“The 1540 Committee and its Group of Experts play an important role in advancing the implementation of the resolution, and they need to be supported to continue their important work ahead. While there has been progress in the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004), challenges still remain, as some Member States continue to need additional assistance to consolidate their national implementation capabilities. Implementation remains a long-term objective that requires continuous interaction and cooperation among States and between States and the Committee and its experts. All States in a position to provide assistance should continue to do so. Romania has provided technical assistance to countries in our region to help develop export-control legislation, and it is willing to continue to do so, upon request.”

“Resolution 1540 (2004) is widely recognized as complementing the multilateral non-proliferation regimes. Romania co-sponsored it and humanitarian actively supported its implementation by all States, including during its chairmanship of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) in 2004 and 2005. We recently reaffirmed our strong commitment by signing the joint statement on promoting full and universal implementation of Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004) at the third Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague. A decade after the adoption of resolution 1540 (2004), we are encouraged by the steady progress that Member States have reported in enacting national measures to implement its provisions.”

“I wish to thank the Republic of Korea for organizing this timely celebratory meeting and to congratulate you, Madam President, on your excellent stewardship both today and during your presidency of the Security Council . Romania fully aligns itself with the statement made earlier in this meeting by the observer of the European Union, but I would also like to underline a few points of national relevance. Romania's policy on promoting non-proliferation is an important part of its foreign and security policy. As a State party to the international non-proliferation regimes, Romania remains committed to contributing to regional and international security and stability by fully implementing its non-proliferation commitments and promoting transparency and responsibility in its export-control decisions.”

“In a world scarred by inequality, intolerance, conflict and terror, Romania will always be by the Organization's side in its tenacious and admirable efforts to strengthen international peace and security, and we will always find inspiration in the wisdom of Nicolae Titulescu, who said that diplomats are soldiers of peace whose will contains only one word - "continue".”

“Therefore, we have been an active part of multiple cooperation formats in our region, such as the South-East European Cooperation Process, currently under Romanian chairmanship. Convinced of the huge potential of regional cooperation, Romania made a substantive contribution during its previous term in the Security Council by promoting a resolution on the United Nations cooperation with regional organizations, within stabilizing and post-conflict reconstruction processes. Thus, resolution 1631 (2005), represents the first such document in the history of the United Nations dedicated to cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations. We continue to truly believe that such cooperation is one of the keys to building everlasting peace.”

“They include international economic interdependence, the common fight against prejudices, education for peace, and coordinated action leading to the eradication of the economic causes of conflict. Referring to causes that provoke and amplify tension internationally - causes that are still the same nowadays - he advocated that the world does not need a revision of treaties but a revision of its own mindset. How true that is, even today. Returning to the present time, Romania tries to follow the path opened by its illustrious diplomat. Our diplomacy constantly advocates, for instance, the advantages of regional cooperation, especially by building bridges of trust and pragmatic cooperation among neighbours.”

“In Titulescu's view, which has since then become Romania's View, the process of building sustainable peace needs to be based on a shared sense of security; to aim at achieving stability, while building mutual trust and knowledge among nations; and to include careful analysis of divergences and address them all. The accepted means for resolving conflicts must be only political and legal; the spirit of human solidarity must prevail over military strength. Titulescu strongly believed, as we all do in the Council today, that war could never be a solution to a conflict. According to him, there are a number of targets to be achieved in the quest for a permanent peace, and they are as pertinent today as they were in the 1930s.”

“Titulescu identified certain prerequisites for achieving sustainable peace that are still valid today. He said, first of all, that winners in war must forget their hatred and understand that all suffer because of war. Then, there is a need for all peoples to blend together, to see each other and to talk to each other about their common interests. Although primarily a reference to regional cooperation, this is a clear example of forward- thinking and a strong plea for the values that became the basis for the establishment of the United Nations.”

“We think of him first because a constant in Titulescu's activity was his fight for the preservation of stable borders through the maintenance of peace, for good relations between both large and small neighbouring States, for the respect of the sovereignty and equality of all nations, for collective security and for the prevention of aggression. In the early 1930s, realizing the dangers to his own country as well as to other States in Europe, of the rising extremist ideologies, Titulescu undertook prolific activity in the field of regional integration by signing treaties of friendship and non-aggression with other nations, primarily conceived to prevent any relapse into old conflicts. Even today, those documents are seen as milestones of cooperation among the countries and nations of the Balkans.”

“I thank you, Sir, for this timely debate and warmly congratulate you on your unsurprisingly excellent stewardship. Let me briefly touch upon the topic from our national perspective, which is in addition to the statement delivered by the observer of the European Union, with which Romania fully aligns itself. In this debate reflecting on the lessons learned from war and means for building perpetual peace, the first inspiring example that comes to a Romanian's mind is that of our most distinguished diplomat, Nicolae Titulescu. Besides playing a major role for his country during and after the First World War, which we commemorate today and this year, he played a leading role in the creation of the League of Nations in 1921, later becoming its only twice-elected President in 1930 and 1931.”
