China is extremely concerned over the current situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), a senior Chinese diplomat said here on Friday.
"Judging from the current situation, a long-term process is needed in order to settle the situation and to effectively implement all signed agreements," said Li Baodong, Chinese ambassador to the UN Office in Geneva.
Li was addressing a special session of the UN Human Rights Council on the situation of human rights in the east of the DR Congo, where hundreds of thousands of people have reportedly displaced by fighting between government and rebel forces.
China supports UN and EU mediation efforts in the country, and it has been supportive of the peacekeeping process there since the beginning, he said.
He also expressed China's willingness to work together with the international community to achieve a long lasting peace in the region.
