UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Geng Shuang on Wednesday called on the international community to abandon ideology and geopolitical calculations in the fight against terrorism.
"Terrorism is the common enemy of mankind. The international community needs to strengthen unity and cooperation, abandon ideological bias and geopolitical calculations, build a powerful united anti-terrorist front and jointly combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations," the Chinese diplomat said at a UN Security Council meeting on threats to international peace and security caused by terrorism.
In his speech, Geng Shuang noted that the international community should call on the interim authorities of Syria to fulfill their obligations and counter all groups included in the UN Security Council list of terrorist organizations, including the Islamic State and the East Turkestan Islamic Movement.
Given the ongoing difficulties and challenges associated with Syria's counter-terrorism efforts, the UN Security Council should be prudent in deciding to adjust the sanctions regime against the country, the Chinese diplomat added.
China calls on the Afghan authorities to step up efforts to combat terrorism, eradicate all terrorist forces within its borders, and use various structures including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to strengthen anti-terrorism cooperation, he said.
China firmly opposes terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Under the Global Security Initiative, China has helped other developing countries, especially African countries, to enhance counter-terrorism capabilities through bilateral and multilateral channels for many years, he said.
“China is ready to cooperate with all partners to advance global efforts to combat terrorism and actively contribute to building peace and global security,” concluded the Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the UN. –0–
