  1. “We welcome his initiative to reform the Secretariat, so that he can better perform his functions particularly in conflict prevention and sustaining peace. Japanese diplomacy centres on being a proactive contributor to peace.

Japan pledges to serve as a responsible Council member and a dependable partner to the new Secretary-General in promoting international peace and stability.”

  2. “We look forward to his frequent presence at the Council's informal consultations. Japan would like to underline that United Nations reform is needed to sustain peace effectively. Institutional silos must be removed and coordination must be reinforced for a seamless and holistic approach to sustaining peace. This will involve not only increased efficiency and cohesion between the Department of Political Affairs, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and the Peacebuilding Support Office, but far greater coordination among actors across all three pillars of United Nations engagement. We are encouraged by his track record of reform at the Office ofthe United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and his promotion of the humanitarian-development nexus.”

  3. “Japan will continue to be a leader in institution-building - the backbone of sustainable peacebuilding. We listened to the statement of the Secretary- General carefully. We welcome his serious plan of action and look forward to discussing his initiatives further. We will provide our utmost support. We hope he will actively employ his good offices to address conflicts and disputes, including those in the Middle East region. We look forward to working closely with him in the Security Council. We also encourage his proactive use of situational awareness and horizon-scanning briefings as means to reinforce conflict prevention. We ask that he please make full use of his power to bring matters to the attention of the Security Council, pursuant to Article 99 of the Charter of the United Nations.”

  4. “In Mindanao, the Philippines, we have provided assistance to track-two dialogues, as well as track-one peace negotiations, based on this principle. Our official development assistance provided peace dividends by addressing poverty, high youth unemployment and social injustice on a preventive basis. We have also contributed $410 million to the United Nations Trust Fund for Human Security since its establishment in 1999. Japan has been consistently committed to peacebuilding and in particular to capacity- and institution-building. In Timor-Leste, Japan has supported State-building efforts through development assistance, as well as the dispatch of our self-defence forces and civilian police personnel. We have also exerted leadership as the Chair ofthe Working Group on Lessons Learned of the Peacebuilding Commission.”

  5. “However, it should also demonstrate results in conflict prevention - a far less costly endeavour - by making the best use of such tools as Security Council missions to the field. We would like to see a Security Council that is a leader not only in resolving conflicts, but also in preventing them. We must weave the concept of sustaining peace into every aspect of United Nations activities. Japan fully embraces this challenge. We believe that peace is a long-term process and our emphasis has always been on the comprehensiveness and seamlessness of our assistance. Human security is an important pillar of Japan's foreign policy. Based on this concept, Japan has consistently provided human-centred, comprehensive and preventive assistance through harmonized efforts with various aid bodies.”

  6. “I would like to begin by thanking you, Madam President, for organizing and personally presiding over this open debate with a very timely subject. I would also like to welcome Secretary- General Guterres to the Security Council. We thank the Secretary-General for sharing with us his determination today. We are very happy to have him as Secretary-General of the United Nations. He has our full support. During the past two years, various review processes have brought to our attention the importance of conflict prevention. Conflicts in Syria, Yemen and many parts of Africa demonstrate the cost of insufficient efforts in conflict prevention. The Security Council has a key responsibility in dealing with immediate conflicts.”
