China will continue to work with all parties and make unremitting efforts to fight poverty and achieve common development, a Chinese envoy to the UN said on Monday.
At the Peacekeeping Commission Annual Session, Robert Piper, Special Adviser on Solutions to Internal Displacement, said that conflicts and violence are the primary drivers of long-term internal displacement, which is further exacerbated by environmental degradation and natural disasters.
China's Permanent Representative to the UN, Fu Cong, stated that the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission(PBC) has maintained a balanced approach to political, security, and development issues. It has further strengthened its ties with the General Assembly and ECOSOC, and actively provided recommendations to the Security Council. China highly values this approach and supports Brazil's re-election to the PBC Organizational Committee.
"Today's world is a volatile one marked by wars and conflicts. We are witnessing a record number of internally displaced persons and refugees, as well as daunting challenges for countries in post-conflict recovery and development. In this context, China supports the PBC's discussions on this issue, so as to seek effective solutions and provide reference to the Security Council and the countries concerned," said Fu.

China on Wednesday used an upgraded version of the Kuaizhou-1A (KZ-1A) carrier rocket to launch a new remote-sensing satellite into orbit.
The upgraded version of the Kuaizhou-1A (KZ-1A) carrier rocket, carrying the new remote-sensing satellite equipped with a synthetic aperture radar (SAR), blasted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province at 12:46 Beijing Time (0446 GMT) on Wednesday.
The upgraded version of the Kuaizhou-1A, a solid-propellant rocket, has a stronger payload capacity, higher reliability and improved performance.
"The fairing diameter has been enlarged from 1.4 to 1.8 meters, and the payload capacity of the Kuaizhou-1A in low Earth orbit has increased from 300 to 450 kilograms. Additionally, we have incorporated various technologies, including optimized high-load ratios, detasking, landing area control, and online parameter adjustment, which enhance the rocket's reliability and performance," said Fan Wei, deputy chief designer of the Kuaizhou-1A.
The mission development team also further optimized the orbital control scheme and applied landing control and other technologies, improving both the mission's adaptability and reliability, enabling it to undertake various types of launch missions, according to Fan. "Moving forward, the Kuaizhou-1A and Kuaizhou-11 will complement each other to form a system of low- and high-orbit carrier rockets, which will better serve the domestic microsatellite market," Fan said.
Remote sensing satellites refer to those tasked with observing, surveying and measuring objects on land or at sea as well as monitoring weather.
The mission marked the 28th flight of the Kuaizhou 1A model as well as China's 61st space launch so far this year.
Developed by China Space Sanjiang Group, the 20-meter Kuaizhou 1A is the country's most used solid-propellant carrier rocket model.
