Mr President,
Singapore welcomes the delegation of China.
We recognise the PRC government’s considerable efforts to advance an outcome-based human rights development framework in line with its national context. This is a complex endeavor for a developing country of 1.4 billion people. Significant achievements such as lifting close to 100 million people out of extreme poverty, 10 years ahead of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, should be commended.
To further these efforts, we recommend that China:
First, continue tackling root causes of poverty including by developing human capital in rural areas;
Second, continue equipping its citizens to harness and enjoy the benefits of digital technologies;
Third, continue cooperating with UN agencies such as UNODC to protect its citizens against grave transnational threats, like the world drug problem.
Thank you.
