At a key UN briefing, China’s envoy Fu Cong delivered a pointed critique of selective terrorism policies and double standards. The March 4 session focused on advancing the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, where Fu stressed the dangers of inconsistent international responses.
Rooted in a holistic approach, Fu advocated for eradicating terrorism’s foundations through poverty alleviation and fostering dialogue between civilizations. Reflecting on two decades of the strategy’s success, he noted its contributions to disruption efforts, capacity building, and multilateral partnerships.
Fu reaffirmed Beijing’s backing for the UN’s leadership in these initiatives. Yet, he pointed to evolving threats: terrorism’s links to wars, transnational crime, disparities, and tech abuses demand renewed vigilance.
Seizing the ninth review as a turning point, Fu urged intensified support for Africa via partnerships with regional bodies like the African Union. This stance positions China as a vocal proponent of impartial global security frameworks.
