UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Sun Lei on Monday told the UN Security Council that it is of utmost importance to advance the political transition in South Sudan.

South Sudan is the world's youngest state and the country's political process cannot happen overnight, he said.

China calls on all political forces in South Sudan to overcome differences through dialogue, speed up the implementation of the agreements under the current peace agreement, and remain committed to a political settlement as the only path to peace, the diplomat stressed.

“The international community should maintain the necessary tolerance and patience, support regional mediation efforts and advocate for African solutions,” Sun Lei said. “In particular, all parties should respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of South Sudan and refrain from illegal and excessive interference or pressure,” the deputy permanent representative added.

According to him, maintaining peace and stability in the country is the top priority.

As the conflict in neighbouring Sudan drags on and continues to expand, the cross-border movement of armed individuals and the illicit circulation of small arms and light weapons are becoming increasingly visible, Sun Lei said. The international community should support South Sudan in strengthening border control and building security capacity, he said.

The UN Security Council should promptly adjust or lift unjustified sanctions against South Sudan, the diplomat said.

China stands ready to continue to play a constructive role with the international community in achieving peace, stability, development and prosperity in South Sudan at an early date, he said. –0–

KABUL, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — Afghanistan's state-owned power company Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) has signed deals with two firms to generate 160 megawatts of coal-fired power in the northern province of Baghlan, the corporation said on Monday.

The agreements will facilitate the establishment of thermal power plants in the coal-rich Baghlan province, the statement said.

This initiative is an important step towards solving the problem of chronic electricity shortages in Afghanistan, which is forced to purchase electricity from Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Iran.

Also a day earlier, Afghanistan signed contracts worth $243 million with investors from Uzbekistan for power transmission and distribution projects, signaling a concerted effort to strengthen the country's energy infrastructure and reduce its dependence on foreign sources of electricity. –0–

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — Security guarantees for Kyiv could be formulated within the next 10 days, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday after talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders in Washington.

“Our partners will probably ‘unpack’ security guarantees, and more and more details will emerge,” he said at a press briefing after meetings at the White House. Detailed agreements are expected to be formally set out in documents in the next seven to 10 days, Zelensky added.

“It is important that the United States sends a clear signal that it will be among the countries helping to coordinate actions and will also take part in security guarantees for Ukraine,” he noted.

On Monday, Trump told Zelensky that the United States would play a role in ensuring Ukraine's security as part of any agreement to end the conflict with Russia. He gave no other details.

Europe is the “first line of defense,” but “we are going to help them,” the White House chief noted.

According to the Ukrainian president, the guarantees include a package of American weapons. “Indeed, there is a package with our proposals in the amount of 90 billion US dollars,” he said. –0–
