  1. “Any process of any kind in Syria must respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country and involve the Syrians themselves as the main actors and protagonists, since it is the future of their own country that is at stake. There must be no imposed solutions.”

  2. “The war will end when we have put a halt to hostilities across the country and to terrorism. The fight against terrorism in Syria is an indispensable condition for advancing the process of a political solution. Syrians have the same right as everyone else to live free from terrorists in their own country. Equatorial Guinea does not believe that it is possible to make progress in the political process if the guns continue to roar, hundreds of innocent lives are annihilated time and again, and mass population displacements occur. I reiterate that there is no military solution to the war or an alternative to a political solution and that the improvement of relations between the Syrian parties regarding the release of prisoners and humanitarian aid is in the interest of the political process.”

  3. “Furthermore, we share the opinion that the Constitutional Committee must be governed in its work by the search for consensus and constructive interaction, without external interference and without outside deadlines, in order to reach a general agreement among its members that would allow for the broadest possible support among the Syrian people for its work. However, we must be aware that this is only a first step towards the political and peaceful settlement of the crisis, because after this first step we will still have 1,000 miles to go, since the Committee is not the crowning goal of all efforts to achieve a durable conflict resolution. We also believe that attempts to present the resolution of the conflict as depending only on the work of the Constitutional Committee represent the wrong approach.”

  4. “This is a truly important and hopeful moment as the outcome of the first agreement between the Syrian parties since the adoption of resolution 2254 (2015). We believe that it is now essential for the Committee to participate in serious and substantial discussions to achieve positive and tangible results that serve the interests and aspirations of the entire Syrian people. We welcome the high level of representation in the Committee of a broad segment of civil society, of various ethnic and religious groups and of different political movements, and we recall that their work must be undertaken in respect for the Charter of the United Nations, the relevant resolutions of the Security Council and such indisputable principles as respect for the unity, independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria.”

  5. “Mr. Esono Mbengono (Equatorial Guinea) (spoke in Spanish): It is always a pleasure for Equatorial Guinea to listen to the Special Envoy of the Secretary- General for Syria, Mr. Geir Pedersen, and above all a source of great satisfaction to hear of the important advances being made in the political process in Syria. We reiterate our thanks for his admirable commitment and thank Ms. Sabah Al Hallak for her briefing. Having welcomed the formation of the Constitutional Committee at our previous briefing (see S/PV.8645), the Government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea now welcomes the convening of the Committee's first meeting in Geneva on 30 October and the approval of the composition of the drafting group for the future Syrian constitution.”
