GENEVA, March 10 (Xinhua) -- A senior Chinese diplomat said here that China advocates that Myanmar and Bangladesh properly resolve the Rakhine State issue through dialogue and consultation and start the process of repatriating people at an early date.

Liu Hua, Special Representative for Human Rights of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, told the on-going 43rd session of the UN Human Rights Council on Monday that the international community should provide more constructive help to Myanmar and Bangladesh to create a favorable external environment for the two sides to implement bilateral repatriation agreements.

Liu pointed out that the international community should respect Myanmar's sovereignty and treat Myanmar's human rights progress in a comprehensive, impartial and objective manner.

On the issue of Myanmar, she said, the United Nations should take a fair and objective position, and related work should help promote the solution to the Rakhine state issue, not the contrary.

The Chinese diplomat also highlighted that China has always advocated that all countries should address human rights issues through constructive dialogue and cooperation, oppose politicization, selectivity, double standards, and confrontational practices, and does not support the practice of "naming and shaming" and publicly pressuring.
