“In May, the 2016 Chinese presidency of the Group of 20 (G-20) held the Women 20 Meeting in Xi'an, under the theme "Equal participation and innovative development", in an effort to push for equal participation of women in economic development and global governance, as well as for improvement in women's economic empowerment. China is willing to work together with the rest of the international community to continue to push for the implementation of the goals regarding women and peace and security and to make tireless efforts towards further progress in the global women's cause.”

“Chinese President Xi Jinping and representatives from more than 140 countries, including approximately 80 Heads of State or Government, attended the Summit. The Summit forged an international consensus, with world leaders recommitting themselves to implementing the outcome of the Beijing World Conference on Women.

“The international community should pay close attention to the heinous acts ofterrorists and extremists violating women and aggressively combat such actions. The international community should also pay attention to the leading role of the countries concerned and help them to comprehensively implement the relevant Security Council resolutions and enhance their ability to combat sexual violence. The international community should respond appropriately to terrorist threats, advance international counter-terrorism cooperation and take comprehensive measures to protect women from terrorist and extremist forces. In September last year, China and the United Nations j ointly sponsored the Global Summit on Women.”

“The Security Council should fully shoulder its primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, accord priority to issues related to women and peace and security and strengthen coordination with the relevant organs, including the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, the Peacebuilding Commission and UN-Women. As part of that process, the various organs of the United Nations should fully utilize existing mechanisms and improve their efficiency, and, at the same time, place strong emphasis on the role of regional and subregional organizations in protecting women in conflicts. Fourthly, attention must be given to combating sexual violence in conflicts in order to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of women.”

“The international community should help the countries concerned in carrying out post-conflict reconstruction by supporting them in enhancing capacity-building so as to promote economic and social development and better protect women's rights and interests. The international community should actively provide development assistance and technical support to developing countries to help them promote gender equality and women's empowerment, and at the same time guide women's groups and civil society so that they can play a positive and constructive role in that respect. Thirdly, cooperation among the various organs of the United Nations should be promoted to generate synergies aimed at protecting women in conflict situations.”

“The international community should advocate the concepts of win-win cooperation and peaceful development, assist the countries concerned, advance political settlements and national reconciliation and promote dialogue and consultations as ways of resolving differences and of ensuring that women are spared the impact of conflicts and are able to enjoy a peace dividend. The full participation of women in decision-making needs to be ensured at all stages of peace processes so that they can leverage their unique advantages and act as a positive force in peacemaking. Secondly, comprehensive economic and social development needs to be promoted in order to provide a sound basis for women's empowerment.”

“At the same time, the international security situation remains complex and grave, with the frequent occurrence of regional conflicts. In some countries and regions, the threats of terrorism and violent extremism are on the rise. And women, being a vulnerable group in that regard, bear the brunt of such violence. The international community should closely coordinate and cooperate in providing assistance and comprehensively enhancing the all- round protection of women in conflict situations. I wish to emphasize the following points. First, the political settlement of regional hot-spot issues needs to be promoted so as to create a favourable external environment for the protection of women's rights and interests.”

“Such practices will help to protect medical personnel and facilities in armed conflict. Fourthly, the United Nations and humanitarian agencies should work in synergy to protect medical personnel and facilities. The United Nations should conduct an in-depth study and comprehensive assessment of humanitarian risks and challenges in armed conflicts. On the basis of the views of the countries concerned, it should establish effective mechanisms for communicating with medical personnel and humanitarian agencies and engage in the timely exchange of information concerning the situation on the ground, so as to establish conditions favourable to the protection of humanitarian efforts, medical personnel and their facilities.”

“Parties to a conflict should adhere to international humanitarian law and abide by Council resolutions and fulfil their duty to protect and allow access to humanitarian assistance. The international community should provide support and assistance on the basis of full consultations with the countries concerned. Thirdly, humanitarian operations must win the understanding and trust of the parties concerned. In armed conflicts, as medical personnel and humanitarian agencies carry out operations in the discharge of their medical duties, they must adhere to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, fully respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries concerned; adhere to impartiality, fairness and independence; follow guiding humanitarian principles and avoid getting involved in conflicts.”

Secondly, it is incumbent upon the Governments concerned and the parties to the conflict to protect medical personnel and facilities in armed conflicts. The Governments concerned bear the primary responsibility for protecting civilians within their borders, and they should therefore strengthen their measures to protect medical personnel and facilities. The countries concerned should investigate, in accordance with the law, violent acts, including attacks against and threats to medical personnel and facilities in armed conflicts.”

“China pays tribute medical personnel and the relevant humanitarian agencies for their humanitarian spirit in healing the wounded and rescuing the dying in extremely harsh conditions and at the risk of their own safety. I would like to make the following points. First, emphasis should be put on promoting political processes to resolve regional hotspot issues. Only by ending conflict will it be possible once and for all to eliminate security threats to medical personnel and medical facilities. The Security Council should actively work to promote dialogue and negotiations and facilitate efforts by the parties to conflict to end them and resolve their differences through dialogue and negotiations, thereby eliminating conflicts.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): China commends the initiative taken by New Zealand to convene this meeting on the protection of medical personnel and facilities in armed conflict. I wish to thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his briefing. China has listened carefully to the statements by the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Mr. Peter Maurer, and the representative of Medecins Sans Frontieres, Ms. Joanne Liu. Last May, the Council unanimously adopted resolution 2286 (2016), which calls upon the parties to armed conflicts to enhance the protection of medical personnel and facilities in armed conflict. This underscores the importance that the international community attaches to the question of the protection of medical personnel and facilities in armed conflict.”

“In the light of the characteristics of terrorist activities relating to civil aviation, and the requirements of resolution 2309 (2016), all parties should improve their intelligence sharing at both international and regional levels, enhance their cooperation on border control and law enforcement and take effective action against cross-border movements ofterrorists, especially when they are returning to their countries of origin.

“Every State should maintain uniform standards and take a zero-tolerance approach to terrorism, with no distinction between acts of terror, all of which should be firmly countered, regardless of the countries they target or the means they employ. International action against terrorism should promote the greatest possible scope for the leadership of the United Nations and the Security Council, abide by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, strengthen effective coordination, create an internationally united front against terrorism and maintain an uncompromisingly combative posture towards it.”

“The Security Council, as the world's primary body for the maintenance of international peace and security, should provide political guidance and secure the commitment of all parties to strengthened international cooperation and civil aviation security. ICAO, as the technical agency responsible for formulating aviation safety and security standards, should help States to comprehensively implement of the relevant international standards. The Council and ICAO should improve their synergy by strengthening their division of labour and collaboration, both working within the purview of their respective mandates. Thirdly, we should work unremittingly to combat terrorist acts that compromise the safety and security of civil aviation.”

“It is incumbent on all States to implement the provisions of today's resolution, launch more substantive initiatives in the relevant areas and continue to improve civil aviation security standards. Secondly, we should strengthen international cooperation on civil aviation security. States should commit to the notion that humankind is a community with a shared future, and should work to comprehensively strengthen such cooperation. Countries with more developed civil aviation sectors should take the real-life difficulties that developing countries are dealing with seriously, and help them develop their capacities in the areas of building infrastructure, training and providing logistical services.”

“In that regard, I would like to share China's perspective on the issues, focusing on three points. First, we should focus our efforts on improving the civil aviation safety and security system and reinforcing security measures, establishing a multi-pronged approach that covers airport security, ground security screening, industry regulation and internal risk control, and all aimed at strengthening civil aviation security safeguards. Resolution 2309 (2016), which we have just adopted, refers explicity to States' obligations to do more in such areas as airport security checks, sharing passenger information and security-screening- technology sharing and cooperation.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): China would like to welcome you, Sir, and thank you for presiding over today's Security Council meeting. Iwould also like to thank Ms. Fang Liu, Secretary General of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), for her briefing. As globalization continues to advance, the air transport sector is playing an increasingly important role in social and economic development and progress at the national level. However, terror attacks targeting the international civil aviation system are a scourge that destroys lives and property. Maintaining the safety and security of international civil aviation is vital to the promotion of international travel, interaction and cooperation, intraregional and interregional connectivity and global economic recovery and development.”

“Meanwhile, it should also promote the development of friendly relations and cooperation for mutual benefit between Afghanistan and its neighbours, as well as Afghanistan's participation in regional linkages and communication and economic cooperation, so as to achieve full integration in regional development. China is a good neighbour and good friend of Afghanistan. China supports an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned reconciliation process in the country. China has taken an active part in various mechanisms, such as the Quadrilateral Coordination Group made up of Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and the United States of America, in an effort to create enabling external environments for the achievement of reconciliation. We are ready to link up China's One Belt, One Road initiative with the Afghanistan National Development Strategy.”

Fourthly, it is imperative to ensure that the development process in Afghanistan makes further progress without backtracking.

“The international community should support Afghanistan's national security forces in capacity-building, while beefing up their independent capacity for self-defence and counter-terrorism, and safeguarding Afghanistan's security and stability. Thirdly, it is absolutely indispensable to help Afghanistan bolster its governance without let up. Matters relating to Afghanistan should ultimately be determined by the Afghans themselves. Currently, Afghanistan is engaged in preparing its new National Peace and Development framework. The international community should, on the basis of the development strategy determined by the Afghans and the specific needs help the Government, improve administrative capability and consolidate the fruits of national reconstruction.”

“The international community should continue to step up its efforts and go all-out in support of an Afghan-led and -owned inclusive reconciliation process and make substantive efforts for the achievement of reconciliation in the country. Secondly, it is crucial to ensure the irreversibility of the security situation in Afghanistan. Maintaining a stable Afghanistan in terms of security is of paramount importance to the development and prosperity of country. The armed conflicts inside Afghanistan and the terrorist activities by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham and by Al-Qaida, among others, pose a serious threat to the security and stability of Afghanistan.”

I would like to emphasize the following points. First, it is imperative to remain unwavering in the commitment to the general direction of national reconciliation. Achieving national reconciliation is the master key to addressing the problems facing Afghanistan. All parties in Afghanistan should focus on national development and the interests of the people by restarting peace talks.”

We hope that both sides will continue with their high-level political dialogue, seek a lasting solution to the question of Kosovo and strive to maintain peace and security in the Balkans and the entire European region.

“Counter-terrorism is a challenge that must be confronted in the course of addressing the Syria issue. Terrorism in the region at large and in the Syrian territory in particular causes civilian casualties and hampers international relief efforts.

It will succeed so long as the parties maintain their confidence in the political settlement process, demonstrate political will and make tireless efforts to that end. The implementation of the JCPOA is a protracted process.”
