Sun Lei, Chargé d'affaires a.i. of the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations, made an explanatory statement on the 29th after the Security Council voted to pass a resolution authorizing the extension of sanctions against the Central African Republic, calling on all parties to strictly abide by the relevant sanctions. He said that China welcomed the Security Council's unanimous adoption of a resolution authorizing the extension of sanctions against the Central African Republic. In recent years, with the support of the international community, the Government and people of the Central African Republic have overcome difficulties and made significant progress in the political transition, peace process and national governance. The overall domestic security situation has stabilized, and a new chapter has opened in the country's development. Meanwhile, some regions are still facing armed attacks and cross-border security challenges. Continuing to maintain existing measures such as arms embargoes, asset freezes, and travel bans against armed groups and individuals will help the Government of the Central African Republic contain illegal armed forces, advance the domestic reconciliation process, and expand and consolidate security gains. China calls on all parties to strictly abide by the relevant sanctions, in particular to prevent the importation of external arms and ammunition, and reduce the spillover effects of neighboring conflicts. He said that as a good friend of the Central African Republic, China firmly supports the country's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and is willing to continue to work with the international community to support the country's early achievement of long-term stability, prosperity and development.
