China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Fu Cong on Tuesday called on the international community to work together for peace and stability in Sudan.
At a UN Security Council Meeting on Sudan and South Sudan, Fu said the conflict still drags on in Sudan, but the international community has made limited progress in promoting ceasefire, and civilians are at the brunt of the persistent conflict.
The current priority for the international community, according to Fu, is to explore a comprehensive and sustainable mechanism to solve the problem, strengthen humanitarian aid and promote peace talks to avoid spillover effects of the regional crisis.
"The international community should work with the African Union to promote peace talks between the warring sides, establish a dialogue framework that includes all related parties and quickly find a sustainable path to peace that fits the reality of Sudan. During that peace process, all parties should respect Sudan’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integration, and ensure that Sudanese people play the leading role. Any external interference or imposition of solutions seeking selfish political interest will only lead to turmoil and division, running counter to the goal of achieving peace and stability," said Fu.
He reiterated that China supports efforts to enhance border management, weapon control and coordination of safeguarding security and humanitarian aid while following the vision of building a security community. The international community must also increase attention and investment in the security of the entire region, helping regional countries effectively respond to refugee crises and security challenges, contain conflict spillovers, and maintain lasting stability in the region, said Fu.
