United Nations Security Council html reviewed the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline leakage incident on the 230th. Geng Shuang, deputy representative of China to United Nations , said at the meeting that China expressed serious concern about the recent leakage of the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline and accompanied by strong underwater explosions.
Geng Shuang said that the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline is the main artery of European energy transportation, and the project provides important natural gas supply to 23 European countries. The leakage incident caused physical pipeline disruption, making Europe's energy supply shortage more prominent. Consumers in developing countries such as , , may have to bear the turmoil in the energy market and the rise in energy prices caused by this. The leakage is still continuing, and the impact of the incident on shipping routes and ecological environment in the relevant sea areas is still emerging. When Europe and the world are facing endless and difficult challenges, this is a heartbreaking disaster that we don’t want to see.
Geng Shuang said that the current information shows that the leakage was not an accident and was likely caused by intentional damage. If true, this would constitute an attack on transnational civil facilities and subsea pipelines, which would violate international law. All stakeholders believe that it is necessary to conduct an objective, impartial and professional investigation of the leak. The leak highlights the vulnerability of cross-border infrastructure. We are willing to work with all parties to maintain cross-border infrastructure security.
