STATEMENT OF CHINA, October, 2015.

First, we need to step up efforts to find political solutions to hotspot issues and foster an international environment favourable to women’s development. The international community should stand firmly by the values of peace, development and win-win cooperation; vigourously take forward the political process of the relevant conflict- affected countries to promote national reconciliation and resolve differences through dialogue and consultations; and provide security protection and humanitarian assistance to conflict-affected women. At the same time, effective measures must be taken to ensure that women have full rights to participate in every stage of peace processes and that their voice and demands are heard.
