“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): China thanks Special Representative Shearer for his briefing. We have listened to the statements made by Assistant Secretary-General Gilmour and Ms. Minagano. Since the beginning ofthis year, the overall situation in South Sudan has continued to turn for the better, with the ceasefire holding in most regions. Most opposition leaders have returned to Juba. The South Sudanese Government and parties have been jointly promoting the implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan and have carried out in-depth discussions on ceasefire monitoring, constitutional amendments, boundary demarcation, security and defence and other arrangements with positive results.”

“We believe that the Security Council has the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, and that BINUH's mandate must be clear and concise if it is to assist Haiti in responding to peace and security issues. China participated actively in the consultations on the text of resolution 2476 (2019) and proposed amendments to it. Regrettably, the final text failed to fully reflect our legitimate concerns, which is why China abstained in the voting today. China is ready to engage with the rest of the members ofthe Council injoint efforts to ensure that BINUH can fully carry out its mandate and play an active role in promoting stability and development in Haiti.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): Haiti is encountering a multiplicity of challenges on the political, security and humanitarian fronts. The United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH) and the peacekeeping mission that preceded it have played an important role in assisting Haiti in achieving stability and enhancing capacity- building in the area of security. China supports the establishment of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH), after the expiry of the mandate of MINUJUSTH, with a view to achieving an orderly transition and continuing to assist the Haitian Government in maintaining political stability, conducting a nationwide dialogue, training the Haitian National Police and responding to security challenges.”

“In line with the Arab Peace Initiative, the principle of land for peace and the relevant Council resolutions, the intentional community must adhere to a negotiations- based approach for advancing a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the Palestinian question so as to achieve the ultimate goal of establishing a fully sovereign State of Palestine, based on the 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital. Any new initiative should meet those international guidelines.”

“China is concerned about the actions of certain parties to withhold some of the tax receipts collected on behalf of Palestine. We call on the parties concerned to fulfil the obligations under relevant international treaties, such as the Paris Protocol on Economic Relations, and fully implement United Nations resolutions on the issue. The international community should provide more support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. We look forward to the successful conclusion of its upcoming pledging conference. The Middle East needs peace and stability. There is no alternative to the two-State solution - the only correct answer to the Palestinian-Israeli question.”

“All parties must act with caution, based on the principles of respect for the plurality of history, thereby upholding fairness and justice, implementing the international consensus and achieving peaceful coexistence, in accordance with the relevant United Nations resolutions and international law. They must also hold talks to reach a solution that can balance everyone's interests. Thirdly, the parties must remain seized of the economic and humanitarian situation in Palestine and take measures to improve it. The prolonged blockade of the Gaza Strip has led to severe humanitarian situations in the region and is not conducive to regional stability. Immediate measures must be taken to lift the blockade in Gaza in full so as to prevent any potential escalation.”

“First, to effectively implement resolution 2334 (2016), the parties concerned must immediately stop all settlement activities in the occupied territory, cease and desist the demolition of Palestinian homes and the destruction of Palestinian property and take measures to prevent violence against civilians. All legislative acts and unilateral moves aimed at legitimizing settlement activities must be stopped immediately and practical measures must be taken to eliminate their effects. Secondly, the parties must seek a proper settlement to the issue ofthe final status ofJerusalem - a complex and sensitive matter that is fundamental to settling the Palestinian question and crucial to regional peace and tranquillity. Recent clashes at the Al-Aqsa Mosque are worrisome.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Special Coordinator Mladenov for his briefing. We are concerned about the continuing clashes and confrontations in Gaza and at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the steadily escalating situation. We took note of the fact that the basic principles for settling the Palestinian question were reaffirmed at the emergency summit of the League of Arab States and the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, recently held in Saudi Arabia. Safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the Palestinian people is the shared responsibility of the international community. I would like to stress the following points.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): China listened closely to the briefing by Prosecutor Bensouda. China's position on the work of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in relation to Darfur remains unchanged. The international community should fully respect the judicial sovereignty of the Sudan, avoid interference in its internal affairs and heed the legitimate demands of the Sudanese Government and the African Union regarding the work of the ICC on Darfur in the Sudan. Currently the situation in Darfur has significantly improved. We hope that the international community will make joint efforts to provide more assistance with a view to achieving lasting peace and security and sustainable development in Darfur. That would serve the common interests of the Sudan and the countries in the region.”

Secondly, to improve the safety and security of peacekeeping personnel, how have their two missions cooperated with host countries? What are some areas for further improvement?”

“Secondly, attention must be paid to communication with host countries and the relevant parties so as to win their trust. Peacekeeping operations must ensure smooth communication with host countries at all stages of deployment, and relevant issues must be addressed through timely consultations. Thirdly, it is necessary to assist host countries in building and improving their national mechanisms and enhancing their force generation capacity. Peacekeeping operations must prioritize capacity-building in host countries when conditions permit. Moreover, at the request of host countries, peacebuilding operations should provide support in the establishment and the improvement of national mechanisms. I would now like to ask the two Force Commanders two questions. First, peacekeeping operations take political settlement as a priority.”

“They play an irreplaceable role in helping to stabilize the situation in host countries and in strengthening their security capacity. They help to create favourable conditions for political settlement. Therefore, peacekeeping operations overall have been well recognized by Member States. To further improve the performance of peacekeeping missions in terms of implementing the Council's mandates and to deepen cooperation with the relevant host countries, China wishes to share the following points. First, it is imperative to adhere to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the fundamental principles for peacekeeping operations, as well as to respect the sovereignty and leadership of host countries.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank you, Mr. President, for convening this meeting. I also wish to thank Mr. Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, and the Force Commanders of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur and of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus for their briefings. Through them I wish to pay tribute to all military personnel deployed in the 14 United Nations peacekeeping missions. Further to your proposal, Mr. President, in my statement today I will first elaborate on China's views on peacekeeping operations. Following that I will ask the Commanders two questions. United Nations peacekeeping operations are an important method of maintaining international peace and security.”

“China appreciates and supports the efforts of the Peacebuilding Commission and the United Nations country team in providing continued and constructive assistance to Burundi. As an active supporter of Burundi's political process and national reconstruction, China has been doing what it can to render assistance in many sectors, including agriculture, education and infrastructure development. We stand ready to continue to contribute to peace, stability and sustainable development in Burundi.”

“The Burundian Government has said many times that its situation does not pose a threat to regional peace and security and that the Burundi issue should not remain on the Council's agenda. The Council should pay serious heed to Burundi's views and make timely and appropriate adjustments in the light of the latest developments. Secondly, in order to continue scaling up their humanitarian and socioeconomic assistance to Burundi, we hope that the international community and international partners will deliver on their commitments in a timely manner, support the continuing return of Burundian refugees and help the country with its socioeconomic recovery. The relevant international organizations and agencies should resume their economic cooperation with Burundi as well as their development assistance.”

“At the end of last year, the Burundian Government kick- started preparations for the 2020 elections. Through consultations with various political parties in the country it has formulated a road map for the elections, established the Independent National Electoral Commission and committed to raising all the necessary funding for the elections, in a full demonstration of the ability and resolve of the Burundian Government and people to take care of their own problems. Since elections are the internal affairs of any country, it is important to ensure that the international community fully respects Burundi's ownership and leadership of its elections and provides assistance in accordance with the Government's needs.”

“It has formulated a lO-year development plan for the period from 2018 to 2027, and has been actively cooperating at the international level on the economic and social fronts. In the past four years, more than 60,000 Burundian refugees have voluntarily returned home from neighbouring countries, in a demonstration of the continued improvement in Burundi's situation and the strong aspirations of its Government and people for peace and development. However, peace, stability and development in Burundi cannot be achieved without the support and assistance of the international community. China believes that the international community should prioritize its efforts in two areas. It must first show genuine respect for Burundi's ownership and leadership and create an external environment conducive to ensuring the country's peace and stability.”

China welcomes Ambassador Lauber's recent visit to Burundi, which will contribute to enhancing mutual understanding and cooperation between Burundi and the United Nations and the international community as a whole. In recent years, the political and security situation in Burundi has remained stable and the Government has been making efforts to implement the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement in order to promote reconciliation among the country's various ethnic groups and maintain domestic stability.”

“We hope that Council members will attach importance to the recommendations in the report and, on the basis of respecting the will of the Sudanese Government, make proper arrangements for the future mandate of UNAMID to make sure that the mission will complete its withdrawal as planned, in 2020. China has always supported the peace process in Darfur. As one of the major troop-contributing countries for UNAMID, over the years we have made positive contributions to the maintenance of peace and stability in Darfur. China is ready to work with the rest of the international community to continue to play a constructive role in realizing peace, stability and development in Darfur.”

China welcomes the recent joint submission to the Security Council by the Secretary-General and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission of the UNAMID strategic assessment report (S/2019/445). The report indicates that the overall security situation in Darfur is stable and suggests that, in accordance with resolution 2429 (2018), the drawdown of UNAMID should continue.”

“Secondly, we should continue to promote the peace process in Darfur. China hopes that all parties concerned in Darfur will continue to exercise restraint and call on the opposition parties and armed groups that have not yet joined the political process to effectively abandon the military solution, resolve disputes and differences through dialogue, consultation and other political means and work together to safeguard peace and stability in Darfur. Thirdly, we should continue to provide humanitarian and economic assistance to support the peacebuilding efforts of the Sudanese Government in Darfur. The current focus is to help facilitate the return and settlement of internally displaced persons in Darfur.”

“The international community should continue to provide assistance to Darfur through bilateral and multilateral channels so as to consolidate the results achieved and to advance peace and reconstruction in the region. China would like to emphasize the following three points. First, we should always respect the leadership of the Sudanese Government on the issue of Darfur. The Sudanese Government bears the primary responsibility for maintaining peace and stability in Darfur. When helping solve the Darfur issue, the United Nations and the international community should effectively strengthen communication and coordination with the Sudanese Government, earnestly heed their opinions and suggestions and focus on supporting the Sudanese Government in strengthening security and capacity- building.”

“Mr. Wu Haitao (China) (spoke in Chinese): China wishes to thank Under-Secretary-General Lacroix and Assistant Secretary-General Gilmour for their briefings. In recent years, with the joint efforts of the Sudan, the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) and international partners, the situation in Darfur has improved substantially. Since the second half of last year, when UNAMID began to implement the transition plan through gradual reconfiguration and drawdown, the situation in Darfur has continued to be stable. That fully demonstrates that the Sudanese Government has the capacity to assume its responsibility to maintain peace and security on its own.”

“Recently, UNMIK personnel were obstructed in carrying out their mandated tasks. China is deeply concerned in that regard and considers such obstruction to be completely unacceptable. The privileges, immunities, safety and security of United Nations personnel must be fully respected.

“We hope that all the parties concerned will put the well-being of their people first, refrain from any rhetoric or action that could complicate or escalate the situation and build up conditions for a proper solution to the Kosovo issue, so as to jointly maintain peace, stability and development in the Balkan region As things currently stand, it is important for the Security Council to remain seized of the Kosovo issue and encourage the two parties to carry out genuine dialogue with a view to facilitating a proper solution to the Kosovo issue. China supports the leadership of Special Representative of the Secretary-General Tanin in ensuring the implementation of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and constructive cooperation with all parties.”

I welcome His Excellency Mr. Ivica Daeie, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Serbia, and thank him for his statement. I also listened carefully to the statement of Ms. Citaku. Resolution 1244 (1999) sets an important legal basis for the settlement of the Kosovo issue. Our position on the Kosovo issue is consistent and clear. We believe that within the framework of relevant Security Council resolutions, the parties concerned should reach a mutually acceptable solution through dialogue. We see that as the best way to resolve the Kosovo issue. China respects Serbia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“We support it in enhancing its interaction with the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and other bodies to make its work more transparent. During its presidency of the Council for the month of November 2018, the Chinese delegation sent reminders to Council members and briefers in advance to ensure that meetings began punctually and were focused on priority issues. We encouraged short, concise interventions, thereby creating a culture of results-oriented, efficient meetings. We also made a point of improving our interaction with the Presidents of the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council, the press and others, a move that was well received by all of them. Improving the Council's working methods is a long-term process.”

“Thirdly, the Council should continually improve its working methods in order to ensure that it has real impact. We have given long-standing support to the Council in its efforts to step up communication with all Member States, particularly host and troop- and police-contributing countries. China advocates providing newly elected non-permanent members with greater access to make it easier for them to perform their new duties. Penholderships should be allocated according to the principle of equity so that every member can have an opportunity to contribute to resolving hotspot issues. China has always consistently supported the Council's efforts to improve its working methods and efficiency.”

“In recent years we have noted an increase in the number of cross-cutting items on the Council's agenda, some of which exceed its mandates, and the Council must take the concerns that Member States have expressed about this seriously. Secondly, the Council should strive for as broad a consensus as possible by holding in-depth consultations. That requires that we preserve the Council's unity while carrying out consultations patiently and based on equity. Council members must increase their communication and cooperation in order to fully accommodate the concerns of all parties, and should spare no effort to reach consensus-based decisions. Any attempts to railroad draft texts through in the face of stark differences of opinion must be discouraged with a view to enhancing the authority and effectiveness of the Council's actions.”

“China commends Kuwait, as Chair of the Informal Working Group, for facilitating updates to the note by the President of the Security Council (S/2017/507). China is very committed to improving the Council's working methods and enhancing its authority and effectiveness so that it can better discharge the duties mandated for it by the Charter of the United Nations, and I would like to share the following observations. First, the Council should concentrate on its priorities and discharge its duties in strict accordance with its mandate. That means focusing on major issues of great urgency that threaten international peace and security, rather than intervening in domestic settings that do not represent such threats.”

We have listened attentively to the briefings by Ms. Karin Landgren, Executive Director of Security Council Report, and Mr. James Cockayne, Director of the Centre for Policy Research at United Nations University. The Security Council has a sacred duty to work to maintain international peace and security. It is the shared responsibility of all Council members to improve its working methods and efficiency and meet the expectations of the broader membership of the United Nations. The Council's Informal Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Questions has made useful efforts and achieved a great deal of excellent progress to that end.”

“China is of the View that the signing of the new Minsk agreements and its endorsement by the Security Council in February 2015 have played a crucial role in the political mediation of the Ukrainian crisis. Over the past four years, all parties have held the agreement in high regard. However, regrettably, many provisions of the agreement are yet to be fully and effectively implemented. The political mediation process of the Ukrainian crisis has stalled. There are still difficulties in effectively ensuring the safety of people's lives and property in the conflict area.”

“China hopes the Secretariat and the African Union will keep in close contact and conduct full and objective assessments ofissues such as the implementation of UNAMID's transition plan and Darfur's transition from peacekeeping to peacebuilding, so as to provide timely and feasible suggestions to the Security Council. The Sudan is an important country in Africa and in the Arab region. Maintaining stability there not only serves the long-term and fundamental interests of the Sudanese people but also contributes to the peace and the security of the wider region and of Africa as a whole. China follows closely the developments in the Sudan. The Transitional Military Council has engaged with parties in the Sudan to carry out dialogue and listen to their aspirations.”

The current focus should be on helping with the return and the settlement of Sudanese internally displaced persons, building and improving local infrastructure and improving agricultural development. China welcomes the necessary support from the United Nations Development Programme, the Peacebuilding Commission and other relevant bodies for the reconstruction and development of the Sudan.

“Darfur is presently at a key juncture, transitioning from peacekeeping to peacebuilding. The international community should continue to advance the relevant political and peace processes in a bid to achieve a steady and smooth transition. The parties to this issue should continue their restraint, avoid the use of force and jointly safeguard the peace and stability of Darfur. Some opposition and armed groups should abandon military solutions in earnest, actively participate in the peace process and resolve their tensions and differences politically through dialogue and consultations. Secondly, it is necessary to continue to provide humanitarian assistance and economic support. The humanitarian situation in Darfur is still challenging. The foundation for economic and social development is still weak.”

We thank Mr. Mamabolo, Joint Special Representative for Darfur and Head of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID), and Ms. Mueller, Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, for their briefings. In recent years Darfur, in the Sudan, has maintained a stable security situation on the whole. Since the implementation of UNAMID's transition plan began in the second half of last year, Darfur has continued to remain stable. However, Darfur is still confronted with some challenges. In view of the current situation, the international community should focus its efforts on the following two aspects. First, it is imperative to continue to advance the political and peace processes.”

The peace process has produced an early harvest. Crop substitution and rural development have made progress. At the same time, the full implementation of the Final Agreement for Ending the Conflict and Building a Stable and Lasting Peace continues to face challenges, which requires the ongoing tireless efforts by the Colombian parties and the international community. Colombia experienced a long civil war. The implementation of the peace agreement in a comprehensive manner touches on numerous issues, including politics, security, development and social integration. It is therefore a system-wide project.”

The resolution will be conducive to MINUJUSTH continuing to discharge its mandate, help the Haitian Government take up its responsibilities for national security, and achieve an orderly final exit. It is in the interest of Haiti and the countries of the region. China voted in favour of the resolution. At the same time, China believes that the Security Council bears the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. MINUJUSTH should be focused on assisting Haiti to deal with peace and security issues and should not be too involved in the country's domestic human rights issues.”

China has been consistently committed to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, to peace and stability in that region, and to seeking a resolution of the issue through dialogue and consultation.
