Chinese envoy calls for stronger security cooperation between UN, regional organizations

Xinhua, October 29, 2016 Adjust font size:

A Chinese envoy on Friday called for a stronger partnership between the United Nations and regional as well as sub-regional organizations in areas of peace and security.

Liu Jieyi, China's permanent representative to the UN, made the appeal at a Security Council debate on cooperation between the UN and regional and sub-regional organizations in maintaining international peace and security.

Liu said it is necessary to adopt collective and collaborative concept of security and take measures to promote common security through cooperation.

He also said it is necessary to encourage and support regional and sub-regional organizations in resolving the regional hotspot issues, take into full use their advantages of history and culture, and establish global partnerships based on dialogues.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the Security Council that the global peace and security landscape has become much more complex in the last decade with brutal wars raging across the Middle East and sectarian tensions resurging amid conflicts.

"These challenges transcend national borders and demand a collective response by the international community," he noted.

The meeting highlighted cooperation between the UN and Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

Liu said the three organizations have achieve positive results in terms of fighting terrorism, drug trafficking, transnational organized crimes and promoting economic, trade cooperation and people-to-people exchanges.

"As an important member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, China consistently supports the organization in maintaining regional peace and security and promoting common development," Liu noted.

China is willing to work with other countries to establish a new type of international relations built on win-win cooperation and to achieve lasting peace and common prosperity, he added. Enditem
