Statement by Ambassador Wu Ken, Head of the Chinese Delegation, at the General Debate of the Twenty-First Session of the Conference of State Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention

主席先生：
Mr. Chairman,

首先，請允許我代表中國代表團對你當選《禁止化學武器公約》締約國大會主席表示祝賀。中國代表團願與你和各國代表團充分合作，推動大會取得成功。我也願對大會前任主席墨西哥大使愛德華多·伊瓦羅拉·尼科林閣下的卓越工作表示讚賞。
Please allow me, at the outset, to congratulate you, on behalf of the Chinese delegation, on your election as the Chairman of the Conference of States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention. The Chinese delegation is prepared to cooperate fully with you, and with all the other delegations, in making this session a success. I would also like to express my appreciation to your predecessor, His Excellency Ambassador Eduardo Ibarrola-Nicolin of Mexico for the excellent work which he has performed.

主席先生，
Mr. Chairman,

今年，在禁化武組織各成員國共同努力下，《禁止化學武器公約》履約工作繼續向前推進，《禁止化學武器公約》和禁化武組織對維護全球和平與安全的重要意義進一步凸顯。中國讚賞總幹事艾哈邁德·尤祖姆居閣下及技祕處全體同事的專業素養和奉獻精神，感謝他們爲推進公約實施所做的大量工作。
This year, thanks to the joint efforts made by all the States Parties of the OPCW, the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) has continued to press ahead. And the significance of the CWC and the OPCW for the safeguarding of global peace and security has been further highlighted. China wishes to commend the Director-General, His Excellency Ahmet Üzümcü, and all the colleagues in the Secretariat for their professionalism and dedication, and thank them for the enormous amount of work which they have carried out in promoting the implementation of the Convention.

中方感謝總幹事艾哈邁德·尤祖姆居閣下的全面介紹，贊同委內瑞拉大使海法·埃薩米閣下代表不結盟運動和中國所做的發言。下面請允許我進一步闡述中方立場：
The Chinese delegation thanks the Director-General, His Excellency Ahmet Üzümcü, for his comprehensive work report, and associates itself with the statement made by Her Excellency Ambassador Haifa Aissami of Venezuela on behalf of the NAM States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention and China. Now, please allow me to elaborate China’s position further.

第一，禁化武組織應繼續堅持不懈推進化武銷燬工作。化武銷燬不僅是公約的核心宗旨和目標，也是禁化武組織今後相當長一段時期的首要任務。禁化武組織應繼續確保在這一領域的資源投入。有關化武擁有國應按照公約及禁化武組織決策機構相關決定，儘早完成銷燬工作。
Firstly, the OPCW should make continuous and relentless efforts to press CW destruction forward. CW destruction constitutes not only a core object of the Convention, but also the primary task of the OPCW for a very long time to come. The OPCW should continue to ensure its resources inputs in this regard. The CW possessor states concerned should work to complete their destructions at an early date in compliance with the Convention and the relevant decisions adopted by the policy-making organs of the OPCW.

同時，中方希望各成員國保持團結，維護禁化武組織的權威、團結和協商一致傳統，堅持通過對話合作，最終實現敘利亞化武問題的妥善解決。事實調查組、宣佈評估小組、禁化武組織—聯合國聯合調查機制都要根據各自授權，繼續本着客觀、公正立場，以專業方式開展工作，在尊重當事國主權的前提下，同敘利亞政府加強合作。
At the same time, it is China’s hope that States Parties will remain united, preserve the authority, unity and the tradition of consensus of the OPCW, and work to achieve eventually a proper solution to the issue of the Syrian CWs through dialogues and cooperation. The Fact-Finding Mission, the Declaration Assessment Team and the OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism should all continue to take an objective and impartial approach and conduct their respective work as mandated professionally, and that they will strengthen their cooperation with the Syrian government while respecting the sovereignty of the country involved.

第二，日本遺棄在華化學武器銷燬工作刻不容緩。日遺化武銷燬關乎公約核心宗旨和目標，日遺化武一天不除，“無化武世界”崇高目標就不能真正實現。日本侵華戰爭結束已70餘年，但大量遺留的化武仍危害中國人民的生命財產和生態環境安全。日方未能在公約規定時限內完成銷燬，責任完全在日方。中方敦促日方切實遵守禁化武組織執理會相關決定，加大投入，確保按期完成銷燬。
Secondly, the destruction of the chemical weapons abandoned by Japan in China (Japanese ACWs) brooks of no further delay. Given the fact that the destruction of Japanese ACWs has a direct impact on the realisation of the core objects and purposes of the Convention, the lofty goal of building “a world free from chemical weapons” will never be truly attained so long as Japanese ACWs have not been eliminated. Although over 70 years have passed since the end of the Japanese War of Aggression against China, large quantities of Japanese ACWs are still endangering the Chinese people’s lives and properties and the ecological and environmental safety in China. Japan should bear the full responsibility for its failure to complete the destruction according to the timeline under the Convention. China urges Japan to implement faithfully the relevant decision adopted by the Executive Council (Council) of the OPCW and increase its inputs in the process, so as to ensure the completion of the destruction as scheduled.

中方作爲領土國，本着建設性姿態，爲推動處理日遺化武問題做了大量努力，承擔着巨大的政治、社會壓力，包括同意在中國境內銷燬日遺化武等，最大限度顯示了靈活與合作。令人遺憾的是，日方在今年7月第82屆執理會上明確表示，無法按照第67屆執理會通過的決定完成2016年日遺化武銷燬階段性目標。這將是日方繼2007年、2012年後，日遺化武銷燬第三度逾期。日方時至今日仍未就逾期後的日遺化武銷燬計劃與中方達成一致，中方對此表示嚴重關切。禁化武組織應關注日遺化武銷燬逾期問題，締約國大會須維護執理會決定的權威性和有效性，對日遺化武銷燬逾期表達關切，敦促日方儘快在2016年年底前就後續銷燬計劃與中方達成一致，並要求執理會繼續關注中日雙方就銷燬計劃磋商的進展。
As the territorial state, China has taken a constructive approach and made a great deal of efforts for facilitating the resolution of the issue of Japanese ACW. For this purpose, China has brought on itself considerable political and social pressures. Such efforts include its consent to Japan carrying out the destruction of Japanese ACWs in China, which is the best demonstration of China’s flexibility and cooperation. It is regrettable, however, that Japan stated explicitly at the 82nd session of the Council of the OPCW that it would be unable to meet the phased target for the destruction of Japanese ACWs by the end of 2016, as specified by the decision adopted by the Council at its 67th session. This represents the third time, after defaulting on the deadline both in 2007 and 2012, that Japan fails to fulfil its task according to the schedule laid down for the destruction of Japanese ACWs. To this day, Japan has not yet reached agreement with China on a destruction plan beyond the set timeframe. China expresses hereby its grave concern over this situation. The OPCW ought to pay high attention to the delayed destruction of Japanese ACWs. And the Conference must uphold the authority and validity of the Council decision, express its concern over the delay, urge Japan to reach agreement with China on a subsequent destruction plan before the end of 2016, and ask the Council to remain seized of the progress in the discussion between China and Japan on the destruction plan.

在此，中方也希望禁化武組織繼續確保對日遺化武的核查資源投入，繼續堅持通過執理會、締約國大會和審議大會，對日遺化武問題進行審議和監督。中方歡迎禁化武組織執理會於2017年派代表團訪問日遺化武設施，考察日遺化武銷燬工作。
On this occasion，China also expresses its hope that the OPCW will continue to ensure resources inputs in its verification regarding Japanese ACWs, and maintain its deliberations on and monitoring of the issue of Japanese ACWs through the Council, the Conference and the Review Conference. China welcomes a visit to be paid by an OPCW Executive Council delegation in 2017 to Japanese ACWs destruction facilities in China, with a view to examining the work of the Japanese ACWs destruction.
