  1. “Statesmanship is required to resolve the political impasse and to move towards greater political stability and socioeconomic development, as well as for the protection and promotion of the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of all Bissau-Guineans.”

  2. “We very much appreciate the briefing by Under- Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman on his recent visit to Guinea-Bissau, given during a meeting of the Guinea-Bissau country-specific configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission. For that and for his continued efforts, we also thank His Excellency Ambassador De Aguiar Patriota, Chair of the configuration. We reiterate our call to all national stakeholders, namely, the organs of sovereignty, the political parties and civil society, to commit to constructive and inclusive dialogue, with respect for the Constitution, democratic principles and the rule of law.”

  3. “The CPLP commends the concerted action of the international community and, in that regard, welcomes the decision by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Summit to renew the mandate of its Mission in Guinea-Bissau (ECOMIB). Its role in contributing to stability in Guinea-Bissau cannot be overstated. In that regard, we congratulate the European Union on its decision to provide funding assistance to ECOWAS. We are deeply concerned about the detrimental effects of an eventual withdrawal of ECOMIB before the security situation is guaranteed, and we urge international partners to consider ways by which we can continue to support peace and development in Guinea-Bissau.”

  4. “The member States of the CPLP remain deeply concerned about the continuing political impasse and the overall situation in Guinea-Bissau. Of particular concern are the impacts on the provision of basic services to the population and the suspension of crucial reforms. The strains are already being felt, particularly in the health and education systems and in the economic deprivation of Bissau-Guineans. We are deeply concerned that this could escalate into social tensions. We call on all the parties to engage in constructive dialogue and to create the conditions for the approval of the Government programme and a national budget, thereby exhibiting the necessary commitment towards long-term development in the country. That would lead to the much-needed lifting of the suspension on international cooperation aid.”

  5. “I would like to express our congratulations to you, Mr. President, on your presidency of the Security Council for the month of August, as well as to thank you for convening this meeting. I would also like to thank His Excellency Mr. Modibo Ibrahim Toure', Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Guinea-Bissau, for his briefing and for his efforts in assisting the country's authorities to resolve the crisis. I am honoured to address the Security Council on behalf of the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries (CPLP), whose members include Angola, Brazil, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, Portugal, Seo Tome and Principe and my own country, Timor-Leste. We welcome the two latest reports (S/2016/675 and S/2016/720) of the Secretary-General on Guinea- Bissau, whose recommendations we fully endorse.”
