  1. Our position is that a truly business-like partnership between our countries will be an important factor in consolidating stability and security on the African continent. We are prepared to establish diplomatic relations with the Republic of South Sudan. We expect to hold substantive negotiations in that regard in the very near future. In conclusion, we would like to express our confidence that the leadership of South Sudan will successfully establish good neighbourly relations with the Republic of the Sudan and other African States, in keeping with the interests of maintaining and strengthening peace in Central and East Africa. The Russian Federation would like to see an overall normalization of the situation in that region, which has experienced a period of extended conflict and is gradually moving towards stabilization.

  2. We are also giving thought to additional economic incentives for the Republic of South Sudan, taking into account the fact that the division of a country is always quite painful and accompanied by a number of new domestic problems. This we know from our own historical experience. For its part, the Russian Federation intends to strengthen Russian-Sudanese cooperation in all areas, including the prevailing constructive and favourable atmosphere in our relationship. South Sudan's attainment of State sovereignty opens the way for the development of Russian-South Sudan relations on the basis of the principles of equitable dialogue and respect for the sovereignty of that country.

  3. Greater assistance on the part of the international community for nation-building in South Sudan will be required in order to create effective institutions of governance, counter growing internal threats and security challenges, address economic and social problems and establish an appropriate human rights regime. The United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan, established by the Security Council, will play an important role in helping the country to achieve stability. In that context, we are of the View that the Government of South Sudan has primary responsibility for strengthening peace in the country and for advancing it in terms of peacebuilding.

  4. We anticipate that in the new historical climate the leadership of both countries will shoulder their responsibility for the destiny and prosperity of their peoples and will reach a final solution to disputed issues politically, through the negotiation process. The arrangements reached in connection with the settlement of the future status of Abyei and the states of Blue Nile and Southern Kordofan should serve to strengthen the emerging positive momentum, and, to that end, the mediation efforts of the African Union must continue.

  5. Overall, the Sudanese parties were able to peacefully and in a civilized manner oversee the division of what was once the largest country in Africa. The leadership of the Sudan and South Sudan have consistently demonstrated the political will necessary to address the critical disagreements between them on the difficult path towards the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. As a result, they were able to successfully implement most of the elements contained in that Agreement. We believe that the primary challenges in the context of nation-building in South Sudan are the outstanding issues in the context of relations between Khartoum and Juba, there being a great deal of baggage in that connection, and there remains also the contentious problem of the status of the Abyei region; these are now at the inter-State level.

  6. Mr. Bogdanov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): Allow me to congratulate His Excellency Vice-President Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon and, through him, the people of South Sudan on their proclamation of independence and the creation of an independent and sovereign State. With respect to the status of the State of South Sudan, Russia has steadfastly maintained its fundamental position. Well before the referendum, we had stated that we would support the sovereign will of the people of Southern Sudan. Given the complexity of the matter, Russia refrained from bringing any pressure to bear on either of the parties, taking the view that the destiny of the country should be determined by its own people. The Russian Federation has declared its recognition of this new State - the Republic of South Sudan.
