Chinese envoy calls for consultation with South Sudan on deploying regional force

The United Nations Security Council holds a meeting on Sudan and South Sudan at the UN headquarters in New York, the United States, Aug. 12, 2016. A Chinese envoy on Friday called for full consultation with South Sudan on the deployment of a regional protection force, saying the deployment should obtain consent from the country's transitional government. Only by doing so will the regional protection force truly achieve the goal to promote peace and stability in South Sudan and to create favorable conditions for implementation of a peace agreement of all parties, China's Ambassador Liu Jieyi told the UN Security Council.
