[The Security Council passed a resolution to technically extend the Sudan sanctions authorization for one month] On September 12, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution on the 11th to technically extend the Sudan sanctions authorization for one month. Sun Lei, charge d'affaires of the Chinese Mission to the United Nations, said in an explanatory speech that given the obvious differences among Security Council members, a one-month technical extension of the Sudan sanctions authorization would give everyone more time to discuss. China had no objection to this and voted in favor of the vote. China has repeatedly emphasized that sanctions are a means, not an end, and cannot be a substitute for diplomatic efforts. The top priority is to focus on how to better implement existing mechanisms. Expanding the scope of coercive measures at will will only worsen the humanitarian situation in Sudan, even promote the prospect of Sudan's secession, threaten regional stability, and undermine the authority of the Security Council. China hopes that in the following consultations, all parties will reach a consensus as soon as possible and play a constructive role in promoting a ceasefire and an end to the war in Sudan and safeguarding Sudan's unity and unity.
