1. “It is not enough for issues pertaining to our continent to constitute a significant portion of the Security Council’s agenda. The representation of African countries on the Security Council is also critical. If we are to ensure the continuity of discussions such as these and take full ownership of our development, Africa cannot be left out of decision-making processes. I would like to commend the significant progress made in strengthening the partnership between the United Nations and the African Union. We still have a long way to go, but together we will achieve much more. The meeting rose at 12.25 p.m.”

2. “While that approach is quick and effective, it needs sustainable funding to create a solid base from which multilateral forces can take over. The assistance measure recently provided under the African Peace Facility of the European Union in support of the deployment of the Rwanda Defence Force to Mozambique has been critical in ensuring that such bilateral interventions can be financially sustained. An effective cooperation framework between the United Nations and regional mechanisms should also prioritize post-conflict reconstruction, working hand in hand with communities. Ultimately, it is national unity and good governance that create the conditions for lasting peace. We have learned that from our own country’s tragic history.”

3. “On behalf of President Kagame, I would like to begin by thanking you, Mr. President, for the invitation to speak before the Security Council today. I also thank the briefers, especially the Secretary-General and the President of Comoros and Chairperson of the African Union. In Africa, terrorism and violent extremism are spreading at an alarming rate. That is a threat to everyone everywhere. Traditional peacekeeping missions alone have not proved effective enough to address the global challenge. With the support of the Security Council, we need more robust and pragmatic approaches, tailored to local contexts. Bilateral and regional interventions merit our attention. Under our bilateral mechanisms and at the request of both Governments, Rwanda has deployed troops to Mozambique and the Central African Republic.”
