  2. “At the United Nations peacekeeping ministerial meeting in Seoul last year, Korea also announced several pledges aimed at contributing to peace and security on the continent, with a particular focus on technology and medical capacity-building. They included the contribution of 16 MD-500 helicopters to be deployed to peacekeeping operations in Africa, and the launching of a United Nations smart-camp pilot project with the Republic of Korea contingent in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan. Korea is fully committed to faithfully implementing its pledges. In March, jointly with the AU, Korea hosted the fifth Korea-Africa Forum in Seoul at the ministerial level and together with the AU adopted the Seoul Declaration and Framework of Cooperation 2022-2026, which stipulates priority areas of cooperation between Korea and Africa.”

  3. “Thirdly, we would like to underline the importance of an inclusive approach to enable better recovery from the pandemic and ensure long-term and sustainable capacity-building. The voices of women, young people and other vulnerable and marginalized populations must be heard and included in efforts to build capacity at all levels. The Republic of Korea is deeply committed to contributing to capacity-building for sustaining peace in Africa. Korea has contributed more than $16 million to the African Union’s peace and security activities since 2016, including the deployment of a level 2 mobile hospital in Mali and the procurement of armoured personnel carriers for the African Union Mission in Somalia.”

  4. “All of the complex challenges in the region are closely interlinked and should be tackled in a holistic and whole-of-Government manner. In that regard, we would like to note the important role of the Peacebuilding Commission and the Peacebuilding Fund in promoting a coherent approach and addressing the root causes of conflicts. Secondly, my delegation emphasizes the importance of partnerships between national Governments and all other stakeholders, including the United Nations, as well as regional and subregional organizations. In particular, the role of the African Union (AU) and such subregional organizations as the Economic Community of West African States is crucial to development and sustaining peace, based on the principle of African ownership.”

  5. “I would like to commend you, Mr. President, for convening this timely debate. Let me also thank the briefers for their insightful remarks. Despite its huge potential for progress, Africa continues to face a multifaceted set of challenges. The impact of the pandemic and global food insecurity are further exacerbating an already dire situation in many parts of the region. In addressing those challenges, it is essential to build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions and better governance systems through capacity-building. Against that backdrop, I would like to highlight the following points. First, more emphasis should be given to an integrated approach to national institutions and capacity-building.”
