“The fact that millions of Venezuelans are seeking refuge across the border shows that Venezuela is facing serious conditions. According to data provided by United Nations agencies, more than 3 million Venezuelans have left the country. This situation should not be left unattended. The safety and prosperity of the people of Venezuela are at stake and should be prioritized. Indonesia hopes that today's meeting ofthe Security Council could make it its main priority calling on all parties to exercise maximum restraint in order to avoid the escalation of tensions and further exacerbation of the situation. The Council must also encourage the promotion of a political solution involving all the relevant stakeholders to conduct a national dialogue through a credible, transparent and democratic process.”

“First of all, I would like to welcome the Ministers present with us today in the Chamber. I would also like to thank Under-Secretary- General DiCarlo for her briefing. Indonesia abstained in the voting based on the following considerations. First, we believe that today's briefing should be considered under a different agenda item, namely, the agenda item "Cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations in maintaining international peace and security". Secondly, Indonesia has always been consistent in upholding and respecting the principles of non-interference, sovereignty and the territorial integrity of all countries, including Venezuela. But at the same time, we are also cognizant of the fact that the humanitarian situation in Venezuela is of concern and requires proper attention.”

“An improvement of their economic and social condition is essential to ensuring a better quality of life for them, including access to basic needs. Economic reform must be linked to political and security reform. In conclusion, the Council must bring its full weight to bear on the various national and external actors to ensure that the conflict in Libya is resolved and that peace and security return to the country. Libya, too, can and must prosper within a democracy, without negative external interference and in full accordance with the wishes of its people. At the end of the day, Libya shall be the master of its own destiny.”

“We must also fully support UNSMIL efforts and take concerted action. Thirdly, Indonesia emphasizes development along with human rights, transitional justice and the rule of law. Those are important elements to bring Libya to normalcy. While acknowledging the vital role of various United Nations agencies and other regional and international entities, we call for providing Libya with greater assistance in capacity-building in those and other priority fields. We must also prioritize our actions to help young people and women. Listening to their voices and involving them in national decision-making would further engage them in building and abiding by a collective national vision for peace and progress.”

“While no effort should be spared by the Government of National Accord, all political groups and militias should also play a positive role to enable the Government to provide security for common Libyans, who have already gone through so much. The adverse security situation, with the presence of militias and terrorists, including the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, will remain a serious challenge. We condemn any and all acts of terrorism. Clashes between armed groups based in Tripoli and adjoining areas in August 2018 also added to the concern. We concur with the few on the need for a holistic and comprehensive security strategy in support of restoring security in the whole country. We applaud the hard work by UNSMIL with regard to security and protection and to broker a ceasefire.”

“The holding of the national conference under auspices of the United Nations early this year will hopefully provide a good opportunity for the various Libyan political groups to set out their ideas and reinvigorate efforts on how the Libyan Political Agreement can best advance the political process towards free and fair national elections. Indonesia once again calls on all national and relevant external partners to fully play their part to help ensure that the United Nations action plan advances smoothly. Secondly, security needs to improve. The duality of power centres, coupled with fight over oil and other resources, has exacerbated the situation. Non-State armed groups have particularly thrived.”

“Having one national authoritative Government with a united army, security agencies and financial and economic institutions is crucial to stabilizing the country and preparing it for a democratic electoral process. All parties should intensify efforts and discard their narrow interests for the sake of the whole people of Libya. The key phrase here, once again, is national reconciliation. In that regard, we welcome the unity of the international community in support of the Palermo meeting, in particular in supporting the United Nations action plan.”

“Indonesia is deeply concerned by the condition of our Libyan brothers and sisters. Insecurity, fractured politics, violence and terrorism have taken too heavy a toll. Much has to be done but, learning from the past and fully embracing the Libyan Political Agreement, with a collective vision for peace and democracy, we believe success is very much possible. All national State and non-State actors, as well as regional and international actors, should direct their energies to that end. As the United Nations and others engage, Indonesia additionally underlines the following points. First, national reconciliation must be prioritized. Difficulties for the whole country will only increase if the centres of power based in Tripoli and the east work at cross purposes.”

“Like others, I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this important meeting today. I would also like to thank Mr. Ghassan Salame', Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), for his briefing. We commend him and the UNSMIL team for their tireless efforts to help enable peace, stability and humanitarian assistance in Libya. I also would like to thank Mr. Juergen Schulz for the periodic reporting on the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970, (2011) concerning Libya. We wish him well in the conduct of his duties. Libya - a beautiful mosaic with rich traditions from Berber, African, Turkish, Arab and many other cultures - with its proud people, has unfortunately suffered much.”

“Indonesia has demonstrated its commitment to contributing to peace and stability in Darfur, including through its long- standing contribution to UNAMID, which presently amounts to 477 peacekeepers. My delegation believes the improvement in security situation in Darfur paves the way for UNAMID's eventual exit in 2020, in line with resolution 2429 (2018).”

“In that regard, the international community should continue to render assistance to ensure that sustaining peace is achieved in Darfur. Thirdly, on the issue of sanctions, Indonesia has maintained a consistent view regarding their efficacy. Sanctions should be used as a last resort, with a clear, transparent and measurable timetable. Sanctions measures and applications must also be periodically evaluated, including against the backdrop of the latest situation on the ground. As I mentioned just now, economic development should also be considered in the context of sanctions efficacy. Indonesia stands ready to contribute to that discussion. I would like to conclude by commending the critical work of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID).”

“Capacity- building must continue to be extended to the Sudan, in line with the principles of national policies and priorities. Resource mobilization is key to supporting the transition to peacebuilding and development, while also addressing the root causes of the conflict and securing the continued implementation of the Doha Document for Peace. My delegation sees a potential role for the Peacebuilding Fund. We also welcome the proposal to hold a pledging conference for Darfur to ensure sufficient funds for the United Nations country team. Over the past few weeks, I have repeatedly stressed in my interventions that economic development is a key factor for ensuring stability, growth and lasting peace in countries.”

“My delegation is encouraged by the signing of a pre-negotiation agreement between the Sudanese Government and the Sudan Liberation Army-Minni Minawi faction and the Justice and Equality Movement last month in Berlin. Yet we also note with concern the presence of Darfuri armed groups, particularly with regard to their efforts to acquire financial and military capabilities. It is high time to effectively cut those groups off from their sources of financing. The international community needs to apply strong pressure on parties that continue to impede progress towards lasting peace and opt for war. Secondly, the improvement in the security situation reinforces the transition concept endorsed in resolution 2429 (2018) and enables us to focus on peacebuilding and development activities in Darfur.”

“Let me begin by thanking Ambassador Joanna Wronecka for her briefing on the activities of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1591 (2005), concerning the Sudan, over a 90-day reporting period. It was an excellent report and we listened closely. My statement today will focus on three issues, namely, the security situation, the transition to peacebuilding and, of course, sanctions. First, Indonesia welcomes the relatively stable security situation in Darfur, with the exception of intermittent clashes in Jebel Marra, as confirmed by the Secretary-General's latest report. We also welcome the Sudanese Government's efforts to promote the implementation of the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur, with the support of the international community.”

“The cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations must be enhanced to that effect, including with the members of the Group of Five for the Sahel. With regard to United Nations engagement in Mali, we welcome the development of an integrated strategic framework. We believe that considerations concerning any future engagement by the United Nations in Mali, including the possible adjustment of MINUSMA, should take into account Mali's national priorities and institutional capacities. We believe that this is important to ensure that the progress thus far achieved can be maintained, while ensuring the long-term stability of the country. Indonesia remains committed to playing a constructive role in the achievement of lasting peace and stability in Mali.”

“Economic development is in line with sustaining peace and that is an important step in helping Mali to become safe and secure. Thirdly, peace and stability in Mali have a direct impact on the rest of the region. That is evident given the cross-border nature of many issues, including the activities of armed groups, as well as illicit arms and drug trafficking. Therefore, it is our view that lasting peace and stability in Mali can be achieved only through strengthened cooperation among all countries of the region. It is equally important to support regional and subregional organizations, as they are better positioned to address regional peace and security issues.”

“It is also our view that State capacity should also be enhanced to ensure the presence of State authority in all areas, establish a safe environment for civilians and limit the influence of violent extremism and terrorism. Indonesia is also deeply concerned about the humanitarian and human rights conditions in Mali, which remain precarious and continue to deteriorate. Given the interlinkage of issues, we believe that it is of crucial importance to adopt a more integrated and comprehensive approach, including by addressing the root causes of conflict and security challenges in Mali. In that regard, assistance for development and economic recovery is much needed and we call on the international community to provide support to Mali's development agenda so as to enable it to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.”

“We pay tribute to and our prayers are with the peacekeepers who lost their lives, as well as those who continue to risk their lives on a daily basis, even as we speak. We in Indonesia take pride in having our peacekeepers on the ground to assist our brothers and sisters in Mali. In addition, it is important for the international community to enhance the capacities of Malian law enforcement, including police personnel, inter alia, through training and capacity-building. We appreciate efforts to promote technical assistance to the Malian specialized unit tasked with combating terrorism and transnational organized crime, as described in the report of the Secretary-General.”

“We cannot overstate the importance of a political process in achieving national reconciliation and reconstruction. We therefore hope that all parties will continue to show political will to ensure the implementation of the agreement within the specified timeline. Secondly, we remain concerned over the security situation in Mali, as detailed in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2018/ll74). We note with concern the continuous targeting of MINUSMA by asymmetrical attacks from armed groups, as stated in the Secretary General's report, as well as the increased use of incidents involving the use of improvised explosive devices. We view it to be of crucial importance to strengthen capacities, address equipment shortfalls and ensure the safety and security of United Nations personnel.”

“The establishment of interim administrations in northern Mali and the accelerated disarmament, demobilization, reintegration and integration process marked the good intentions of all signatory parties to deliver their obligations under the agreement. That aside, Indonesia believes that the pace of progress should be accelerated if the March 2019 deadline is to be achieved. Focus should be placed on key provisions, including the effective functioning of interim authorities, territorial and administrative restructuring, the operationalization of the Operational Coordination Mechanism and the development of the northern development zone. We took note of the postponement of legislative elections to 2019 and hope that the elections will proceed in a peaceful, inclusive, transparent and credible manner.”

“I would also like to thank Assistant-Secretary General Keita for her comprehensive briefing on the most recent situation in Mali, and I would also like to extend our appreciation to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), as well as to all MINUSMA personnel for their work in maintaining peace and stability in Mali. I furthermore welcome to the Chamber the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Mali, Her Excellency Ms. Kamissa Camara. In line with resolution 2423 (2018), allow me to highlight three pertinent points with regard to supporting the peace process and development in the country. First, Indonesia welcomes the progress achieved in the implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali.”

“As we are approaching the mandate renewal for MONUSCO, I would like to reiterate the importance of meaningful consultations with troop- and police-contributing countries and the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In conclusion, once again we look forward to a peaceful and prosperous Democratic Republic of the Congo. Peace is a luxury that the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have deserved for far too long. Ithink that it is our responsibility to ensure that they achieve peace at this time.”

“In that regard, I would like to commend the critical work of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), including its comprehensive approach to the protection of civilians, as well as support to disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes. Indonesia takes pride in being one of the largest troop-contributing countries to MONUSCO, with 1,039 personnel on the ground. We now have 27 female peacekeepers, who we hope will be able to contribute to community-building. That includes an 850-personnel rapidly deployable battalion, which was deployed in November to provide assistance in the elections. We will continue to support any effort to secure long-lasting peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

“The outbreak of Ebola has exacerbated pre-existing needs for international assistance. We express our solidarity to our Congolese brothers and sisters who are affected by Ebola, and commend the swift response of the World Health Organization in leading international efforts against one of the world's deadliest viruses. It is critical for the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the World Health Organization to have the support needed to prevent a further outbreak of Ebola. I should like to pay tribute to the important role of the African Union and the Southern African Development Community in helping the people of the Congo. We believe that neighbours know best and will be the first to assist.”

“For far too long, the country has suffered from recurring cycles of conflict, persistent violence and the loss oflife ofinnocent civilians. My delegation concurs with the view that the illegal exploitation and trade of natural resources are among the root causes of conflict in the region. The implementation of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region holds the key to building confidence among countries of the region and promoting lasting regional stability. Thirdly, we urge the international community to provide sustainable development and humanitarian assistance to the people in need in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Years of war and instability have left millions of Congolese in dire humanitarian situations and extreme poverty.”

“It is imperative now for all stakeholders to exercise maximum restraint in their actions and statements and to respect the democratic process of the election. It is incumbent on all of us to ensure a calm and stable environment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is for the Congolese now to seize that momentum to consolidate stability in the country and create an environment conducive to development. We should respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Secondly, with regard to the security situation, Indonesia is deeply concerned about the continued presence of armed groups in some parts of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Just two days ago, the Allied Democratic Forces attacked a military post in Beni, taking the lives of seven civilians and three soldiers.”

“The democratic experience is anything but easy. Elections are not an easy task, in particular in an area as large as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We have experience in elections in areas as large as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with remote areas to be covered. Covering an area with 75,000 polling stations is an enormous undertaking. Indonesia commends the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo for taking ownership and full financial responsibility of the elections, while demonstrating perseverance throughout the process. We are encouraged by the reports of high voter turnout - evidence of the commitment of the Congolese to the country's first democratic and peaceful transfer of power.”

My statement today focuses on three main issues: the elections, the security situation and the need for sustained international assistance. First, we would like to congratulate our Congolese brothers and sisters on the convening of the historic elections on 30 December 2018, which took place in a relatively calm and peaceful atmosphere, despite many challenges.”

“I was also glad to hear in the Special Representative's briefing just now that his Office is working closely with regional actors to strengthen the role of women in the region. We look forward to that. We also look forward the strategic review of UNOWAS in 2019 and hope that it will result in enhancing the Office's capacity to carry out its important mandate. In conclusion, I would also like to pay tribute to the many United Nations peacekeepers, Blue Helmets and personnel on the ground who have done a remarkable job and played an important role in fostering peace and stability in the region. We are also honoured that Indonesian peacekeepers are involved in that regard.”

“We also look forward to greater cooperation between the PBC and the Security Council in that regard. This brings me to my third and last point. Many of the security challenges in West Africa and the Sahel are cross-border and intertwined in nature. There is a pressing need for enhanced cooperation in the regional context. We should also work to forge greater cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations. We View the role of UNOWAS in partnership with Governments, regional and subregional organizations, as well as other international organizations, as crucial in supporting the implementation of the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel.”

“State presence and governance, development and social inclusion, employment and livelihoods, as well as environmental pressures, desertification and climate change, are areas that should be focused on. We are of the view that a holistic approach that encompasses the dimensions of peace and security, development and human rights is essential. In that regard, we underline the importance of economic development and call on the international community to support efforts in that area aimed at helping to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. We also acknowledge the role of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) in sustaining peace and peacebuilding efforts. Its focus on reconstruction and institution-building is very important for laying the foundations for sustainable development in the region.”

“We also note the increase in maritime threats and piracy off the coast of West Africa, which continue to pose a threat to peace, security and development in the region. Indonesia welcomes the leadership of the countries of West Africa and the Sahel in spearheading initiatives to address security challenges through the Multinational Joint Task Force and the Joint Force of the Group of Five for the Sahel (G-5 Sahel). Indonesia sees the need for continued support, particularly in capacity- building and predictable financing for the G-5 Sahel Joint Force. Yet as we have so often heard, a military- focused solution alone is not sufficient to address the deeper drivers of insecurity across the region. Security initiatives must be complemented by efforts to address the root causes of instability.”

“Secondly, we are deeply concerned about the continued threat posed by terrorist groups and criminal networks to security in West Africa and the Sahel, as highlighted in the Secretary-General's report. As the report suggests, the organizational capacities and reach of Violent extremist groups are increasingly sophisticated. There has also been an increase in the casualties inflicted on civilians and the military. It is therefore important that we further strengthen the collective response to combat terrorism and violent extremism. The threat posed by Boko Haram is still evident, as Mr. Chambas reports. Terrorism and violent extremism have affected the delivery of humanitarian assistance to people in dire need of help.”

“We believe that engagement by UNOWAS with Governments, civil societies and regional and subregional organizations is crucial to addressing both the immediate and the deeper causes of conflicts in the region. Having said that, allow me to highlight three pertinent points with regard to ensuring stability and sustained peace in West Africa and the Sahel. First, Indonesia welcomes the positive developments in West Africa and the Sahel, including elections, progress on national reconciliation and political dialogue in many parts of the region. We cannot overemphasize the importance of peaceful and transparent elections in laying the ground for the consolidation of democracy, good governance and Government effectiveness in delivering public services.”

“I would first like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this important meeting. I would also like to thank the Secretary- General for his report (S/2018/1175), which underlines the activities of the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS) and the progress of the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel and provides an update on the situation on the ground. I would also like to thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Mohamed Ibn Chambas for his insightful briefing to the Council. Indonesia supports and commends the work of UNOWAS in its good offices and preventive diplomacy in West Africa and the Sahel. We are of the view that, albeit relatively underpublicized, conflict prevention remains a central responsibility for the whole Organization, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.”

“In conclusion, it is our fervent hope that the positive momentum will be maintained and continued through the engagement of all parties in inclusive dialogue involving all relevant stakeholders, in particular to implement measures that build confidence for all. All parties need confidence, and we should ensure that the Stockholm Agreement is duly implemented and that progress is achieved in Al-Hudaydah. The peace that is attained needs to be replicated and multiplied across all of Yemen. I would reiterate what Mr. Griffiths mentioned in his briefing. Al-Hudaydah should not be the last stop: we should ensure that there is success there so that it can be reproduced in other parts of the country.”

“We would also like to emphasize that the safety and security of United Nations personnel is of paramount importance. Accordingly, it is very important to put in place safety measures and infrastructure prior to the establishment of the mission. It is crucial to have a full assessment of the situation on the ground. Thirdly, my delegation also regrets that the humanitarian situation in Yemen remains grave. We are hopeful that the current political solution under way will bring immediate relief and gradual improvement to the humanitarian situation. We hope that it will be possible for commercial activities and economic development to proceed unhindered, which would help to alleviate the suffering of the people. Concerted efforts by United Nations entities must continue to be geared towards humanitarian relief for the people of Yemen.”

“The mission will play an important role in monitoring the redeployment of forces from both parties to implement the ceasefire in the city of Al-Hudaydah and the ports. With this mission, we hope that humanitarian assistance can be delivered in a timely manner to the people of Yemen, which is in dire need of such assistance. The mission will also contribute to sustaining the political process launched by the Special Envoy last year. This is the heart of the Stockholm Agreement, and Indonesia stands ready to support any efforts aimed at alleviating Yemen's grave humanitarian crisis. We believe that a medical air bridge should be opened and that deliveries made unabated. We think that any efforts aimed at meeting the humanitarian needs of the people should be ensured.”

It is important that the Committee finalize the modalities for the redeployment of forces, including time frames, and identify a suitable and secure location and units for deployment. Consequently, the two-phased redeployment of forces envisioned in the Stockholm Agreement could be implemented immediately, thus providing critical access for the delivery of humanitarian necessities. Secondly, Indonesia welcomes the proposal to establish a United Nations mission to support the implementation of the agreement on the city of Al-Hudaydah and ports of Al-Hudaydah, Saleef and Ras Isa.”

“We should ensure that the Stockholm Agreement is followed up with further concrete action from the Council. What is most important is that the Council took immediate action to address the plight of the Yemeni people. As many have said, the people of Yemen have suffered for far too long from famine, disease and economic recession exacerbated by the armed conflict, as we heard from Mr. Lowcockjust now. In this context, my delegation wishes to support whatever action the Secretary-General would like to take to ensure that we address the situation appropriately. I would like to highlight several other points. First, we welcome the appointment of Major General Patrick Cammaert as the Chair of the Redeployment Coordination Committee.”

“As the last speaker before you take the floor, Mr. President, I can safely assume that all of us share the same views, namely, that, first of all, the situation is grave - it is dire - and that Yemen is in crisis and needs urgent action. In connection with that, there is a need for the Security Council to keep track of progress and monitor the implementation of the Stockholm Agreement. I appreciate the briefings that were given by Mr. Martin Griffiths and Mr. Mark Lowcock, which give us a clear understanding of what is happening on the ground. I also appreciate the fact that the Council unanimously adopted resolution 2451 (2018). As many have stated, the unanimous adoption of the resolution underlines the Council's unity on this issue. I think we should capitalize on this unity and move the ball forward.”

“Recognizing that each situation may warrant its own particular solution, we expect that the collective wisdom of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, the Fifth Committee and the Security Council will lead to a cogent answer. Thirdly, and as a final point, we should also innovatively explore the utilization of the near universal endorsement for the Action for Peacekeeping Declaration of Shared Commitments on United Nations Peacekeeping Operations to fill gaps in bolstering support for peacekeeping missions in Africa. All stakeholders should consider how to actualize their commitments under the Declaration in the specific contexts of peacekeeping missions in Africa. To conclude, Indonesia once again fully stands behind the United Nations-AU partnership to sustain peace, particularly by improving peacekeeping operations.”

We need to act upon that. Responding to the proposals of the High Representative for the AU Peace Fund, the Secretary- General's report pointed to five financial models and various decision-making options to support AU- initiated peace support operations.”

“Indonesia fully supports the AU Agenda 2063, with its key pillar ofa conflict-free Africa, as well as the five thematic priorities of the AU road map 2016-2020. The AU master road map of practical steps for Silencing the Guns in Africa by 2020 is also laudable. A successful outcome ofthose will significantly elevate people's well- being. Those mechanisms need to be fully supported by all relevant regional and international actors. Secondly, the question of how to strengthen peace and security in Africa cannot be answered without spelling out how the needed financial support will be provided. The commitment of African leaders to financing 25 per cent of the costs of AU peace support operations is a concrete sign of their resolve. It should be responded to befittingly.”

“The work of the African Union - as a strong and principled force for dialogue, peaceful resolution and cordial relations, with the promotion of constitutionalism, democracy, human rights and State building - is crucial. It is also welcome that the AU and United Nations are increasingly working better together. As vital as national ownership by African countries is, a robust partnership among them and the United Nations, along with other partners, to support peace and security on the continent, is essential. In that regard, we would like to welcome the worthy intention expressed by the Security Council and the AU Peace and Security Council to formulate common positions and recommendations on conflict areas in Africa.”

“The closure of the United Nations Mission in Liberia is certainly a clear example of such a development. I must say that I am happy, as the Ambassador of Indonesia to the United Nations, to see that three of our peacekeepers were among the last to leave Liberia after honourable service to Blue Helmet contingents and the people of Liberia. I am happy to see that the United Nations has been successful in that regard. The termination of United Nations sanctions against Eritrea last week was also another positive development that needs to be nurtured. Notwithstanding laudable advancements on the continent, many African countries confront serious conflict and governance issues.”

“We are in the final stages of sending an additional 1,000 Indonesian peacekeepers to our recent rapidly deployable battalion for deployment to the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and to our formed police unit to the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali. As a strong believer in the important role of female peacekeepers, particularly in winning over the hearts and minds of host communities, those two Indonesian contingents will also include a number of female personnel. We will continue to play a greater role in helping sustain peace efforts in Africa. We warmly welcome various positive developments in several African countries that are illustrated, inter alia, by the closure of United Nations missions or the adjustment of mission mandates.”

“The Partnership was reinvigorated in 2015, and it is currently manifested in numerous multifaceted support projects between Indonesia and Africa. At the same time, we are undertaking South-South and triangular projects and programmes whereby peace can be achieved through development, since we believe in the concept of sustaining peace. Peace and security in Africa are also among Indonesia's top priorities. That is being realized, among others, through Indonesia's contribution to eight United Nations peacekeeping missions in the African region, in which nearly 1,400 Indonesian troops and police are participating.”
