It is on the basis of that position that ve will vote in favour of the draft resolution. In recent days the foreign nationals in Iraq and Kuwait, including Asian nationals in their hundreds of thousands, have been stranded. Their plight has caused great concern in the international community. The Security Council adopted resolution 666 (1990) on the question of supplies of foodstuffs to be sent to Iraq and Kuwait in humanitarian circumstances, and the Committee established under resolution 661 (1990) has issued a statement in that regard. We are of the view that those foreign nationals are innocent and should not be hurt by the sanctions, In accordance with international law Iraq has the responsibility to ensure their rights and interests. China supports the proper measures taken by the countries concerned in protecting their nationals. We hope that the Iraqi Government will implement the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, co-operate fully with countries and international organixations concerned and alleviate the sufferings of those foreign nationals 60 as to facilitate an appropriate solution of this problem. The Security Council has already adopted a number of resolutions. A certain period of time is needed so that the resolutions may yield fruitful results in the 
analysis: The text appears to be a statement by the Chinese representative to the United Nations, addressing the situation in Iraq and Kuwait, particularly the plight of foreign nationals stranded in the region. The statement expresses concerns about the safety of diplomatic missions and personnel, the implementation of international obligations, and the provision of humanitarian aid. The tone is diplomatic and emphasizes the need for cooperation and implementation of Security Council resolutions.
