  4. “This will include border control at international airports with cutting-edge technologies and for security maintenance, including criminal justice enforcement and the capacity-building of police forces. We need to break down silos in order to achieve a seamless transition ofpeacebuilding. The entire United Nations system, national Governments, civil society and all related actors need to work together over the long term. As a Foreign Minister who comes from Hiroshima, peace is particularly close to my heart. After the Second World War, Japan succeeded in rebuilding its institutions by learning from foreign countries while also maintaining the best parts of its traditional institutions. We will continue to reflect on our experience as we make further efforts for peacebuilding in Africa.”

  5. “In North Africa, Japan has supported the installation of high-tech surveillance cameras to improve security and border control. Japan also contributes to peacebuilding in Africa through expanded training of industry professionals and coordination between industry, Government and academia. In order to promote peacebuilding, enhanced cooperation for counter-terrorism is critical. To strengthen counter-terrorism capacity in Africa, I would like to announce here that Japan will implement the assistance of $120 million, including human resource development of 30,000 people, from 2016 to 2018. The purpose of this assistance is to strengthen capacity for information and data collection in Africa.”

  6. “In order to eradicate violence and terror, we need to train the police forces in communities. Japan has supported a police-training programme in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for more than 20,000 police officers. In addition, Japan will cooperate with the Asian-African Legal Consultative Organization to promote capacity- building for legal institutions. Thirdly, in order to sustain peace, we need to build trust in addition to institutions. In C6te d'Ivoire, Japan has supported strengthened capacity of the administrative services, with an eye towards social integration, in order to restore trust between administration and the people. Lastly, we need innovation in peacebuilding methods. There is ample room for expanded use of science and technology.”

  7. “Japan will continue to engage with Africa through the open process of TICAD, based on a broad partnership with the United Nations and other international bodies. Bearing in mind these three principles, let me outline four priority areas for Japan's peacebuilding efforts. First, the focus ofour support is institution-building in Africa, while also respecting the continent's diversity, unique characteristics and traditional institutions. In Chad, Japan has supported the enhanced administration of electoral institutions, as well as the design of systems to manage election-related disputes. In this context, it is useful to collaborate with regional organizations with a deep understanding of the local context. Secondly, we support capacity-building for the people who actually run the institutions.”

  8. “Now let me touch upon Japan's three principles on peacebuilding in Africa. First, there is an emphasis on people and the field. We move forward together with local populations, empowering the people on the ground. Secondly, we put emphasis on improving living standards through inclusive economic development, which serves as the basis of peace. The third principle is tolerance of diversity. While emphasizing universal values, Japan also respects the importance of ethnic diversity and local ownership, and is cautious not to rush to quick results. These principles are in line with the basic philosophy of the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) process: ownership and partnership. TICAD VI, which will be held in Kenya this August, will be a good opportunity to promote peacebuilding in Africa via development.”

  9. “In the light of the changes on the ground, UNMISS now focuses on the protection of civilians and other urgent tasks. We need to pool our collective wisdom in order to engage in institution-building in countries where confrontation persists. Much greater efforts and resources are needed to address situations once conflicts occur than to prevent situations from turning into conflicts or relapsing into conflicts. Whether we succeed in building national institutions conducive to peace and stability in Africa is enormously important. During this open debate, I would like to encourage representatives to focus on the significant role played by institution-building, particularly in conflict prevention. I look forward to pragmatic discussions that might show us the way forward as we consider lessons learned.”

  10. “I would also like to thank the Ministers from Angola, France, Malaysia and Senegal for their presence here today. At the outset, we might want to ask ourselves why we need to discuss peacebuilding in Africa. The answer is quite straightforward: Africa and its people possess a rich culture and traditions and a huge potential for future growth. But there are African countries that are suffering from conflicts, confrontations and terrorism. As we know, the Republic of South Sudan has been facing grave challenges. Japanese peacekeepers are working alongside international forces in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), which was originally mandated to support peace-consolidation efforts aimed at fostering State-building, with an emphasis on institution-building.”
