  1. “We express our strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of the Central African Republic and recall the importance of the principles of non-interference, good neighbourliness and regional cooperation.”

  2. “The African Union and subregional organizations have also consistently called for lifting the arms embargo imposed on the Central African Republic so as to enable its armed forces to defend the country and protect its citizens. Those calls have been only partially heeded. Today we have met them in an important way. Let me conclude by reiterating Ghana’s strong support for the Central African Republic as it continues to implement its joint border management programmes, as well as security sector reform and disarmament, demobilization and reintegration. We also encourage the country to continue developing its capacity for enhanced weapon- and ammunition-management practices that prevent arms from slipping into the hands of unauthorized armed groups.”

  3. “We also believe that the removal of restrictions on the Forces armées centrafricaines and State civilian law enforcement institutions would permit the partners of the Central African Republic engaged in legitimate activities towards the restoration of peace and security in the country to do so without hindrance. We encourage regional and other States to support the Central African Republic in that regard. Ghana’s affirmative vote was in accordance with our long- held belief that sanctions on the Governments of sovereign countries should not exist in perpetuity, especially when the Government in question has continually demonstrated its commitment to meet the conditions for the lifting of sanctions in the face of considerable constraints.”

  4. “Despite our aspiration for a full lifting of the arms embargo throughout the entire territory of the Central African Republic, we voted in favour of the resolution because we believe that it represents a significant step towards satisfying the Central African Republic’s long- standing request for the complete removal of sanctions throughout its territory. Today, the arms embargo no longer applies to the Government of the Central African Republic, and this resolution represents an encouraging response to ensure that the authorities of the Central African Republic are better equipped to curb the scourge of armed violence and destabilizing activities being carried out by armed groups, which undermine the stability of the country.”

  5. “Let me begin by welcoming the presence of Her Excellency Ms. Sylvie Baipo Temon, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Francophonie and Central Africans Abroad of the Central African Republic. Ghana commends the delegation of France for its tireless efforts in achieving a broad consensus on the just adopted sanctions resolution 2693 (2023), concerning the Central African Republic. We also acknowledge the positive of our African colleagues on the Security Council — Gabon and Mozambique — in support of our common African cause during negotiations on the resolution.”
