关于这项工作，非洲有一个共同立场，即通过和解和协商一致方式达成的《埃祖尔韦尼共识》，十多年来，我国一直坚定不移地倡导这一立场。我国代表团此时此地重申非洲的要求，在安全理事会常任理事国类别中，必须有一两个非洲大陆会员国的代表，从各方面来说，这都是合情合理的。
With regard to that project, Africa has a common position, monumentalized in Ezulwini, which is conciliatory and consensual, and my country has steadfastly continued to advocate it for more than a decade. My country’s delegation reiterates here and now the African demand, which is legitimate in every respect, to be represented by one or two of the continent’s Member States in the category of permanent member of the Security Council.
