  1. “In addition, it is important to enhance cooperation with the Al Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Committee, in accordance with the CTC's work programme for the twelfth 90-day period - the third quarter of this year. We hope that the CTED will establish a strong working attitude that will further strengthen its cooperative relationship with related organizations such as the Al Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Committee and concerned Member States. Although the CTC is going through a transitional period while it establishes the CTED, we would like to see the new organization begin full-scale operations as soon as possible. My Government wishes to cooperate in making that process a success. I would again like to express our appreciation for the dedication shown in this important period by Mr.”

  2. “It was the first cooperative programme of the Southeast Asia Regional Centre for Counter-Terrorism (SEARCCT) in Malaysia. Third, my Government has high expectations for the organizational plan, which is expected to be submitted to the CTC by the end of this month, as its implementation will strengthen the counter-terrorism function of the CTC. On the other hand, upon the establishment of the new structure, we request that the Executive Director of the CTED and the CTC create an efficient organization, one that avoids waste. We wish to reiterate that although Japan supports the revitalization of the CTC, that does not mean that expenditures for such purposes should be allowed to grow unrestrained. We also request that steps be taken to ensure transparency with regard to the sources of financing of the CTC's activities.”

  3. “Next, in relation to my first point - the importance of capacity-building - we need to put more effort into preventive measures. If the terrorists of today have a weakness, it is the routes they use to procure weapons and funds, which we can cut off. To do that, however, it is necessary to put in place preventive measures based on international cooperation. In that regard, it is becoming more important to raise standards with regard to the capabilities of States to combat terrorism by providing assistance for capacity-building. I wish to inform the Council that this month, together with the Malaysian Government, my Government hosted a seminar on the prevention of terrorism employing chemical weapons and managing crises in which they are used.”

  4. “We are placing particular priority on three areas: capacity- building of law-enforcement organizations, preventing the movement of terrorists across borders through stricter immigration control and promoting accession to counter-terrorism-related international treaties and protocols. We also intend to continue our cooperation with counter-terrorism measures through official development assistance and other means. For example, Japan recently decided to grant approximately $6.8 million to Indonesia in order to improve security at its airports and seaports. Also, in June this year my Government hosted the Heads of Asian Coast Guard Agencies Meeting in Tokyo with a View to building cooperative relations among agencies and enabling them to share information on maritime security in the Asian region.”

  5. “Through the Secure and Facilitated International Travel Initiative, announced at the Group of Eight (G-8) Summit Meeting in June this year, G-8 members will raise standards, modernize procedures and exchange information in order to deter threats, reduce costs and help to ensure the safe and efficient movement of passengers and cargo. Taking into account that such international cooperation is being undertaken, we think it would be worthwhile for the CTC also to consider setting up a forum for the CTC and other interested Member States to conduct a joint study on more effective counter-terrorism measures. My Government provides counter-terrorism assistance, especially to the countries of South-East Asia, and it intends to strengthen such efforts.”

  6. “Providing assistance to enhance a Member State's counter-terrorism capacity not only helps to prevent acts of terrorism on its territory and to contribute to its security and development, but also contributes to maintaining the security and prosperity of the neighbouring States and of the region as a whole. For recipient States, establishing counter-terrorism measures and preventing terrorism are also important preconditions for development. We appreciate the priority that the CTC places on technical assistance. We hope that the CTC might at the same time endeavour, through its planned visits, to promote actual, appropriate technical assistance projects. We also believe that it is important for Member States to share information on terrorism.”

  7. “Mr. Konuzin on assuming office as the new Chairman of the CTC and to thank him for his detailed presentation on the recent work of the CTC. I also would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Ambassador Ruperez on taking up the post of Executive Director of the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, (CTED) established in accordance with Security Council resolution 1535 (2004). There can never be any justification whatsoever for terrorism, which takes the lives of innocent people, and we expect the CTC, under its new Chairman, and the CTED, under its Executive Director, to provide the international community with the leadership it needs to respond with effective counter- terrorism measures. I would like to make three points. First, I wish to emphasize the importance of assistance for capacity-building.”
