  1. “The transition phase should be a period during which the authorities of Guinea-Bissau are be able, through a permanent dialogue with the United Nations, to benefit more from the experience accumulated by the country team on the ground. This new form of cooperation must extend to all agencies, bodies, funds and programmes, in order to consolidate the gains already made in the areas I mentioned, and thereby enable our country, Guinea-Bissau, to create the conditions for harmonious, sustained and sustainable development in a climate of peace, security and lasting political stability. The meeting rose at 10.30 am.”

  2. “With regard to the latter, which remains vital, I would like to underline the important contribution of UNIOGBIS to the preparation and the realization of the work that led to the signing by the political actors and civil society of a stability pact and code of conduct in View of the legislative elections scheduled for 10 March. We are in a process. It is therefore a question of continuing and deepening the reflection, with a view to enabling Guinea-Bissau to take ownership of the new, more dynamic, more effective and less costly approach to cooperation with the United Nations system as a whole. We hope that all the steps leading up to the closure of UNIOGBIS in 2020 will be completed according to the established plan.”

  3. “This is also the time and place to pay tribute, on behalf of my country's highest authorities, to His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari of the Federal Republic ofNigeria and His Excellency President Alpha Conde' of the Republic of Guinea, as well as to our subregional organization, the Economic Community of West African States, and all its leaders, to which we are grateful for their crucial role in maintaining peace and stability in Guinea Bissau. The active presence of our partners in Guinea- Bissau has greatly contributed to initiating several reforms, particularly in the areas of defence, security, justice, the rule of law, gender equality and the promotion of national reconciliation.”

  4. “Since the opening of the United Nations Office in Guinea-Bissau in 1999, our country has experienced recurring political instability, which sometimes makes it difficult for some to illustrate the achievements of the United Nations in Guinea-Bissau. In that regard, we would like to reassure the members of the Security Council and the international community in general by emphatically saying that the presence of UNIOGBIS in our country has been of great value. We have witnessed and benefited during all the years from the constructive engagement of the different teams that have come to our country, as well as from the important role played by the successive Special Representatives of the Secretary-General. I would like, here and now, to pay tribute to them and thank them very sincerely on behalf of my country.”

  5. “Resolution 2458 (2019), which the Council just adopted, follows the recommendations of the Secretary- General for the reconfiguration of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea Bissau, the restructuring of the United Nations presence in our country and a new hierarchy of tasks. The changes and other structural adaptations and way of functioning set out are truly a new approach based on the experiences of the past and the reality on the ground. The restructuring clearly responds to a major concern for rationalization and the need for a greater impact on the course of events, including a real impact on the population and the socioeconomic development of our country.”

  6. “We wanted to participate in this meeting of the Council because it marks, on the one hand, the last renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau (UNIOGBIS) in its current configuration, after almost 20 years of presence in our country, and, on the other hand, because we wanted to take this opportunity both to express our gratitude to the Security Council for its support during all those years and to reiterate to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres our great appreciation for his personal commitment on behalf of Guinea-Bissau and its people, as well as to assure him of our full support in carrying out the ongoing reforms of the United Nations system.”

  7. “Allow me to also express our gratitude to you, Sir, and to all the members of the Council for the visit to Bissau on 15 and 16 February. The Council's visit on the ground provided an opportunity for it to meet all the protagonists in the country's political life as well as members of civil society. In the course of its visit, which was certainly brief but nevertheless rich in lessons, the Council was received by our country's most senior officials, including in particular the President of the Republic, His Excellency Mr. Jose Mario Vaz, and Prime Minister Aristides Gomes, with whom members had frank and instructive exchanges.”

  8. “Mr. C6 (Guinea-Bissau) (spoke in French): As I begin my statement, Mr. President, I would like to reiterate the congratulations of Guinea-Bissau for the outstanding way in which your country, Equatorial Guinea, assumed the presidency ofthe Security Council during this particularly busy month of February. Your presidency, which ends today, will bear the hallmark of efficiency. Suffice it to mention the valuable and fruitful debate (see S/PV.8473) held yesterday at your initiative on cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations in silencing the guns in Africa by 2020. In addition, the Council unanimously adopted landmark resolution 2457 (2019), which will go down in the annals of relations between the African Union and the United Nations.”
