3/1 Certain countries attempted to manipulate hot-spot issues for political purposes, causing serious political confrontation at OPCW, undermining the int'l system prohibiting chemical weapons, said Mr. Sun Xiaobo, DG of DAC, MFA China, at the general debate of the #RevCon5.
3/2 Recent interactions in the Middle East fully illustrate that peace and development is the trend of the world & aspiration of the people. Regional countries have the will and ability to take the lead in promoting regional peace and development.
3/3 States Parties are called upon to reject political manipulation, bring the OPCW back to the right track & create favorable conditions for resolving hot spot issues including Syrian chemical weapons issue & safeguarding regional and international peace and stability.

Chinese MFA spokesperson answered on the China’s expectations for the fifth Review Conference of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) in Hague.
He said, the conference evaluates the CWC’s implementation status and sets out priorities for the upcoming five years. It is of great significance for enhancing global security governance and safeguarding international peace and security.
In recent years, the CWC faces severe challenges. The destruction of Japan’s abandoned chemical weapons (ACWs) in China has been delayed for multiple times, which becomes the most realistic challenge to realizing a world free of chemical weapons.
