Adjust font size:

Chinese Ambassador to the UN Wang Guangya, called on Tuesday for joint effort by the international community to fight terrorism without any bias.

 

The Security Council met Tuesday to hear briefings by the Chairmen of the three anti-terrorism committees. Addressing the other 14 members of the Security Council, Wang said terrorism continues to wreak havoc in various parts of the world.

 

"Numerous innocent civilians, including Chinese citizens, were deprived of their right to life in a most cruel manner," he noted, stressing that the threat of terrorism is ever present and no country can hope to remain unaffected by minding its own business.

 

"If one pays attention only to combating terrorist individuals or entities endangering one's own country but turns a deaf ear to legitimate demands of other countries, or even sets up blocks to other countries' efforts; if one is only focused on combating individuals or entities currently engaged in plotting terrorist attacks but shows leniency to, even deliberately shields terrorist forces which lie low and conceal their true color, then there is little hope that international anti-terrorism cooperation can develop smoothly and continue in the future," he observed.

 

He pointed out that only when countries regard terrorist forces threatening other countries as their own enemy and joint hands with other countries in effectively combating such terrorist forces can there be no lacuna in international struggle against terrorism and can there be hope that this scourge of mankind will finally be eliminated.

 

He reiterated that resolutely fighting terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is both the common obligation of all countries and the basis for the Security Council on which to deepen counter-terrorism cooperation.

 

"China will continue to take an active and constructive approach in pushing for genuine and effective implementation of the relevant Security Council resolution," he concluded.
