Xinhua News Agency, United Nations, August 14 (Reporter Pan Yunzhao) China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dai Bing spoke at the Security Council's discussion on the South Sudan issue on the 14th, emphasizing that the international community should respect South Sudan's sovereignty and leadership in political transition and avoid pressure intervention or imposing external standards.

Dai Bing said that at present, South Sudan is at a critical stage in implementing the revitalization agreement and promoting political transition. The international community should provide constructive support for South Sudan's peaceful development. The international community should support South Sudan in better implementing the revitalization agreement, encourage all parties to conduct political dialogue, strengthen unity and mutual trust, and build more political consensus for holding general elections. It is necessary to pay attention to the difficulties and challenges of South Sudan in electoral funding, and provide more resources such as funding for key institutions such as the Electoral Commission and the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Reconstruction Commission to perform their duties and for the unified deployment of forces. South Sudan has its own national conditions and current situation. The people of South Sudan have the right to decide the fate of their country.

Dai Bing said that China supports the South Sudanese government in conducting dialogues with relevant tribes and ethnic groups to seek lasting solutions to disputes over land, pastures, transhumance and other issues, and to achieve peaceful reconciliation as soon as possible. The international community and the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) should continue to support the South Sudanese government in strengthening security capacity building, advancing security sector reform, and effectively enhancing its ability to protect civilians. The international community should also pay close attention to the impact of the Sudanese conflict on South Sudan's security situation, help South Sudan curb the cross-border movement of armed elements, combat cross-border crime and illegal trafficking of small arms and light weapons, and maintain security and stability in South Sudan.

Dai Bing said that South Sudan was established not long ago and has a weak economic foundation. Development partners such as the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program, as well as traditional donors, should provide South Sudan with greater support in terms of livelihood security and economic development to help South Sudan stabilize its economy and people's livelihood. The international community should pay attention to the severe challenge of insufficient funds for South Sudan's humanitarian response, increase humanitarian assistance, and meet South Sudan's humanitarian needs. As a major troop contributor to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, China will continue to firmly support the work of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan and contribute to the peace and prosperity of South Sudan.
