"We must firmly reject anachronistic ideas such as a clash of civilizations, Cold War mentality and zero-sum game, forge a constructive partnership featuring non-alliance, non-confrontation and not targeting any third party, and work to set up a paradigm of a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness and justice, and win-win cooperation in a joint effort to build a community of shared future for mankind," said Ma.
"According to the Geneva Conventions, all parties to conflict, including the countries concerned, should assume responsibility for searching for missing persons in armed conflict, and are obligated to inform their families of their whereabouts and help separated families to reunite. The government of the country concerned bears the primary responsibility and plays an irreplaceable role," he added.
If conflict is unavoidable, the parties should take effective measures as soon as possible, when conditions allow, to prevent and reduce the disappearance of persons, said Ma.
The cases of large number of people going missing in armed conflict should be investigated "to hold those responsible accountable in line with domestic law and relevant international law," said the envoy.
"In this process, the judicial sovereignty of the countries concerned should be fully respected," he said.
The international community should actively provide "constructive assistance" to the countries concerned on the basis of respect for national sovereignty, he added.
