China has been closely following Cyprus’ political process. We welcome efforts made by the UN and relevant parties towards a result-oriented 5+1 informal meeting in Geneva from April 27 to 29, 2021. We hope that it will help lead to relaunch of the negotiations.
Our principled position remains that the Cyprus Problem should be resolved on the basis of relevant UN resolutions and the will of the Cypriot people for a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement. This serves the interest of Cyprus’ stability and prosperity and the interest of the Eastern Mediterranean region at large.
As one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, China has always been playing and will continue to play a constructive role in facilitating resolution of the Cyprus Problem and support Cyprus’ efforts in safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Meanwhile, China will also continue to support the work of the Bi-communal Committees.
China fully recognizes the role of UNFICYP in maintaining peace and stability in Cyprus. We have given staunch support to UNFICYP mandate renewals. We are very proud of the Chinese peacekeeping police officers serving in UNPOL Cyprus and their excellent work.
