“China will work through the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund and the China- United Nations Peace and Development Trust Fund to scale up resource support and inject new impetus into the relevant activities of the United Nations and its Member States. In conclusion, I hope that today’s open debate will be an opportunity for Member States to not only fully elaborate their positions and views, but also listen to each other and enhance mutual understanding. Our common goal is to put aside differences, seek common ground, build consensus and allow the Security Council to better fulfil its important responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. I resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to those members of the Council who wish to make statements.”

“China spares no effort to assist developing countries, in particular the least developed countries and other countries in special situations, in achieving independent development and fostering and consolidating the foundation for peace and stability. China has proposed the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative, which serve as concrete examples of the concept of development for peace and are Chinese solutions for advancing global development and common security. China will continue to support the United Nations and the Security Council in playing a leading and coordinating role in global peace and development.”

“China is a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of world order. At present, China is forging ahead with high-standard reform and opening up. Chinese-style modernization will not only bring about new development in China but will also create new opportunities for the development of countries around the world. China will remain guided by its good-neighbourly policy of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness and promotes peace, stability, development and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. China has established a collective dialogue and cooperation mechanism with many countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.”

“We call for developed countries to earnestly fulfil their commitments on climate financing and technology transfer and hope that the upcoming twenty-eighth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, to be held in Dubai, will produce more practical results in helping developing countries improve their climate-response capabilities. Sustaining peace and the sustainable development of the entire world cannot be achieved in a scenario where a few countries keep getting richer while the majority of States remain poor and underdeveloped indefinitely. We must build a development-friendly international community, encourage all countries to follow a path of common development and common security, leave no country behind on the road to development and allow no country to get hurt on the journey to peace.”

“We echo the call of the Secretary- General to accelerate the reform of the international financial architecture and support giving developing countries a bigger share of voice in global governance. We urge international financial institutions to better meet the pressing needs of developing countries for development finance, climate response and capacity- building. We welcome a more active role by the New Development Bank, the African Development Bank and their peers in that regard.”

“Rather, it is because developing countries are powerless to change the injustice and inequity of the existing international order. We must resolutely reject protectionism and the practice of putting one’s own country first in international trade. We must oppose the attempts of certain developed countries to obstruct international cooperation by building wars and barriers and engaging in decoupling and severing supply chains due to factors such as ongoing geopolitical conflicts and the spillover effects of the irresponsible financial policies of a major Power. Many developing countries are confronted with greater difficulties in post-pandemic recovery, with some States and regions engulfed by turmoil or facing heightened risks. That situation is a cause for alarm. We support the United Nations in prioritizing the development agenda.”

“With respect to North-South, South- South and triangular cooperation, we should enhance the international synergy for coordinated development and allow the results of global development to benefit all countries equitably. Only by strengthening the community of shared interests among all States and building a community with a shared future for humankind can we fundamentally eliminate the threats of various global security challenges. Thirdly, it is imperative to achieve common development and common security and build a development-friendly international community. Developing countries have made great strides in recent years, but they have remained marginalized in globalization and confined to the lower end of the global supply chain. That is not because developing countries did not work hard.”

“In particular, developed States should effectively honour their commitment to provide development assistance and genuinely help developing countries build up their capacity of independent development. In addition, every effort should be made to allow developing countries to benefit from the dividends of emerging industries, such as digital technology, clean energy and artificial intelligence, so as to allow a leapfrogging of development for those countries. In today’s world, the globalization process has encountered some headwinds, but regional cooperation is still flourishing and going strong. We must supercharge regional and subregional economic integration and promote the integrated development of all countries.”

“We must fully respect the right of every country to choose its own development path and support each country in choosing a governance model that accords with its national conditions in formulating development strategies that leverage national endowment. The repeated relapses into conflict in some African countries fully demonstrate that the externally imposed models are often incompatible with the local environment and have generated even more problems. It needs to be pointed out in particular that the perennial inequality and imbalance in development between the North and South has an inherent historical logic. Developed countries have the obligation and the responsibility to provide tangible assistance to developing countries in achieving development.”

“It is crucial to prevent excessive gaps between the rich and the poor and between the developed and the less developed and to bring States onto the path of sustaining peace and sustainable development. Secondly, achieving mutual respect and common development is an effective way to maintain international peace. We have taken note that some countries, using democracy and human rights as pretexts, blatantly interfere in the internal affairs of other States and even impose governance models on others. Such practices have led to protracted unrest in some regions, as well as a surge in cross-border refugees and migrants, and have ultimately backfired on the perpetrators themselves. States have different national conditions, as well as historical and cultural contexts.”

“Only by realizing people-centred development and eradicating poverty can we eliminate the breeding ground for extremism, conflict and violence. Only by achieving inclusive and sustainable development can we lay a solid foundation for sustaining peace. Fragile countries must rationally distribute their social wealth and ensure equal access to public services. In particular, it is imperative to enhance regional development coordination and protect the rights of all communities and all social segments to enjoy equal development, with special attention paid to vulnerable groups and areas with the biggest development challenges so that development results can benefit the entire population more equitably.”

“First, achieving essential, inclusive and sustainable development represents the cornerstone of sustaining peace and stability of States. The majority of the hotspot issues of which the Security Council is seized are in less-developed regions, with poverty and uneven development as their common challenges. Secure livelihoods are the basis for achieving national stability. Developing agriculture and achieving food self- sufficiency is the only viable means of fighting hunger. Scaling up industrial and infrastructure development is the sure way to improve living conditions and create more jobs. Better health care is essential for the protection of public health. Expanding and improving education is a sine qua non if we want young people to see hope.”

“It is important to recognize that peace and development are intrinsically linked to achieving lasting peace. We must effectively address the root causes of conflict and propose solutions from a development perspective. Some hotspot issues have remained open wounds for a long time. Some have even plunged into a vicious cycle of relapse. All those situations warrant deep reflection. China convenes this open debate with a view to advocating a deeper and broader view of security issues, filling the gap under the development pillar of the United Nations, promoting the idea of development for peace and exploring holistic and effective ways to build sustainable peace. I would like to share the following points.”

“I thank Professor Sachs for his briefing. I believe that many of his insights will be extremely enlightening for our discussion. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of China. Once again, I would like to thank Secretary-General Guterres, President Rousseff and Professor Sachs for their briefings. Their insights are truly enlightening. I would also like to extend a warm welcome to the representatives of Member States participating in today’s meeting. Peace, development and human rights are the three pillars of the United Nations. Among them, development holds the master key to solving all problems and constitutes the basis for promoting peace and protecting human rights. The Security Council is entrusted with the primary responsibility of maintaining international peace and security.”

“The independent review should, on the one hand, be conducive to cooperation between the United Nations and the Sudan and, on the other, avoid imposing external solutions. China supports Secretary-General Guterres in stepping up his good offices and supports the United Nations in continuing to play a constructive role on the issue of the Sudan. I resume my functions as President of the Council. I now give the floor to the representative of the Sudan.”

“China has taken note of the letter from Secretary-General Guterres to the Council (S/2023/849) in which he proposed an independent strategic review of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan (UNITAMS). China hopes that the review will be conducted in such a way that the views of the Sudanese authorities and regional organizations, including the AU and IGAD, will be sought and taken into account. The recommendations arising from that independent review on future arrangements for UNITAMS should meet the actual needs of the Sudan, serve the purpose of promoting the peace process and be helpful in providing robust support to the country’s development.”

“China pays tribute to the international humanitarian agencies for their tremendous work and appreciates the substantial assistance provided to refugees by the Sudan’s neighbours. China supports the United Nations in continuing to play a coordinating role in the provision of humanitarian relief. At present, there is a serious shortage of humanitarian funding in the Sudan and neighbouring countries. The international community, especially traditional donors, should maintain their assistance so as to prevent the crisis from worsening any further. In the light of the changing situation on the ground, the way in which the United Nations should play its due role is an important question facing the Security Council.”

“Restoring peace and stability in the Sudan is the common aspiration of the Sudanese people and the international community at large. China sincerely hopes that the two parties will put the interests of their country and its people first in order to achieve an immediate ceasefire, restore normal order and work together to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country. Like others, China is deeply concerned about the worsening humanitarian situation in the Sudan. The ongoing conflict is aggravating the humanitarian crisis. Currently, 25 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, more than 6 million have been displaced and more than 1.2 million have fled to neighbouring countries amid the fighting.”

China has noted that the two parties to the conflict have resumed negotiations in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and welcomes the fact that the parties have reaffirmed their humanitarian commitments and agreed to take measures to enhance mutual trust. China supports the participation of the African Union (AU) and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in the mediation process and welcomes the efforts of countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia, South Sudan, Egypt and Chad.”

“Thirdly, this month the Council will consider the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA). China appreciates the important role played by UNISFA in maintaining stability in Abyei, promoting the political process and resolving communal conflicts. UNISFA has been facing considerable difficulties in terms of logistics support for some time. China calls on the Secretariat to strengthen cooperation with the countries of the region to restore the regular provision of logistics supplies as soon as possible. We call on the Governments of the Sudan and South Sudan to facilitate the implementation of UNISFA’s mandate. The recent attacks on UNISFA helicopter and patrol units while in the line of duty are alarming. UNISFA must make every effort to minimize safety risks to peacekeepers.”

“Secondly, intercommunal relations are the key to long-term peace and stability in Abyei. China notes the decrease in violent conflicts during the reporting period, and we welcome the efforts of the Government of South Sudan to alleviate intercommunal conflicts. At the same time, the lack of development resources in Abyei remains one of the root causes of violent conflict there, with sporadic outbreaks of communal violence triggered by competition for means of production and daily necessities. China hopes that the United Nations will step up its peacebuilding efforts in the region and help the people of Abyei improve their situation. We encourage the tribes in the region to implement the consensus reached at the transhumance period conference in order to ease tensions and achieve a harmonious coexistence.”

“We hope that the Sudan will institute a ceasefire as soon as possible with the aim of resuming dialogue with South Sudan and relaunching the political process in the Abyei region. We appreciate and support the efforts in that Area by the United Nations, the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and call on the parties concerned to provide security guarantees for the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism. The recent increase in the number of returnees and displaced persons in Abyei has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the Area. China appreciates the humanitarian action on the ground by the United Nations country team and calls on the international community, especially traditional donors, to continue to provide assistance in order to prevent an even greater humanitarian crisis.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of China. I thank Under-Secretary-General Lacroix and Special Envoy Tetteh for their comprehensive briefings, and I welcome the representatives of the Sudan and South Sudan to today’s meeting. It is the consensus of the international community that a political settlement must be found for the Abyei issue. It requires joint efforts by the Sudan and South Sudan, with the attention and support of the Security Council. At present, the political process in Abyei is facing many difficulties and challenges. In that regard, we must increase our efforts in three areas. First, maintaining peace and stability in Abyei is a top priority. The situation in the Sudan has been volatile for some time now, and that has had an impact on the political process in the region.”

“China expects the EU to continue its strong support so as to make a new contribution to the maintenance of security and stability in Somalia. The international community should increase its assistance in order to help the Somali security forces to gradually assume responsibility for security. Somalia has long been suffering a profound humanitarian crisis. A lack of development, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, droughts and the locust plague have further compounded Somalia’s plight. The international community should provide more assistance in areas such as combating the pandemic, post-pandemic reconstruction, debt relief, food security, poverty reduction and mitigation. The recently adopted presidential statement S/PRST/2021/10, on post-pandemic reconstruction in Africa, should be fully implemented.”

The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) has made tremendous efforts to maintain peace and stability in Somalia and has made major sacrifices, which China commends. We welcome the extension of the AMISOM mandate by the AU Peace and Security Council. We note that an AU independent assessment team will soon submit a report on the reconfiguration of AMISOM, We encourage the United Nations, AU troop-contributing countries and the host country to enhance communication in accordance with the principle of Somali leadership and ownership so as to reach consensus on the future configuration of AMISOM. The European Union (EU) has provided significant financial support to AMISOM.”

“The leaders of the Federal Government have reiterated their commitment to the electoral consensus reached on 17 September 2020 and once again convened a dialogue among the Somali parties, which China fully recognizes. To break the current political stalemate is in the common interests of the Somali parties and people. We encourage the Somali parties to put the country’s interests first, strengthen unity and cooperation, make the necessary compromise, rebuild political trust, swiftly agree on electoral arrangements and restore Somalia’s political stability so as to create conditions conducive to the security transition and national reconstruction there. China welcomes the restoration of diplomatic ties between Somalia and Kenya and commends Qatar for the mediation efforts in that regard.”
