4. “Libya is concerned about the loss of frozen assets, and the Sanctions Committee should expedite its consideration of appropriate ways to respond to its legitimate concerns. The annual report of the Sanctions Committee’s Panel of Experts on Libya (see S/2021/1256) was leaked before its official release, causing speculation. It is hoped that further measures will be taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents. China is ready to work with the international community to further contribute to achieving lasting peace, prosperity and development in Libya.”

5. “China appreciates the efforts made by the Libyan Government to draw up a Government budget, unify the Central Bank institutions and improve economic management. It encourages the Libyan Government to continue to stabilize oil production, promote economic reforms, improve public services and resume economic development as soon as possible. The international community should increase assistance to benefit and deepen investment cooperation in trade, investment, infrastructure construction and other fields. Fourthly, we should take the current situation into account and serve the overall goal. China has always believed that sanctions are only a means, not an end in themselves. Under the current circumstances, the arms embargo imposed on Libya should be effectively implemented.”

The United Nations must deploy the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) ceasefire monitoring mechanism as soon as possible, in accordance with the requirements of resolution 2570 (2021) and on the basis of the principle of ownership and leadership by the Libyans. The withdrawal of foreign combatants and mercenaries from Libya should be carried out in an organized and orderly manner to prevent further negative impacts on regional stability. Secondly, we should maintain the positive momentum and advance the political transition.”

I would like to make the following points. First, the ceasefire should be maintained, and peace and stability should be preserved. Maintaining the ceasefire is the fundamental prerequisite for advancing the political transition and unifying State institutions.”

We must continue to make efforts in that regard. On China’s initiative, the Security Council will hold a high-level meeting tomorrow on promoting post-pandemic reconstruction in Africa and eliminating the root causes of conflict. We believe that will encourage the international community to pay more attention to the challenges faced by Africa in the context of the pandemic, help Africa speed up post-pandemic reconstruction and resolve the root causes of conflicts.”

19. “China supports all parties in strengthening communication and finding a solution that responds to the current regional context, meets the needs of the Joint Force and takes into account the political and legal concerns of all parties. Such a solution must also be accepted by all parties. Thirdly, comprehensive measures must be taken to eliminate the root causes of conflicts. The security challenges facing the Sahel cannot be completely resolved by military means alone. We must delve into the root causes of conflicts; address the multiple challenges faced by the region, such as economic development issues, food insecurity, environmental degradation and ethnic conflicts; and implement comprehensive policies in order to prescribe the right medicine. China supports the efforts of international partners and the Peacebuilding Commission.”

The Joint Force is a regional counter-terrorism operation authorized by the African Union. The European Union has provided considerable financial support. We look forward to the continued strong support of the European Union, in particular of relevant member States. The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali has provided logistical support to the Joint Force.

21. “China takes note of the relevant operations carried out by European countries in the Sahel and hopes that such operations will strengthen coordination and cooperation with the Joint Force so as to achieve better results. The spillover effect of the conflict in Libya is an important factor in the deterioration of the security situation in the Sahel. The withdrawal of foreign fighters and mercenaries from Libya must be conducted in an expedited yet organized and orderly manner so as to avoid further negative impacts on regional security. Secondly, international support must be increased to resolve the concerns of the Joint Force. The lack of funding is a major constraint to the Joint Force playing a greater role. China supports sustainable and predictable financial support for the Joint Force.”

22. “First, it is important to strengthen coordination and cooperation to form a joint force against terrorism. For some time, the security situation in the Sahel has continued to deteriorate. Terrorist activities have caused heavy casualties, left large numbers of people displaced and caused a spillover effect. China is deeply concerned about the situation and sincerely thanks the countries of the region and the Joint Force for actively carrying out counter-terrorism operations and achieving a number of goals. Chad has added 1,200 military personnel to the Joint Force, thereby fully demonstrating Chad’s important role in regional counter-terrorism. The African Union announced that it will send 3,000 standby troops to the Sahel, which is conducive to strengthening the regional counter-terrorism force.”

Over the years, China has provided large amounts of humanitarian assistance to Yemen through bilateral and multilateral channels. From 2017 through 2020, China provided more than 11,700 metric tons of food aid to Yemen. Since early last year, we have provided polymerase chain reaction test kits, medical masks, personal protection equipment and other anti-COVID-19 supplies to Yemen.”

The risk of famine is imminent. Controlling the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an uphill struggle, and the oil supply is very unstable. China calls on donor countries to disburse their pledges without delay to keep the United Nations humanitarian relief programmes going.”

We welcome the commitments of the Saudi and Yemeni Governments to a peaceful resolution of the conflict. We hope that those efforts will receive a positive response from the relevant parties. Secondly, the roles of regional countries must be leveraged and political talks must be pushed relentlessly. A political solution cannot be achieved without concrete proposals.”

There is significant consensus among the members of the Security Council on the issue of Yemen, which is a political enabler for the resolution of the matter. The next stage should see us working continuously towards our common goal of improving the situation on the ground. I wish to make the following observations. First, we must mobilize every diplomatic effort and work resolutely towards a ceasefire. The military conflict in Ma’rib has not only led to the displacement of civilians, with serious humanitarian consequences, but also exacerbated the confrontation between the parties, undermining the efforts towards a political settlement.”
