1. “The deliberation over the various options should also not preclude the complementary nature of both the international and regional approaches to piracy prosecution or the continuation of efforts to build the capacity of the States in the Gulf of Aden, which is listed in option 1 of the report. As noted in the report, that option has already achieved some success in that respect. We also encourage the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia to redouble its efforts at reconciliation to find lasting peace, security and stability in Somalia.”

2. “We will soon deploy a maritime patrol aircraft this year to assist in surveillance operations in the Gulf. Those efforts demonstrate our commitment to helping to ensure the security of key sea lanes. While these seaward operations by various countries have gone some way in helping to deter the threat of piracy in the Gulf of Aden, it is clear that a permanent solution will not be possible without addressing issues on land, such as the prosecution and imprisonment of captured pirates. In that connection, the Secretary-General's report on the options regarding the prosecution and imprisonment of pirates is timely (S/2010/394). Singapore is of the view that the international community should study which of the options outlined in the report are the most practical, cost-effective and time-efficient in terms of implementation.”

3. “As such, international and regional cooperation, carried out in accordance with international law, is necessary. As a major maritime nation, Singapore shares the concerns of the international community regarding the situation in the Gulf of Aden. We fully support the ongoing efforts by both the United Nations and the International Maritime Organization to address the piracy situation there. Aside from actively participating in the work of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, Singapore has also deployed military assets, including our landing ship tanks and Super Puma helicopters, to Combined Task Force 151 to help patrol the Gulf of Aden. This year, we were honoured to take command of Combined Task Force 151 from 20 January to 21 April.”

4. “The delegation of Singapore would like to express its sincere appreciation to the President of the Security Council for organizing this open debate on piracy off the coast of Somalia. Over the past few years, significant progress has been made by the international community in tackling the scourge of piracy in the Gulf of Aden and off the coast of Somalia. That demonstrates the important roles that user States and other stakeholders can play to complement the efforts of littoral States in combating piracy and ensuring the safe and secure transit of ships through key sea lanes. It also reflects the reality that no single State acting on its own has the necessary capacity to solve the complex security challenges that we face today.”
