On October 30, the United Nations Security Council successively voted on two draft resolutions on the Western Sahara issue submitted by the United States and Russia. Both drafts involved extending the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara. The Security Council was unable to extend the mandate of MINURSO due to mutual opposition between Russia and the US. On November 10, the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly was held. Sun Lei, China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said that China appreciates the efforts of all MINURSO personnel. The Western Sahara issue has been pending for a long time, seriously affecting the welfare of the local people and regional peace and stability. The parties concerned should exercise restraint, stop confrontation, and avoid resorting to force; the political process on the Western Sahara issue should proceed through dialogue and negotiations on an equal footing, rather than imposing others or rushing to achieve results. The parties concerned should maintain strategic patience and strive to resolve differences, enhance mutual trust, and forge consensus.
