UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- China's UN envoy on Tuesday called for economic recovery and accelerated reconstruction of Iraq after the country's recent progress in forming a new government.
At a Security Council meeting on Iraq, China's permanent representative to the United Nations Ma Zhaoxu said the Iraqi government should speed up its national reconstruction process, give full play to its advantage in resources, promote its economic development, enhance its capacity in providing public services, and improve people's livelihood.
The international community should continue to provide support and assistance to Iraq, ease its humanitarian situation, assist Iraq in its economic recovery, and create a favorable environment for its national reconstruction, he added.
