JAKARTA - In the midst of warming relations between China and western countries, sanctions are followed. The United Nations (UN) continues to carry out serious negotiations with China regarding unrestricted access to the Xinjiang region.

This was disclosed by the Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres in an interview with CBC on Sunday local time, reported by Reuters. This visit is important, to verify reports related to the persecution of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang.

"The visit of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, is currently being negotiated between the office of the High Commissioner and Chinese authorities", said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at the Rosemary Barton Live on CBC.

"I hope they will reach an agreement soon and that the human rights commissioner will be able to visit China without any limitation or restrictions", she added.

It is known, last month Bachelet said reports of arbitrary detention, persecution, sexual violence, and forced labor in Xinjiang required a thorough and independent assessment. In February, Bachelet said talks to arrange a visit had begun but no agreement had yet been reached.

The Chinese government denies any persecution and says that people from all ethnic Uighur Muslim ethnic groups in Xinjiang and the Tibetan region enjoy wide freedoms.

Last week, China received sanctions from several Western countries, including the United States, Britain, and the European Union regarding problems in Xinjiang.

Not wanting to remain silent, China retaliated by imposing sanctions on individuals and entities in the European Union, Britain, the United States, and Canada, overlies and hatred about the Xinjiang issue.
