Chinese representative: Guarantee food safety is based on both the current and long -term focus

Xinhua News Agency, the United Nations, September 15th. China ’s Permanent Representative of the United Nations Dai Bing spoke at the Grain Safety Conference on the 15th that grain safety is a key factor in achieving lasting peace and security, and it is also a long -term challenge for the international community. Based on a calm and pragmatic attitude, it should be based on the current problem, solve the problem of urgency, but also focus on the long -term to achieve the goal of completely eliminating hunger.

Dai Bing emphasized that first, the international community must vigorously promote the political solution of hot issues and create a peaceful and safe environment to ensure the safety of food. Armed conflicts destroyed agricultural production, destroyed agricultural facilities, interrupted food trade, and triggered a displacement, which directly deteriorated the local food safety situation. As long as the conflict and war are not completely resolved, the local people will continue to be hungry.

Second, the supply chain of the industrial chain must be ensured. The main food exporter and the country where the main grain enterprises are located should work together to crack down on the behavior of coaxing the prices of grain. At present, due to many obstacles in bank settlement, insurance and shipping, millions of tons of Russian fertilizer stagnation cannot be exported in time in the European port. These obstacles must be cleaned as soon as possible to ensure the freedom and stability of key agricultural resources.

Third, it is necessary to help people in conflict are over. Aid in conflict areas can only increase or decrease. In developed countries, we must effectively fulfill the official development assistance commitment, and international financial institutions and developed economies must strengthen policies and financing support to developing countries facing special difficulties.

Fourth, we must strengthen food safety capabilities in all aspects. At present, the world's grain supply and demand patterns are highly concentrated in production countries and highly decentralized consumer countries. Helping more countries to improve the ability of food self -guarantee is the most direct and effective way to improve the situation of food security.

Dai Bing said that as a country with the largest population in the world, China has solved the problem of eating about one -fifth of the world's population with less than 9%of the world's arable land, which is a major contribution to the security of the world's food. China will make more contributions to maintaining world food security with countries around the world.
