This has resulted from efforts by Guinea-Bissau itself and at the same time is inseparable from the support of the international community. However, Guinea-Bissau has a weak economic foundation and faces many challenges in the field of social development. We call upon the international community to continue its support for Guinea-Bissau in an effort to combat drug trafficking, create employment and improve infrastructure. We expect and believe that with the joint efforts of the Government, all political factions and the people of Guinea-Bissau, and with earnest support from the international community, the process of peacebuilding in Guinea-Bissau will continue to yield positive progress.”

48. “Those events show that people want stability in Guinea-Bissau; the political situation can be expected to improve. China hopes that all parties in Guinea-Bissau will build upon the election to enhance dialogue and further increase common ground with a view to consolidating effectively the process of political reconciliation. The prolonged political instability in Guinea-Bissau is rooted in issues of development. The peacebuilding process cannot be effectively consolidated unless political reconciliation and economic development can be pushed forward in parallel. People want peace, because they want a happy life. They want peace to take root and they want lasting political reconciliation. Economic and social development must be promoted consistently, so that people can feel the benefits that peace brings to their lives.”
