On December 14 local time, the Security Council held a public meeting on Yemen. Geng Shuang, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, made a speech at the meeting, calling on the international community to put forward an operational road map for peace in Yemen as soon as possible and to respond to the current economic and humanitarian crisis in Yemen in a more effective and sustainable manner. Geng Shuang said that this is the last time this year to consider the Yemen issue. Over the past year, the situation in Yemen has not improved, and the overall situation is still deteriorating. The military conflict in malib and other fronts has caused a large number of casualties. The frequent attacks on Saudi civilian facilities seriously threaten the safety of civilians. China is deeply concerned about this. As the special envoy said in his briefing just now, the battlefield situation fully shows that no party can become a winner, there is no way out by military means, and we must adhere to a political solution. Geng Shuang said that China supports the United Nations mediation of the peace process in Yemen and welcomes the peace initiative put forward by Saudi Arabia in March this year. China hopes that the United Nations will put forward an operational road map for peace as soon as possible. All parties in Yemen should focus on the fate of the country and the interests of the people, return to the correct track of dialogue and negotiation at an early date, and facilitate and cooperate with the special envoy in his work. All parties to the conflict have their own concerns about the ceasefire in malib and the lifting of the blockade on Sana'a airport and heteda port. They should show political will, adhere to the opposite direction and reach an acceptable solution to the focus issues. Countries in relevant regions should also create a good external environment for Yemen to restore peace and stability. Geng Shuang pointed out that the conflict in Yemen has been delayed for six years, food prices have doubled, jobs have shrunk, people's purchasing power has declined, and they have faced the risk of famine several times. The humanitarian needs of Yemen are becoming increasingly urgent. However, in the context of COVID-19 and global humanitarian demand, the humanitarian resources that can be mobilized and allocated to Yemen are decreasing. The international community must respond to the economic and humanitarian crisis in Yemen in a more effective and sustainable manner, so as to protect and save more lives. Geng Shuang pointed out that in this regard, The United Nations recently launched the Yemen economic framework action (Yemen economic framework), implement short-term, medium and long-term relief in stages, and strive to provide emergency food relief to Yemen, improve local food productivity and people's purchasing power, reduce imported food prices and promote market liquidity. China appreciates this. It hopes that the international community, including donor countries, will increase bilateral and multilateral assistance to Yemen and strengthen coordination with the United Nations system. China welcomes the recent adjustments made by the Yemeni government to the national financial sector, which will help the above-mentioned departments to work more professionally and efficiently and strengthen the international community's confidence in the Yemeni economy. Geng Shuang finally stressed that all parties to the conflict must ensure safe and unhindered humanitarian access, maintain the operation of various ports, and ensure that humanitarian supplies reach people in need as soon as possible. The issue of the Safire tanker can not be delayed. I hope Hussein will honor his promise and allow the United Nations to send personnel on board for maintenance as soon as possible. (outlook new era)
