UNITED NATIONS, June 21 (Xinhua) -- The international community should support Afghanistan in the field of security and increase assistance to prevent setbacks in the security situation, said a Chinese envoy on Tuesday.

Liu Jieyi, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, made the remarks at a Security Council meeting on the situation in Afghanistan. He emphasized that improvement of the security situation is the basis for Afghan stability.

Liu said the recent security situation in Afghanistan has taken a turn for the worse, and domestic armed clashes have been escalating with rising civilian casualties.

"We hope that the United Nations will do more in assessing the security situation in Afghanistan, promote cooperation between Afghanistan and regional countries in the fight against terrorism, drugs and cross-border crimes, and jointly create enabling conditions to improve the security situation in Afghanistan," Liu said.

On Monday, bomb attacks took place in in the Afghan capital of Kabul and in Badakhshan in the north of the country, killing at least 22 people.

"China strongly condemns the multiple terrorist attacks in Afghanistan," said Liu. "China firmly supports Afghanistan's efforts in fighting terrorism and will continue to provide assistance to Afghanistan to strengthen its security and capabilities."

Liu also noted that the promotion of economic and social development is a necessary condition for Afghan prosperity and stability.

He said the international community must support the Afghan government in stopping its economic downturn, promote comprehensive economic and social development, and strengthen regional cooperation in infrastructure, trade, and investment.

"China firmly supports Afghanistan's integration into regional cooperation," he said. "We will integrate the Belt and Road Initiative with Afghanistan's national transition and development strategy, and we will continue to contribute to Afghanistan's early attainment of sustainable peace and development."
