China welcomes Sudan to reaffirm peace agreement

BEIJING—China welcomed the recent reaffirmation by the north and south of Sudan to implement the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) on Tuesday.
“China appreciates the north and south for their consideration of the national unity and reconciliation to resolve the difference through dialogue and consultation so as to safeguard the hard-earned peaceful result and promote the peace process,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao.
He told a regular press conference that China was happy to see the north and south of Sudan to reaffirm their implementation of the CPA and declare to establish a joint committee to ensure mechanism and timetable to solve the unsettled problems.
The CPA, signed in 2005, ended a 21-year civil war between north and south Sudan.
