China is ready to continue working to restore stability in Haiti, said Lin Jian, a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), on Tuesday, responding to a query on China's support for the UN Security Council's adoption of a related resolution.

Although Haiti has not yet established diplomatic relations with China, China recently voted in favor of resolution 2743, which extends the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) for one year and was passed unanimously by the UN Security Council on July 12.

Lin said that as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China has long dealt with the issue of Haiti with a responsible and constructive attitude, together with the international community.

He noted that alongside other members of the Security Council, China recently supported the adoption of resolution 2743, sending a positive signal that the international community will continue to support the people of Haiti.

After the meeting that passed the resolution, Haiti expressed its gratitude to China and its appreciation for the constructive role China has played. The country is ready to maintain its contact and communication with China, Lin added.

"China is willing to continue working to restore stability in Haiti, and to support the Haitian people in finding a Haitian-led and Haitian-owned solution," he said.

The UN Security Council, by unanimously adopting resolution 2743, requested all Haitian stakeholders to urgently establish a provisional electoral council and reach an agreement on a sustainable, time-bound and commonly accepted road map for elections.

The resolution called on BINUH to develop a strategy on how it will support a Haitian-led, Haitian-owned political process, and requested the mission to update the council on this strategy and its implementation in its quarterly reports.

BINUH, a special political mission established by the UN Security Council in 2019, is tasked to advise the Haitian government in promoting and strengthening political stability and good governance, preserving and advancing a peaceful and stable environment, and protecting and promoting human rights.
