联合国安理会对苏丹与南苏丹恢复谈判表示欢迎，但同时指出双方必须立即着手实施非洲国家联盟制定的和平计划。
星期一，中国常驻联合国代表、现任安理会主席李保东在一份声明中说，苏丹和南苏丹在满足联合国安理会三月决议方面的规定已经取得了进展，并表示边界暴力冲突已经减少。
李保东说，联合国安理会成员国强调，必须立即在苏丹和南苏丹边境建立安全机制，并说应当设立边界非军事区。
苏丹和南苏丹在非军事区的划分问题上意见分歧。非盟说，双方星期四在埃塞俄比亚恢复谈判时，设立非军事区将是紧要议题之一。
The United Nations Security Council has welcomed the resumption of negotiations between Sudan and South Sudan, but says the two sides must immediately work to implement a peace plan crafted by the African Union.
In a statement Monday, China’s ambassador to the U.N. and current Security Council President Li Baodong said the countries have made progress in meeting the requirements of a March Security Council resolution, and he noted a reduction in border violence.
He said Council members stressed the urgency of immediately establishing border security mechanisms and said a demilitarized border zone “shall be established.”
The two countries have failed to agree on a map for the demilitarized zone. The African Union says this “critical question” will be part of the agenda when negotiators resume discussions Thursday in Ethiopia.
