UNITED NATIONS, July 3 (Xinhua) — China’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations Geng Shuang on Wednesday called for efforts to advance the political process in Haiti.
To overcome the current crisis, Haitian parties and factions must strengthen their unity, effectively advance a political process led and owned by Haitians themselves, and develop an effective, comprehensive and long-term strategy, the diplomat said.
He also called for efforts to effectively implement the arms embargo imposed by the UN Security Council and to cut off Haitian gangs’ access to sources of weapons and ammunition.
China supports the efforts of UN agencies, international and regional partners to increase aid to Haiti and help Haitians overcome difficulties, Geng Shuang said.
He added that the international community must address the root causes of chronic instability and gang violence in Haiti, strive to transform foreign aid into Haiti’s potential for independent development, and take steps to break the vicious cycle of poverty and violence.
China is willing to continue to cooperate with the international community to play a constructive role in helping the Haitian people recover from the crisis as soon as possible and ensure peace, stability and development, Geng Shuang concluded. –0–
