 <\/p>\n

CHINA<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Csaba K\u0151r\u00f6si is this hour in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, for the last leg of his official visit to China.<\/p>\n

He spent the day in Beijing, where he had a number of bilateral meetings.<\/p>\n

In the course of his meeting with Prime Minister Li Keqiang on 3 February, President K\u0151r\u00f6si called on China to, among other topics, further strengthen its engagement and cooperation with the United Nations on all three main pillars of the Organization\u2019s activities, including human rights.<\/p>\n

The President was pleased to confirm China\u2019s intention to continue its active engagement at the Human Rights Council, which President K\u0151r\u00f6si will visit later this month in Geneva.<\/p>\n

He had a lengthy dialogue with experts on sustainable development and water.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, in Henan Province, he will visit the South-North Water Diversion Project and be briefed by the Yellow River Conservancy Commission\u2026 Before returning to New York on Sunday, 5 February.<\/p>\n

I was asked yesterday for any more details on what was discussed with Foreign Minister Qin Gang on the issue of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

What I can tell you is that the President reiterated to the Foreign Minister his conviction about the need to reach a peaceful solution to the conflict as soon as possible, and that the solution must be based on the principles of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Charter.<\/p>\n

And in addition, I omitted when I read out the topics discussed yesterday mention of Japan\u2019s plan to discharge water from the Fukushima Plant. That came up in the bilateral with the Foreign Minister.<\/p>\n
