  6. Fundamentally speaking, implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, promoting the improvement of people’s livelihood and employment, and narrowing development gaps among different regions are the best policies for sustained peace and security. In this regard, it is undoubtedly of great significance to vigorously promote the development of interregional cooperation and interconnection and help post-conflict countries integrate into regional development so that everyone can enjoy the peace dividend. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the restoration of China’s lawful seat in the United Nations. For 50 years, China has been an active supporter of and participant in the cause of the United Nations and a firm defender and practitioner of the Charter of the United Nations.

  7. The international community should respect and uphold ASEAN’s central position in East Asian regional cooperation. At present, it is necessary to help ASEAN to participate constructively in Myanmar’s domestic reconciliation process in an “ASEAN manner” and to de-escalate tensions in Myanmar as quickly as possible, in the interests of the people of Myanmar and the international community. Fourthly, we must pursue common development and prepare the ground for peace. Many regional hotspot issues will ultimately be resolved by development. The United Nations and regional organizations must embrace the concept of promoting peace through development, adopt an integrated approach to peacekeeping, peacebuilding and post-war reconstruction, and help countries in need to access development funds and resources in a timely manner.

  8. Both parties can share their respective experiences and best practices and engage in flexible and pragmatic cooperation. In recent years, the United Nations has been moving in the right direction by strengthening coordination with the African Union, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and other regional organizations. The United Nations should help Africa to improve its own peacekeeping capacities, stability and counter-terrorism capabilities, accelerate S/2021/394 the development of the African standby force, rapid-response forces and the early warning mechanism. It should provide sustainable and predictable financial assistance for the African Union’s peace and security operations and help silence the guns in Africa.

  9. Peace talks should be encouraged in order to narrow differences through dialogue, use good offices to mediate and settle disputes, and find political settlements to hotspot issues. We must also make good use of United Nations peacekeeping operations, uphold the principle of impartiality, and respect the wishes and choices of the people of the countries involved. Enforcement operations must be authorized by the Security Council. Thirdly, we must complement each other’s strengths and create synergy for peace. The United Nations and its Security Council should play a useful overall coordination role and provide more assistance to regional organizations, which in turn should leverage their own advantages and help resolve regional disputes in a manner suited to regional realities.

  10. We must strive to resolve disputes peacefully whenever possible and reject the wilful imposition of sanctions and the threat or use of force. The core role of the Security Council as an international collective security mechanism must be upheld and self- serving practices abandoned. We must advocate openness and inclusiveness and reject geopolitics, bloc politics and ideological confrontation. Only in this way can the actions of regional organizations succeed and be sustained. Secondly, we must prioritize prevention and diversify the tools for upholding peace. The United Nations and regional organizations should promote a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security and diversify the toolkit for maintaining peace, with preventive diplomacy as a priority.

  11. It is necessary for the United Nations and regional organizations to work together to assess experience and lessons learned, maintain useful traditions and innovate, uphold multilateralism and contribute to world peace and development. In that context, I wish to share a few thoughts. First, we must observe norms and build a solid foundation for peace. The Charter of the United Nations is the embodiment of these norms and the cornerstone of cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations. Regional organizations carrying out peace operations must conform to the purposes and principles of the Charter, in particular by respecting national sovereignty and territorial integrity and avoiding interference in the internal affairs of other countries.

  12. China supports Viet Nam’s initiative to convene debate this high-level debate on enhancing cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations. It welcomes Vietnamese President Nguyen Xuan Phuc to preside over today’s meeting, and thanks Secretary-General Guterres for his briefing. Cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations is a clear requirement of the Charter of the United Nations and an important manifestation of multilateralism. As the world struggles with the shockwaves from the profound changes in the international landscape, compounded by the pandemic, we face pronounced challenges in the field of international peace and security and a complex interplay of traditional and non-traditional security issues. This calls for joint efforts at the global and regional levels.
