Sun Lei, China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, made a statement during the Security Council's consideration of the South Sudan issue on the 10th, calling on the international community to help South Sudan successfully hold a general election. Sun Lei said that with just over a month left until the general election date set by the South Sudanese government, South Sudan's political process has entered a critical stage. The general election has been a long-cherished wish of the people of South Sudan since their independence. China calls on all parties and ethnic groups in South Sudan to put the overall situation first, immediately cease hostilities, ease tension, determine election-related arrangements through inter-party negotiations, and try to avoid chaos due to electoral wars. China welcomes the commitment of the countries concerned to provide logistical and technical support for the general elections in South Sudan. The international community should lend a helping hand to help South Sudan cope with difficult challenges such as insufficient electoral resources, support electoral institutions in carrying out their duties, and ensure the smooth and orderly conduct of the general election.
