"As to the issue of the listing of the 1267 Committee, We have stated our position many times. We always stand for the proper handling of the listing matter in the principle of objectiveness, fairness and professionalism, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang said during his regular press conference here.
He said as far as he knew, members of the Security Council still had differences about certain listing applications.
"China wishes to keep communication and coordination with relevant parties on this matter," he added.
Responding to a question, he said as to the proposal of global counter-terrorism efforts under the coordination of the UN, China agreed with it and adopted a positive attitude.
"The UN made some adjustments to its institutions on terrorism in its Secretariat in a view to further integrating the forces, increasing the UN inputs in counter-terrorism and better coordinating its members' cooperation on counter-terrorism," he added.
The Chinese side, he said, supported the UN in playing a pivotal and coordinating role in international counter-terrorism cooperation.
Responding to yet another question, he stressed that BRICS cooperation had always followed the spirit of openness, incisiveness, cooperation and win-win results.
"The BRICS countries do not seek clique or military alliance, nor do we target at, challenge, offset or replace any one," he added.
He said the BRICS countries stood ready to work with other countries to jointly build the community of common future.
Explaining the concept of "BRICKS Plus" expounded by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, he said it meant that the BRICS countries should further enhance the interactions, dialogue and cooperation with other developing countries and emerging markets and make the cooperation among the BRICS countries better reflect the common positions and collective will of the developing countries.
On the Korean nuclear issue, he said, China's position had always been consistent and clear, adding,
"We stay committed to denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, peacefully resolving relevant issues through dialogue and negotiation and upholding peninsular peace and stability."
On the South China Sea issue, he said, China had stated its principled position many times and added, now with the concerted efforts of China and ASEAN countries, the situation in the South China Sea was turning better while maintaining stability, and the issue had come back to the right track of peaceful solution through negotiation and consultation.
"We hope relevant parties will respect the efforts by regional countries to peacefully resolve the issue through negotiation and consultation and do more things that are conducive to regional peace and stability," he added.
