UN, December 10 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Sun Lei called on Tuesday for collective efforts to build a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture in the context of the Ukrainian crisis at a Security Council meeting on Ukraine.
The Ukrainian issue has entered a critical phase, he said, noting that international discussions are increasingly focused on negotiations and moving closer to peace. He added that China welcomes this progress, supports all efforts aimed at achieving peace, and hopes that the international community will work together to achieve an early political resolution to the crisis.
Sun Lei called on the parties concerned to take advantage of the positive momentum and strive for an early conclusion of a fair, lasting and binding peace agreement.
"Despite the fact that the parties involved reached the Minsk agreements, the crisis around Ukraine still occurred, and its main cause is the failure to properly address its security problems and the root causes of the conflict," the Chinese diplomat said, adding that any new peace agreement should be based on this lesson."
He said China calls on all parties to properly address the root causes of the conflict, build a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture, and uphold the principle of the indivisibility of security.
Sun Lei stressed that China will continue to play a constructive role in promoting a political settlement of the crisis.
