President, 

I thank the chairs of the 1267 Committee, the CTC, and the 1540 Committee for their briefings, and commend Denmark, Algeria, and Panama for their work as chairs of the three committees. I would like to share the following views. 

First, the 1267 Committee is an important counter-terrorism sanctions mechanism of the Council. Over the past year, the Committee has orderly processed applications for listing, de-listing and temporary exemptions, and appointed a new Ombudsperson, and its Monitoring Team reports have provided important references for international counter-terrorism cooperation. We call on Committee members to strengthen unity and cooperation, support the Committee’s designation of Balochistan Liberation Army and its Majeed Brigade, which sends a strong signal of zero tolerance for terrorism. 

Second, the CTC is the main body responsible for monitoring the implementation of the counter-terrorism resolutions of the Council. Over the past year, the Committee has conducted country visits, closely tracked terrorist threats and trends, and provided guidance to member states on counter-terrorism obligations and capacity-building. We call on the CTC to focus on key issues, optimize resource allocation, and provide great assistance to developing countries, in particular, African countries, in combating terrorism. China supports the mandate renewal of CTED and will continue to play an active role in the international fight against terrorism. 

Third, the 1540 Committee is an important organ for promoting international cooperation on non-proliferation. Over the past year, the Committee has done a lot in preparing training courses for national focal points, assisting with national action plans, matching assistance, revising voluntary technical reference guides, and strengthening international cooperation. China supports the Committee in conducting more targeted and diversified international assistance cooperation and supporting the capacity-building of developing countries. Meanwhile, the Committee's work should strike a balance between non-proliferation and peaceful use and ensure that people in developing countries enjoy the benefits of scientific and technological progress. 

President,

At present, the global counter-terrorism landscape remains complex and daunting, and the non-proliferation work remains an uphill battle. China stands ready to work with other Council members to strengthen solidarity and cooperation and help the three Committees better perform their duties, thereby making positive contributions to eliminating terrorism and improving the international non-proliferation regime. 

Thank you, President.
