  1. The action taken by the Council today highlights the progress that the Iraqi Government and people are making in taking responsibility for the stability and development of their country. Iraq will continue to require international support. We therefore call upon development partners and the international community to align their support with Iraq's priorities and programmes, particularly in building the capacities of its national institutions. In conclusion, Uganda commends the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and the staff of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq for their important work. We thank the delegation of the United States for spearheading the drafting of the resolutions and the presidential statement (S/PRST/2010/27) that we have just adopted.

  2. There are still challenges that Iraq will need to address, with the support of the international community, in order to consolidate the gains made so far. They include dealing with the threats posed by insecurity and terrorist attacks, ensuring the safe return of refugees and the resettlement of internally displaced persons and resolving disputed internal boundaries. It is essential for Iraqi leaders to work together in addressing the remaining challenges to ensure political stability, peace and development. We welcome the improved bilateral and regional relations because we are convinced that the stability of Iraq is linked to regional stability. We therefore encourage Iraq to strengthen cooperation with neighbouring countries based on a mutual desire to respond to security concerns and bolster economic cooperation.

  3. Uganda salutes Iraq for the progress made in putting in place successor arrangements for the Development Fund for Iraq and the International Advisory and Monitoring Board, which are expected to take effect by 31 December. It is important that the Government work steadfastly to resolve all outstanding issues during this last extension period. With regard to weapons of mass destruction, Uganda welcomes the progress made by Iraq in complying with non-proliferation and disarmament commitments. We encourage Iraq to ratify the additional protocol to its Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. We commend the Government of Iraq for its commitment to finalizing arrangements to provide appropriate funding for indemnification under the oil- for-food programme.

  4. That progress would not have been possible without the extraordinary courage and resilience of the Iraqi people, supported by its international partners. The United States has played a leading role in those efforts. We commend Iraq's political leaders and people for overcoming their political differences and reaching an inclusive power-sharing agreement in November. It is important that the Prime Minister form a Government expeditiously. That will facilitate national cohesion and foster democratic governance, which are essential for a stable, secure and prosperous Iraq. The outcomes of today's meeting are a clear testimony that Iraq's international standing has been restored to the status it had prior to the adoption of resolution 661 (1990).

  5. I thank Vice President Biden for organizing and presiding over this high-level meeting. I also thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his briefing, as well as Foreign Minister of Iraq Hoshyar Zebari for his good statement. The resolutions (resolutions 1956 (2010), 1957 (2010) and 1958 (2010)) that the Security Council has adopted today mark an important milestone for the future of Iraq. Uganda is convinced that the future stability and prosperity of Iraq lie in its Government and people taking full charge of their destiny. These resolutions affirm Iraq's readiness to take charge of its own affairs. Uganda welcomes the progress that Iraq has achieved in the political, security and economic spheres in spite of many challenges.
