  1. “Securing sufficient assistance to meet the needs identified through that process will contribute considerably to the implementation of the Strategy by Member States. I would also note that establishing a record of such achievements will increase the appreciation Member States feel to CTED for the work it is doing. The reform efforts launched by new Executive Director are taking CTED in the right direction, but it is essential that they produce tangible results. We therefore hope that under Mr. Smith CTED will continue the efforts, bearing in mind the urgency of the task.”

  2. “As chair of the G-8 this year, the Government of Japan intends to see that, as one of its highest priorities, the G-8 and its Counterterrorism Action Group (CTAG) grapple with the question of how to enhance cooperation with CTED. For instance, we would like to promote substantive discussions at CTAG meetings by strengthening information-sharing through New York and other channels and to pave the way to providing concrete capacity-building assistance in the area of counter-terrorism. Also, we would like to promote further utilization of CTAG in following up CTED visits to Member States. CTED has been engaged in visits to States and in drafting the preliminary implementation assessment.”

  3. “At the same time, it is important that we give ourselves sufficient opportunity to conduct reviews, through which we can monitor the activities of CTED in order to determine whether they are producing satisfactory results, in addition to discussing the need for any improvements in the working methods of the Directorate. The review of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, which was adopted by consensus in September 2006, is scheduled to take place in September this year. The work of the CTED is central to the implementation of the Strategy. In this context, we welcome the active participation of CTED in the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force and its working groups.”

  4. “Mr. Kodera (Japan) (spoke in Russian): At the outset, I would like to convey my gratitude to you, Mr. President, for organizing this open debate. (spoke in English) I would like first to express Japan's appreciation for the efforts that have been made to reform the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) since the inauguration of the new Executive Director, Mr. Michael Smith. I would also like to welcome the organizational plan, which has just been adopted. We support the extension of CTED's mandate through the end of 2010. We do so because we believe a medium- to long-term point of view is essential to the success of the coordination of technical assistance.”

  5. “Just to mention some of the recent dialogues, Japan's Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Masayoshi Hamada, visited Burundi at the end of October and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in early December, and the heads of State or Foreign Ministers of Tanzania, the Sudan, Rwanda, the Republic of the Congo and Burundi recently visited Japan. In each instance, we took the opportunity to reiterate the importance of stabilizing the region. In conclusion, I would like to reaffirm that it is Japan's intention to give all possible support to such efforts, so that lasting peace and stability in the Great Lakes region may be attained. We also look forward to further enhanced efforts by the Governments in the region towards that end, under the principle of ownership.”

  6. “In the light of the importance of the Great Lakes region to peace and stability in Africa as whole, my Government has placed special emphasis on providing assistance in such areas as disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, including the integration of child ex-combatants; demining; humanitarian aid, including food; the repatriation of refugees and internally displaced persons; and the reconstruction and development of communities. In order to contribute to the process of consolidating peace, we have made a special effort to provide assistance in such areas as economic development, including agriculture; social development, including sanitation and education; and capacity-building. In addition to economic assistance, Japan has been engaging in political dialogue with the countries concerned.”

  7. “In connection with the future engagement of the United Nations in the Great Lakes region, I would like to note that the Peacebuilding Commission has already begun to address the case of Burundi as its first country-specific activity. In the implementation of the Pact, good coordination and cooperation with the Peacebuilding Commission is also needed. As the consolidation of peace is a major pillar of the TICAD process, since 2003 Japan has extended assistance to Africa amounting to over $400 million.”

  8. “Allow me also to recall that the orderly holding of democratic elections in Burundi and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo played a significant role in the successful conclusion of the Summit. We welcome the establishment of the regional follow-up mechanism. It was decided that the Conference Secretariat for the follow-up mechanism should be located in Bujumbura, Burundi, and Ambassador Liberata Muramura of Tanzania was nominated to serve as the Executive Secretary. Japan considers that the mandate of the Special Representative for the Great Lakes Region should be incorporated into the regional follow-up mechanism when the mechanism begins its functions.”

  9. “In February of this year, at Addis Ababa, Japan hosted the Conference on the Consolidation of Peace, in the framework of the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD), with co-organizers that included the United Nations. At the Conference, which was attended by more than 400 participants from 73 countries, the importance of ownership on the part of African countries and the need for a comprehensive and integrated approach in the consolidation of peace were reiterated. We welcome the Pact particularly because it also reflects what was discussed at the TICAD Conference. Japan applauds the considerable efforts made by all parties concerned. We also commend those who assisted the summit process, including the joint secretariat of the African Union and the United Nations, Mr. Fall and other international partners.”

  10. “Japan, as a member of the Group of Friends of the Great Lakes Region, welcomes the fact that the Summit produced such a successful outcome. Let me briefly touch upon the Pact. The Pact includes a protocol on non-aggression and mutual defence in the Great Lakes region. As the protocol is a comprehensive security agreement covering the whole of the Great Lakes region, we consider it to be an epoch-making accomplishment. The Pact also includes protocols to promote democracy and good governance and to advance economic development and the local regional integration process, as well as to address social and humanitarian issues on a regional basis. I believe that the Pact will provide appropriate guidance to each of its States parties in their future efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.”

  11. “Mr. President, at the outset, I would like to extend my appreciation to you for convening today's debate. It is very timely, because the Second Summit of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region was successfully concluded just last Friday in Nairobi. I would also like to thank Mr. Ibrahima Fall, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes Region, and Ambassador Liberata Mulamula, Executive Secretary of the Great Lakes Conference Secretariat for updating us on the outcome of the Summit and on the process that led to its being convened. Despite the difficulties posed by the need to reschedule the meeting several times, the Second Summit was convened and the Pact on Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes Region was signed.”
