“Secondly, we must eliminate breeding grounds of terrorism. At present the major terrorist elements and forces are entrenched in conflict zones, including Iraq and Syria, benefiting from regional turmoil, launching terrorist attacks in regions beyond conflict zones and threatening regional and international peace and security. The international community should address regional hotspots with a heightened sense of urgency, encourage the relevant parties to resolve regional conflicts through political processes and dialogue, maintain regional peace, stability and development, and eradicate the causes of terrorism at an early date. Thirdly, we must disrupt the terrorist transit network.”

“First, we must garner international consensus on the fight against terrorism. Terrorism represents a threat to humankind. The international community should uphold unified standards, adopt a zero-tolerance approach without any distinction. Regardless of a terrorist's location, their pretexts, which country they are targeting or which tactics they use, terrorism must be fought with resolve. International counter-terrorism efforts must respect the sovereignty of the countries concerned, which bear the primary responsibility of fighting terrorism. Those efforts must also defer to the leading role of the United Nations and the Security Council and abide by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. Terrorism shall not be associated with any specific ethnicity or religion.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): China thanks Under-Secretary-General Jeffrey Feltman for his briefing. China welcomes the Secretary-General's report (S/2017/467) on the threat ofthe Isalmic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) to international peace and security. Recently, Egypt, Afghanistan, the United Kingdom, France and Iran suffered terrorist attacks. The attacks caused enormous civilian casualties and significant property losses. Terrorism is a common enemy of humankind and its impact goes beyond borders. No country can respond to terrorism singlehandedly or insulate itself from the scourge. The international community should embrace the concept of a community bound by a common destiny, identify new trends and patterns in the evolution of terrorism, enhance cooperation and work collectively to respond to the threat.”

“The parties concerned should adhere unswervingly to diplomatic efforts and continue to support the role of the United Nations as the main mediator and the work of the Special Envoy; jointly encourage the parties in Syria to participate constructively in the next round of Geneva talks, under the principle of Syrian-owned and Syrian-led and take part in dialogue and negotiations, in the quest for a comprehensive, lasting solution that is acceptable to everyone. Attacks launched by terrorist organizations in Syria severely impede international relief efforts. China calls on the international community to step up counter- terrorism coordination efforts, adopt unified standards and resolutely combat all terrorist organizations identified by the Security Council.”

“Despite recent difficulties on the ground, United Nations humanitarian agencies continue to dispatch relief convoys to relevant areas in Syria. China commends those efforts and urges parties in Syria to effectively implement relevant Security Council resolutions, observe the ceasefire agreement and actively coordinate with United Nations humanitarian relief operations by providing rapid, safe and unhindered access. The international community should implement as soon as possible the outcomes of the Brussels international conference on Syria by providing assistance to Syria and to relevant countries in the region. Political settlement is the only viable way to completely ease the humanitarian situation in Syria. Special Envoy De Mistura has announced that the next round of Geneva talks will be held in June.”

“The first 12 top troop-contributors are African countries. Strengthening communication and coordination with African countries in the area of peacekeeping is an inevitable requirement for effectively improving peacekeeping operations. China supports the United Nations in carefully listening to the views, suggestions and concerns of African countries in the area of peacekeeping operations. China strongly supports African peacekeeping capacity-building. China has been a staunch supporter of and an active participant in United Nations peacekeeping operations. It is the largest troop-contributor among the permanent members of the Security Council and second largest contributor to the peacekeeping budget. China is fully implementing the commitments announced by Chinese leaders concerning our support for United Nations peacekeeping operations.”

“Fourthly, we must ensure a smooth transition from peacekeeping to peacebuilding, development and reconstruction. United Nations peacekeeping operations should make timely adjustments to the mandates and size of missions, in the light of specific conditions and developments in the situation on the ground. They should strengthen coordination with actors such as countries in the regions concerned, regional and subregional organizations, United Nations development agencies, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Peacekeeping operations should also undertake efforts to meet the needs of the host country, provide tailored support to help with security capacity-building and assist the host country in achieving self-reliant development at an early . Nine out of sixteen United Nations peacekeeping missions are in Africa.”

“Peacekeeping operations should achieve synergy and coordination to create an enabling environment for achieving political solutions to the hotspot issues. Thirdly, it is important to improve upon the mandates of peacekeeping operations, making them realistic and actionable. In recent years, the protection of civilians has become one of the mandates for the relevant United Nations peacekeeping missions. The implementation of that mandate should be predicated upon respect for the ownership of the host country and should articulate the scope, conditions and terms of reference of implementation, so as to be a useful supplement to the actions by the host country. Given the limited material resources, at the level of implementation and policy, we should develop specific rules governing the protection of civilians.”

“In line with the wishes of the host country, the Security Council should appropriately address the issues of an exit strategy for peacekeeping missions. Secondly, peacekeeping operations are tasked with proactively taking forward the process of seeking political solutions to regional hotspot issues. Some of those issues are protracted and persistent and lead to the steady deterioration of the security situation in the region concerned and in some mission areas, there is no peace to keep. That has had a serious and adverse impact on the fulfilment of other peacekeeping functions and responsibilities. The international community should therefore have a greater sense of urgency and redouble its efforts to promote political solutions to regional hotspot issues.”

“Informative briefings enable the Security Council to have a broad understanding of peacekeeping operations in the field and of the efforts made by peacekeepers to deliver their mandates. I would like to make the following four points in response to the briefings made by the Force Commanders. First, the basic principles of peacekeeping operations are still of great relevance as guidance in the new context. The purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the consent of the parties concerned, impartiality and the non-use of force, except in self-defence and for the defence of mandates, are the irrepressible constants of peacekeeping operations. Such operations should properly handle the relations with the host country, respect its sovereignty and heed its views and suggestions.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): Let me begin by thanking Under-Secretary-General Lacroix and the Force Commanders of the four missions for their informative briefings. China would like to pay tribute to the Force Commanders and peacekeepers of all United Nations peacekeeping forces in active service for their extraordinary courage and dedication. We also extend our condolences to the families ofall those peacekeepers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. The current international situation is undergoing profound change. Peacekeeping operations face ever increasingly complex environments and mandates, and we face serious challenges in carrying out effective peacekeeping operations.”

The international community should support addressing African problems in African ways. It should also support the AU and regional and subregional organizations in playing important roles in resolving Africa's flashpoint issues. The international community must support AMISOM. and UNSOM. as they continue to implement their mandates.

On the other hand, we must note that Somalia still faces severe challenges in the political, security, economic and humanitarian areas. At present, there are 6.2 million people in Somalia lacking food, approximately 3 million of whom await urgent food assistance. There is still a long way to go for Somalia to achieve long-lasting peace and stability and economic development. The international community should pay more attention and provide stronger support to Somalia.”

What is at stake is for the international community to convince all parties in South Sudan to abandon military means, cease hostilities and immediately get back to the political-settlement track so as to implement the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan in earnest. China welcomes President Kiir's initiative in hosting a national dialogue. We look forward to seeing an early start of such a dialogue, which should have the extensive and active participation of all parties in South Sudan.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (Spoke in Chinese): China thanks the United States for having convened this meeting. We also thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Shearer, and Ambassador Ciss for their briefings. At present, the situation in South Sudan remains very complex. President Kiir has made an appeal for peace through dialogue. At the same time, the political, security, development and humanitarian sectors in South Sudan continue to face numerous challenges. In particular, the severity of the ongoing famine is making it increasingly difficult for achieving sustained peace. China proposes that international community provide assistance in the following three areas. First, we must continue to advance the political settlement in South Sudan.”
