Xinhua news agency, United Nations, October 6 (reporter Wang Jiangang) - Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, said on the 6th that the United Nations and the Ethiopian government should properly resolve the differences caused by the expulsion of seven United Nations staff members from Ethiopia through dialogue and consultation.
At the open meeting of the Security Council on Ethiopia held on the same day, Zhang Jun said that China regretted the differences around the seven United Nations humanitarian workers and noted the respective positions and concerns of the Ethiopian government and the United Nations. China believes that the solution to the problem still depends on dialogue and consultation. The most important thing now is to carry out "quiet" diplomatic efforts to prevent deadlock. China encourages the two sides to maintain contact, fully exchange information and jointly seek solutions to avoid negative impact on the existing trust and cooperation between the two sides. The international community should create a favorable atmosphere for dialogue to solve problems.
Zhang Jun said that at present, the humanitarian needs in Tigre area continue to increase, and the problems of food security and displacement remain prominent. China appreciates that UN humanitarian workers have overcome challenges and delivered urgently needed humanitarian supplies to many people. The United Nations and other international humanitarian agencies should follow the guiding principles of humanitarian relief and help Ethiopia improve its humanitarian response capacity, expand the scale of relief and prevent the situation from deteriorating. China calls on the international community to continue to provide humanitarian resources to Ethiopia, fill the humanitarian gap as soon as possible and ensure that people in need can get help.
He stressed that armed conflict has brought great challenges to humanitarian relief operations. China notes that the Ethiopian government has seriously assumed the main responsibility for humanitarian relief and has taken the initiative to carry out relief operations. At the same time, it is also actively responding to the concerns of international humanitarian agencies and has made a lot of efforts.
Zhang Jun said that Ethiopia has just formed a new government, which China welcomes. The international community should continue to provide assistance to Ethiopia, while respecting its sovereignty and leadership. China supports solving African problems in an African way. The United Nations and the African Union should strengthen cooperation and jointly play a constructive role in promoting national peace and reconciliation in Ethiopia.
On September 30, the Ethiopian foreign ministry said on social media that seven United Nations officials engaged in humanitarian work in Ethiopia were declared "unwelcome" because of "interference" in Ethiopia's internal affairs, and they must leave the country within 72 hours. United Nations Secretary General Guterres issued a statement on the same day, expressing "shock" at the move of the Ethiopian government.
