The Security Cowcil, in having recourse to Chapter VII of the Charter, eomething very rare in the history of our Organisation, is confronting Iraq with it8 reeponsibilitiee in the eye8 of the world and calling on it to withdraw its trcrp8 -rit40iiGiti~iiPily from iiiwdi; so that the muitinarionai troops stationed in the reqion at the request of sovereign Governments would withdraw in turn. Zaire pledges itself to that. If the roots of the crisis are eliminated, its effects will disappear also. NWpt S/PV. 2943 46 m. Qm (China) (interpretation from Chinese)r Sir, at the outset, please allow me to pay a tribute to you, the President of the current meeting of the Security Council. I am convinced that under your guidance this meeting at the ministerial level will proceed smoothly. I should also like to take this opportunity to pay a tribute to Mr. Javier Perez de Cuellar, Secretary-General of the United Nations. He has made commendable efforts to enhance the role of this world Organisation in safeguarding peace, promoting development and strengthening co-operation. It is the Chinese Government’s consistent position that relations between States should be established on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and that the independence , sovereignty ana territorial integrity of all countries should be fully respected. In international relations China always opposes armed invasion ana annexation of one sovereign State by another and advocates that disputes between States should be resolved through peaceful dialogue and friendly consultation without resorting to force. Based on those principled positions, China has voted in favour of Security Council resolution 660 (1990) and all subsequent relevant resolutions, including resolution 670 (1990), which has just been adopted, with a view to safeguarding the basic norms governing international relations and restoring peace and security in the Gulf region. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a statement from the Chinese representative to the United Nations Security Council, discussing the situation in the Gulf region and the actions taken by the Security Council. The text does not mention economic development, natural resources, environment, agriculture, forestry, fishing, industry, transport, communication, health, education, employment, humanitarian aid, or culture. The focus is on international relations, peace, and security, which suggests that the category should be related to these themes.
