The resolution embodies the will of the Council, while taking into account the concerns of the affected countries and the troop-contributing countries, including Ethiopia. Thanks to the joint efforts made by the Sudan and South Sudan, alongside the international community, the situation in Abyei remains calm in general, but challenges remain to its political and security situation. UNISFA's ongoing active implementation of its mandate will be conducive to the maintenance of regional peace and stability. China hopes that the resolution will be earnestly and effectively implemented.”

This shows the determination of the Council to push for a political solution of the issue and adhere to the Mission's mandate.

  11. “A new round of peace talks will take place in Geneva in mid-May. All the relevant parties must remain firmly committed to their diplomatic efforts and continue to support both the work of Special Envoy de Mistura and the United Nations as a primary mediator. All of the parties in Syria must participate constructively in the talks and on the basis of the principle that the dialogue and negotiations should be Syrian-led and Syrian-owned, with the aim of gradually reaching a complete and lasting solution that is acceptable to all parties. The terrorist attacks on Syrian territory are a serious setback to international assistance efforts. China condemns the recent terror attack in Al-Rashidin that targeted the evacuation of civilians.”

The conflict in Syria has resulted in massive civilian casualties, and China sympathizes deeply with the suffering of the Syrian people.

China supports the efforts of the Government of Colombia in taking forward the peace process and supports the United Nations Mission in Colombia in the continued implementation of its mandate. The Security Council is to visit Colombia in early May, which China welcomes. We expect to learn about the situation there through this field visit.

  16. “Secondly, the Government of Colombia and FARC are firmly committed to the ceasefire and no violations have been observed. Thirdly, both parties have committed to completing the process of surrendering their weapons in the next three months. Once again, that demonstrates the determination of the Government of Colombia and the FARC to jointly take forward the peace process. That has a lot to do with the robust assistance provided by the United Nations Mission in Colombia, led by Special Representative Arnault. China appreciates the efforts by the Government of Colombia and all the other parties concerned. The internal domestic war in Colombia lasted for half a century. Healing the traumas of war is not an easy task.”

On behalf of China, I would like to express our sincere condolences to Colombia with regard to the landslide that resulted in major casualties and loss of property. China immediately provided humanitarian assistance to the Government of Colombia, and we believe that the Colombian Government and its people will overcome this disaster and rebuild their homes. With the joint efforts of the Government of Colombia and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC), the implementation of the Peace Agreement has been proceeding smoothly in general. First, about 7,000 FARC members have reached the transitory normalization zones smoothly and they are beginning to lay down their arms.”

  18. “At a time when the fight against terrorism is facing increasing challenges, infrastructure has become an easier target for terrorist attacks. The international community should pay great attention to that and be united in its efforts. Terrorism is the common enemy of humankind, and China advocates a unified criterion in our fight against terrorism in which we fully leverage the leading role of the United Nations and the Council, while abiding by the purposes and principles of the Charter and enhancing coordination and scaling up cooperation in the fight against terrorism so as to jointly maintain world peace and security. In conclusion, I wish the United Kingdom all the best in its Presidency for the month of March.”

  19. “China stands for resolutely defending the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and for establishing a new type of international relations featuring win-win cooperation and developing a shared, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security vision. The roles of the United Nations and the Council in stopping war and peacekeeping should be fully utilized. We must address the underlying causes of conflicts for the sake of development. We should also scale up efforts for preventive diplomacy and peacebuilding. We must remain committed to solving differences through political means. The third issue concerns combating terrorism. This month, the Council held an open debate on the protection of critical infrastructure from terrorist attacks (see S/PV.78 82).”

The second issue concerns the prevention of conflicts. Peace has been the common aspiration and lofty goal of humankind.”

  21. “Mr. Zhang Dianbin (China) (spoke in Chinese): China welcomes the convening of this meeting by Ukraine and appreciates that country's leadership as President of the Security Council in guiding the Council's work for the month February. We once again convey to the delegation of the Russian Federation our condolences on and sadness felt over the passing of Ambassador Churkin. With regard to this month's work, I would like to focus on the following three issues. The first concerns the situation in Europe. This month, the Council held a ministerial meeting on conflicts in Europe (see S/PV.7886) and held briefings on the work of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the question of Kosovo. Recent years have witnessed general stability in Europe and progress on some hotspot issues.”
