region. The Palestinian-Israeli situation is currently very fragile. The conflict around the issue of settlements is still acute, and the humanitarian situation in Gaza is grave.”

“This will entail enhancing its self-development capacities, reinforcing the rule of law, conducting constructive national dialogue, implementing the strategic development plan of the National Police for 2017-2021, ensuring stable funding and working to ensure security in the country as a whole as quickly as possible. The humanitarian situation in Haiti remains grim. China hopes that the international community will increase its assistance so as to help Haiti eliminate cholera, improve its capabilities in food security and disaster reduction and prevention, and help provide more support to Haiti in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

“MINUSTAH's orderly withdrawal has helped maintain a stable situation in Haiti, creating conditions conducive to MINUJUSTH's smooth deployment. China looks to MINUJUSTH, the United Nations country team and other entities to strengthen their coordination and consolidate the progress achieved by MINUSTAH, thereby making an even greater contribution to Haiti's overall stability and development. MINUJUSTH cannot stay in Haiti indefinitely. The final solution to the question of Haiti will hinge on the efforts of the Haitian Government. Along with other relevant parties, the Government should work diligently to take on the responsibility of maintaining the country's stability and development of the country.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ms. Sandra Honore, for her briefing. The United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) will officially conclude its mission and be superseded by the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), thereby ushering in a new era in Haiti. Since 2004, MINUSTAH, in the face of an earthquake, hurricanes and other hardships, has played an important role in promoting the stability and development of Haiti. More than 100 United Nations peacekeepers, including eight from China, have made the ultimate sacrifice in Haiti, and China commends and pays tribute to MINUSTAH, Special Representative Honore and all the former Heads of the Mission for their invaluable contributions.”

“Our first batch of personnel and equipment has been certified by the United Nations as rapid-deployment-ready. Those efforts demonstrate China's active support for the United Nations PKO and its commitment to assuming more responsibility internationally while meeting its obligations as a major player, and we believe they will make a constructive contribution to global peace and regional stability. As the biggest TCC among the permanent members of the Council and the second biggest donor to United Nations peacekeeping operations, China will continue to make a firm and honest commitment to maintaining worldpeace andjoining the rest ofthe world in advancing the noble cause of United Nations peacekeeping.”

“In the past two years, we have trained more than 800 peacekeepers for the United Nations and some countries concerned and have dispatched a first helicopter squadron to a United Nations peacekeeping operation in Africa. We are now in the process of delivering $100 million in free financial aid pledged to the African Union and have made support for the peacekeeping capacities of TCCs, especially those from Africa, a priority of the United Nations Peace and Development Trust Fund. In September, China officially completed the registration of its 8,000-strong standby peacekeeping force as a United Nations standby mechanism. We had already generated two standing peacekeeping police units and registered them under the United Nations Peacekeeping Capability Readiness System.”

“Systems for tracking and assessing the security situation on the ground must be set up and early-warning capabilities for security threats and intra-mission information-sharing improved. Every mission should commit to strengthening its training in the deployment phase, which should be tailored to the realities of the mission's area of operations. For its part, the Secretariat should improve management standards and efficiency, optimize logistics support mechanisms and ensure that peacekeeping resources are utilized effectively. At the United Nations peacekeeping summit in September 2015, China's President made an important commitment to supporting United Nations peacekeeping operations, and China is currently pressing ahead with the implementation of that commitment across the board.”

“Priorities for the different phases of an operation can be modified as and when any change is needed, while keeping the host country in the driving seat for the sake of effective mandate implementation. F ifthly, the Secretariat should provide better support and assurances for peacekeeping forces in terms of both efficiency and quality. Where its role in managing peacekeeping operations is concerned, the Secretariat should look at the big picture for peacekeeping operations and their long-term development, as well as working to make them more effective and better able to address complex situations with concrete measures. The Secretariat and missions should pay close attention to peacekeepers' security and medical service capabilities and should guarantee them.”

“We should also give particular attention and support to regional and subregional organizations, including the African Union, so that they can play a bigger part in maintaining peace and security in Africa and help the continent improve its peacekeeping capacity-building. Fourthly, it is essential to define a clear, actionable and targeted mandate for every peacekeeping mission. Mandates instruct and guide every mission in its operations and are an important determinant of their effectiveness. The priority needs and realities of host countries, as well as the TCCs' capacities, should be considered together in order to keep operations focused on the core task of peacekeeping.”
2017-10-05 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8064 (2017) · source
“Thirdly, we should increase efforts to help TCCs with capacity-building. For peacekeeping operations to be able to implement their mandates, full and focused predeployment training and reliable provision of all the necessary resources, including equipment, are essential. Operations must therefore be provided with the training and resources they need. It is important to pay close attention to the real needs of TCCs from developing countries and the challenges they face, as well as to encourage bilateral and multilateral cooperation in strengthening their peacekeeping capacity-building.”

“Ultimately, it is peacekeepers who ensure the success of United Nations peacekeeping operations, and the TCCs and police-contributing countries (PCCs) are the main actors in implementing those operations, carrying out their mission on the front lines in support of the Organization's fulfilment of its responsibilities as mandated under the Charter of the United Nations and making great sacrifices through their contribution. The long-term development of peacekeeping operations also depends on the efforts of TCCs and PCCs, and they must be acknowledged and respected. In that regard, we should strengthen the triangular communication between the Council, the Secretariat and the TCCs. The Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations should play its full role as a policy review body and give TCCs more say on peacekeeping issues.”
2017-10-05 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8064 (2017) · source
“The purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the three peacekeeping-operation principles - the consent of the parties, impartiality and the non-use of force except in self-defence or defence of the mandate - constitute their foundation and remain irreplaceable in guiding operations in a new context. The sovereignty of host countries should be fully respected and their input and views taken seriously in order to help them scale up their security capacities. When a host country requires the withdrawal of a peacekeeping operation and the circumstances permit, the Council should give the Secretariat guidance on drawing up a clear exit timetable, to ensure that the mission will not remain in the host country indefinitely. Secondly, we must fully recognize the role of troop-contributing countries (TCCs).”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): China appreciates France and the United Kingdom's initiative in convening today's meeting, and we would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Lacroix, and Ambassadors Momen and Blanchard, of Bangladesh and Canada, for their briefings. United Nations peacekeeping operations are an important component of the Organization's efforts to maintain international peace and security. Since peacekeeping forces operate on the ground under the Council's mandates, enhancing their ability to deploy rapidly, strengthening peacekeepers' capabilities and improving their mandates are critical to their greater efficiency and effectiveness. In that context, I would like to make the following points. First, we should consistently uphold the basic principles of peacekeeping operations.”

The United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia started its work officially not long ago, and the adoption of resolution 2381 (2017) further strengthens its mandate.”

“The international community should encourage and support dialogue and communication between the two countries so that they can duly address the mass exodus of the Muslim population seeking refuge in Bangladesh and find a definitive solution. China, as a friendly neighbour of both Myanmar and Bangladesh, has been actively engaging with those countries to influence them positively and encourage them to address the issue through dialogue and consultation. China has provided and will continue to provide assistance necessary for accommodating the displaced. As we speak, the situation on the ground is beginning to stabilize. All parties should work constructively to help reinforce that momentum, de-escalate the situation and alleviate the humanitarian conditions step by step.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (Spoke in Chinese): China would like to thank Secretary-General Guterres for his briefing. China condemns the recent violent attacks in Myanmar's Rakhine state and supports Myanmar's efforts to maintain domestic stability. We sincerely hope that order will again prevail as soon as possible so that no more harm will come to innocent civilians, and that social stability, unity among ethnic groups and economic development will be sustained. The question of Rakhine state is rooted in a nexus of complex historical ethnic and religious factors. Many of the differences and antagonisms in the state have built up over a long time; there is no quick fix. A viable solution will be one that goes hand in hand with the peace and reconciliation process in Myanmar.”

In recent years, the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC), as an important platform of the Security Council in dealing with counter-terrorism issues, has closely monitored the new terrorist threats and trends and facilitated the comprehensive implementation of the relevant Council resolutions by Member States. The CTC works in close coordination with other United Nations entities to advance the international counter- terrorism agenda, which has produced positive and effective results.

Terrorism must not be associated with any particular ethnicity or religion. The international community should promote the use of political means and dialogue to address regional conflicts and eradicate the root causes that give rise to terrorism. Countries should enhance border control and law-enforcement cooperation and disrupt the network by which terrorists operate. More robust efforts should be made to combat terrorism financing.”

“Developing countries should receive assistance to enhance their civil aviation protection capacity. Meanwhile, it is necessary to respect the sovereignty of the recipient countries and to help them address practical challenges with concrete measures. Thirdly, the relevant resolutions of the Security Council should be implemented in good faith to scale up international cooperation in protecting civil aviation from terror attacks. In September 2016, the Council unanimously adopted resolution 2309 (2016). Pursuant to the resolution, all parties should strengthen the sharing of civil aviation security intelligence and step up cooperation in border control and enforcement.”

Secondly, as this is a Member State-led process, strengthening developing countries' capacity-building should be prioritized. Developing countries face more challenges in capacity-building to ensure civil aviation security. The international community's priorities in that regard include airport security screening, safety and security risk assessment and on-site response.”

“Guided by the notion that humankind is a community with a shared future, the international community should scale up international cooperation in civil aviation and take practical and effective measures to protect the global civil aviation system from the threat of terrorist attacks. In that context, I would like to highlight the following three points. First, a harmonized set of standards should be upheld to guard against and combat acts ofterror against civil aviation. All countries should be consistent in their zero-tolerance and non-discrimination approach towards terrorism - that is to relentlessly suppress terrorist activities regardless of the countries they target or the means they employ.”

The international counter-terrorism situation remains serious. Terrorist organizations, such as ISIL and Al-Qaida, are conducting terrorist activities and spreading extremist ideologies in many different ways. The international community should strengthen cooperation, support all counter-terrorism efforts, including those of Iraq, unify standards, adopt effective measures, and resolutely combat terrorist organizations listed by the Security Council.
