China calls for more assistance to Central Africa

 UNITED NATIONS, June 29 (Xinhua) -- China on Friday called on the international community to pay more attention and provide more assistance to Central Africa as the region is facing a lot of challenges.

"The central African region is still faced with many challenges in realizing lasting¹ peace and sustainable development," said Wang Min, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, at an open meeting of the Security Council on the situation in Central Africa.

"Weak economy and rampant² transnational organized crime heavily affect social stability," he said, expressing China's concerns.

"We hope the international community would pay more attention and provide practical assistance to central African region," Wang said, adding that China is willing to play a positive and constructive³ role in it.

China strongly condemned⁴ the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) which continues its damaging operations in many countries. China is seriously concerned about the humanitarian⁵ problems caused by its activities, Wang said.

"We support regional countries in their efforts to combat the LRA, welcome African Union's regional cooperation initiative and appreciate regional strategy developed by the UN to combat the LRA, " Wang said. "We hope that various actors in international community will enhance communications, coordinate⁶ actions and provide sufficient resource guarantee to ensure the effective implementation⁷ of the said initiatives and strategy."
