China's representative at the United Nations, Fu Cong, called for the Taliban to lift restrictions on women working in United Nations institutions. The remarks were delivered during a Security Council session addressing the situation in Afghanistan.
Fu Cong welcomed the one-year extension of the mandate for the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. This extension was approved through resolution 2822. He suggested that the mission could function as a bridge for engagement with the Taliban.
The Chinese representative urged the Taliban to consider legitimate demands, with special focus on women's rights. He also called for the formation of an inclusive government. Adherence to international commitments was highlighted as important.
The United States voted in favor of the one-year extension. This position contrasts with its earlier opposition to a three-month extension.
