  1. “African security and prosperity is essential both for Africans and the whole world. Lastly, I should like to add a personal note by saying that I am very happy to be able to mark my final intervention in the Security Council with a statement on Africa, as it is very close to my country and own heart.”

  2. “At the same time, we need to ensure that any such financing solutions do not have a negative impact on any other key areas, such as financing African development. Conflict prevention and sustaining peace must remain the key priorities. While sparing no effort in addressing the multidimensional challenges with regard to peace and security that the African continent faces, there should be a determined commitment to an integrated and systemic approach to long-lasting peace. The international community should focus on helping develop strong and sustainable national and local institutions, and cementing democracy, the rule of law, respect for human rights and security for its citizens. It is therefore essential that Africa remains a top priority at the United Nations, namely, here in the Security Council.”

  3. “While it is paramount that the African Union carries on with its efforts in capacity-building in the areas of peace and security, we must acknowledge that the current level of international support for African- led multinational peace and security programmes is not enough. The way forward will have to involve the diversification of funding. We believe that positive steps in that direction include the establishment of the African Peace Fund and Mr. Kaberuka's report, as well as the report of the Secretary-General (S/2017/454) on options for authorizing and supporting African Union peace and support operations. Any new financing models should be predictable and sustainable, thereby ensuring lasting funds for the foreseeable future.”

  4. “Portugal is deeply committed to the promotion of peace and security in Africa and, in that regard, to working closely with the United Nations, the African Union and subregional organizations. We are currently participating in the peacekeeping operations in the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali and in the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic. At the EU level, we are also engaged in the important areas of training and capacitating, namely, in the European Union training missions in Somalia, Mali and the Central African Republic, and in the European Union capacity- building missions in Mali and the Niger. We are firmly committed to continuing to do so.”

  5. “In that regard, we believe that it is crucial to effectively support the work of the African Union and the regional economic communities alongside efforts at the national and the community levels. Moreover, it is necessary to contemplate new cooperation dynamics between the African Union and the United Nations, as well as with other relevant partners. We welcome the steps already taken in that direction, as exemplified most recently by resolution 2320 (2016) and the Joint United Nations-African Union Framework for an Enhanced Partnership in Peace and Security, signed in April. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the personal engagement of Secretary-General Guterres in that pursuit.”

  6. “In addition to a number of demographic challenges - such as the large and increasing number of young people, who are often unemployed, and a staggering number of internally displaced people and refugees - the fact is that the instability in Africa is being fuelled by a variety of complex factors, such as terrorism and the proliferation of violent extremism, piracy, economic hardship, social and food insecurity and political unpredictabability. Those are threats to international peace and security, thereby requiring a strong and coordinated response at all levels whereby the intrinsic and mutually reinforcing relationship between peace and security and sustainable development must be borne in mind. Tackling those issues is as important for Africa's prosperity as it is for the its security.”

  7. “I thank you, Sir, for convening this very timely and relevant open debate. It is with great satisfaction that I note the increasing number of Security Council meetings and respective outcomes on the important topic of peace and security in Africa, which is of concern to us all. My statement is aligned with the one delivered earlier by the observer of the European Union (EU), but I would like to add some additional remarks in my national capacity. The growing number of challenges that the African continentfaces-fromsecuritytodevelopment-should be addressed through international cooperation, while respecting both national and regional ownership.”
