1. “Secondly, the United Nations, with its vast experience and expertise in peacebuilding and peacekeeping should provide support and assistance to Member States and regional organizations. Meanwhile, regional organizations have comparative advantages with their in-depth understanding of all aspects of conflict dynamics. Therefore, synergy among the United Nations and regional organizations should be strengthened, including through information-sharing, the exchange of experiences and dialogue facilitation and mediation, where appropriate. Thirdly, a comprehensive approach should be developed in the prevention and settlement of conflicts, given the interlinkage of all of the issues that we are dealing with in today's world.”

2. “We are pleased to see that the United Nations, including the Security Council, has attached greater importance to its ties with regional actors at all stages of conflict prevention and resolution. With a view to making that collaboration more effective, we would like to highlight the following points. First, the State has a crucial role in the maintenance of law and order, in addressing the root causes of conflict and in fully adhering to international law while conducting its relations with other countries. At the same time, the United Nations and regional organizations play a vital role in upholding and promoting the principles of international law that govern friendly relations among States.”

3. “I would like to express our appreciation to Cote d'Ivoire's presidency of the Security Council for organizing today's very important debate. We would also like to thank the Secretary-General, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission and the President of the Economic Community of West African States for their valuable insights. My delegation aligns itself with the statement delivered by the representative of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries. Vietnam shares the view of other Member States on the primary importance of conflict prevention in all peace processes and the need to strengthen the cooperation between and among the United Nations, regional and subregional organizations and States.”

4. “We face increasing and unprecedented threats in today's world. Peace and security are essential to the achievement of sustainable development. As partners in development, peace and security, women play an indispensable role at all stages of peace processes, from conflict prevention and resolution to post-conflict recovery and sustaining peace. In that regard, ASEAN renews its commitments and will work closely with other Member States, the United Nations and regional organizations to further advance the women and peace and security agenda at the global, regional and national levels.”

5. “ASEAN also gives high priority to strengthening collaboration and collective efforts with international and regional partners on promoting the role of women in building and sustaining peace. On that note, we welcome the fourth annual ASEAN-United Nations Regional Dialogue on Political-Security Cooperation, held under the theme "Women, Peace and Security - The Role of Women in the Prevention of Violent Extremism". In addition, ASEAN, in partnership with UN- Women, launched the ASEAN HeForShe campaign in conjunction with the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign. The campaign seeks to raise awareness about gender equality in the ASEAN region, promote a culture of respect for women and girls and mobilize the participation of men and boys as advocates for gender equality.”

6. “The ASEAN Declaration on the Gender-Responsive Implementation of the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 and the Sustainable Development Goals reflect our high-level political commitment to ensuring the realization of a people-oriented and people-centred ASEAN, where all women and girls are able to reach their fullest potential. To that end, ASEAN member States will intensify efforts to promote women's leadership and economic empowerment; eliminate gender-stereotyping and violence against women and protect and empower women in vulnerable situations. At the national level, ASEAN member States have made great efforts to increase public spending and investment in social services, notably on education and health, which serve to address the gender inequality gap and contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth in the region.”

7. “At the regional level, ASEAN is fully committed to the promotion of gender equality and women's empowerment as a means of contributing to long-lasting peace and prosperity. We have continued to adopt a wide range of frameworks in that regard. In 2017, ASEAN leaders adopted the Action Agenda on Mainstreaming Women's Economic Empowerment. Among other things, the Agenda will address the barriers that impede efforts to maximize women's full economic potential, increase women's representation and leadership roles in the workforce and encourage public and private-sector collaboration to create more opportunities for women in business. ASEAN attaches high importance to gender- mainstreaming across all three pillars, namely, the political-security, economic and socio-cultural pillars.”

8. “Violence, intimidation, discrimination and gender stereotypes, inter alia, impede women's engagement and contributions. In the face of that reality, Member States, United Nations entities, the relevant international and regional organizations and other stakeholders need to redouble their efforts to promote women's empowerment and increase women's involvement in economic and political spheres, particularly in decision-making processes. Such efforts may include, but are not limited to, awareness-raising, capacity-building, education, training and the exchange of best practices. Within the United Nations system, ASEAN looks forward to greater recruitment and promotion of women from developing countries, so that gender parity and equitable geographical representation can advance hand in hand.”

9. “In that statement we encouraged the integration of a gender perspective in all conflict prevention initiatives and strategies, which must ensure the full participation of women in peace processes as well as encourage the inclusion of the women and peace and security agenda in policies and programmes for the protection of women and girls from sexual and gender- based violence before, during and after armed conflict. That also includes the creation of greater and wider spaces for participation in peacebuilding and post- conflict reconstruction processes. While welcoming the positive progress achieved in the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda, we all see that challenges persist. Women continue to be excluded from, and underrepresented in, peacebuilding and negotiation processes.”

10. “ASEAN member States share the view that women's equal, full and effective participation is of great importance at all stages of peace processes, given their necessary role in the prevention and resolution of conflict, peacebuilding and peacekeeping, as embodied in resolution 1325 (2000) and many subsequent resolutions. In that regard, we are pleased to inform the Council that, inNovember 2017, ASEAN leaders adopted a joint statement on promoting women and peace and security in ASEAN.”

12. “The Security Council, with its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, should take prompt and effective action to seek peaceful and comprehensive solutions to the conflicts across the region. As a partner for sustainable peace, Viet Nam will continue its efforts to contribute to lasting peace and security in the Middle East.”

13. “The relevant United Nations resolutions, in particular Security Council resolutions 478 (1980) and 2334 (2016), must be fully implemented. With regard to the Syrian situation, Viet Nam welcomes recent positive developments, including the agreement by Israel, Syria and the United Nations to reopen the Quneitra crossing in the Golan Heights and the cooperation between Jordan and Syria to reopen the Jaber-Nasib border crossing. However, we remain concerned about tensions in Syria and call upon all parties to settle disputes through peaceful means. We support efforts to find a political solution in Syria based on the fundamental principles of international laws and the Charter of the United Nations, including the principle of respect for the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Syria.”

14. “Viet Nam reaffirms its unwavering support for the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people for their inalienable rights, including the right to self- determination and the establishment of an independent and sovereign State. We firmly believe that the only viable solution is to establish a Palestinian State on the basis ofthe pre-l967 borders, living side by side with the Israeli State in peace, security and mutual recognition. We urge all the parties concerned to strictly comply with international law, exercise maximum self- restraint, refrain from violence and foster a favourable environment for dialogue. We call on Israel to halt all settlement construction and take action to protect civilians and improve the living conditions of the Palestinian people in Gaza.”

15. “Cycles of negative developments have once again been hampering hopes for peaceful solutions to the conflicts in the region. We recognize the tireless efforts ofthe international community, including those of the United Nations, but we believe that much greater efforts are needed now. We therefore support all efforts by the United Nations, the Middle East Quartet, the League of Arab States and countries of the region to push forward the peace process for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with a view to achieving a just, comprehensive and lasting solution that ensures the legitimate interests of all the parties concerned, as well as peace and security for the Middle East. Concerted actions are now needed to resume direct and constructive talks between Israel and Palestine.”

16. “I thank the Bolivian presidency of the Security Council for convening this very important debate. I also thank Mr. Nickolay Mladenov, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, for his briefing. Viet Nam aligns itself with the statement delivered by the representative of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries. Viet Nam is deeply concerned about the ongoing complicated situation in the Middle East, particularly the long-protracted conflict between Israel and Palestine, and the situations in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Afghanistan. We share other Member States' great concern regarding the escalation of tensions two days ago and the deterioration of the humanitarian and economic situation in Gaza.”

17. “We highly appreciate the indispensable role and tireless efforts of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East to ease the suffering of the Palestinians. Viet Nam reaffirms its support for the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people for their inalienable rights, including the right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent and sovereign State. We reiterate our unwavering commitment to working with you, Mr. President, and all other Member States to end the conflict, thereby bringing sustainable peace and security to the region.”

18. “It is also crystal clear that the Security Council should take swift and unified action to put the peace process back on track by creating favourable conditions for the pursuit of constructive dialogues and negotiations between the parties concerned. Viet Nam has consistently supported the two-State solution, with a vision of Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace, security and mutual recognition within the pre-l967 borders. All solutions to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict must be in line with international law and the relevant United Nations resolutions, as well as the Madrid principles, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Quartet road map. We welcome all efforts and initiatives aiming at achieving a just, comprehensive and lasting solution, thereby ensuring the legitimate interests of both Israel and Palestine.”

19. “Despite the tireless efforts made for many years by the international community, including the United Nations and the Security Council, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains unresolved and has become even more complex, without any feasible and sustained political solution. We are deeply concerned about the situation on the ground and strongly condemn and oppose all acts of violence, including the excessive use of lethal force against civilians and critical civilian facilities. We therefore join Special Envoy Mladenov in urging the parties concerned to exercise self-restraint and refrain from any act that would escalate tensions. All settlement construction and blockade activity need to stop immediately, while special attention must be focused on protecting and improving Palestinian lives in Gaza.”

20. “At the outset, I would like to express my thanks to the Swedish presidency for convening this important open debate. I also thank Mr. Nickolay Mladenov for his updated briefing on the situation. Viet Nam aligns itself with the statement delivered earlier by the representative of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries. The current negative developments in the Middle East, particularly the recent deadly clashes and the dire humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, have put the whole region's security at risk and seriously imperilled the prospect of the two-State solution.”
