  1. “Japan will continue to appeal to the Sudanese parties to recognize that only though efforts to build mutual trust through a spirit of cooperation and partnership will the true foundation for lasting peace and a bright future for the Sudan be built. I would like to conclude by reiterating once again Japan's determination, as a long-standing and true friend of Africa, to continue its active support and engagement in the pursuit of peace and stability in the Sudan.”

  2. “The international community must continue to actively support the Sudan in its efforts to build peace. Since the signing of the CPA, Japan has extended assistance to the Sudan in the amount of approximately $440 million. For the referendums scheduled for early next year, we have disbursed approximately $8.17 million in aid to support the procurement of voting materials and voter education programmes, and are currently preparing to dispatch an observation team to monitor the Southern Sudan referendum. Japan will spare no effort in providing cooperation aimed at the achievement of peace and stability in the Sudan. The Security Council's unanimous message issued today at the ministerial level is of high importance.”

  3. “If progress is to be made in the dialogue, the continued assistance of the African Union, through the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel for Sudan, led by Chairman Mbeki, and the Intergovernmental Authority of Development (IGAD) is critical. In this context, I had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Mahboub Maalim, Executive Secretary of IGAD, on the occasion of his recent visit to Japan. In the months to come, it will also be necessary to give further consideration to the modalities of United Nations engagement in the Sudan. Peace cannot be achieved in the Sudan without stability in Darfur. We therefore strongly urge all parties to the conflict in Darfur to join the peace process. At the same time, it is important that the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur be enabled to pursue its mission.”

  4. “The most important task at this time is for the referendums to be conducted as scheduled on 9 January 2011 in a free and fair manner. The Security Council and the international community must diligently and attentively see this process through. In this context, the United Nations Mission in the Sudan, which is supporting the implementation of the Agreement, will play an important role. It is essential that all interested parties accept the results of the referendums, regardless of their outcome. In addition, the parties must be encouraged to make further progress in the dialogue between them.”

  5. “We listened to their statements concerning the very faithful implementation of the CPA and the organization of the referendum scheduled for January 2011, and I highly commend their commitment in that regard. The Sudan has endured the longest civil war in the recent history of Africa, and the situation represents one of the most urgent challenges facing the international community. The Sudan is also a unique case in which the United Nations and the AU are closely collaborating in peacekeeping. Achieving peace in the Sudan is thus an indispensable element in achieving peace and stability in the whole of Africa. If peace is to be achieved between the South and the North, it will be first and foremost necessary for the parties to advance the implementation of the CPA.”

  6. “Mr. Matsumoto (Japan) (spoke in Japanese; English interpretation provided by the delegation): At the outset, I would like to pay tribute to His Excellency The Right Honourable William Hague for convening this ministerial meeting in his capacity as President of the Security Council for the month of November. It is indeed timely for the Security Council to discuss the issue of the Sudan at this very critical juncture for the country. I would also like to welcome the efforts of the Secretary-General, United Nations staff and peacekeepers, His Excellency Mr. Thabo Mbeki, Chairman of the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel for Sudan, the African Union (AU) and the parties to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) to achieve peace and security in the Sudan.”
