  1. “I would like to conclude by reaffirming Japan's determination to work to counter piracy and armed robbery at sea in the Gulf of Guinea, together with the international community, including the Security Council. Japan will also focus on the issue at the Sixth Tokyo International Conference on African Development, which this year will be held in Africa for the first time, in Kenya in August.”

  2. “In that regard, Japan is supporting projects for the implementation of the Yaounde Code of Conduct, making the largest contribution to the International Maritime Organization's West and Central Africa Maritime Security Trust Fund. In December, Japan also provided equipment and materials to the Regional Academy of Maritime Sciences and Technologies in Abidjan, with the aim of enhancing navigation technology and maritime safety capacity for its students, and thereby creating synergy with the assistance that France is providing to the Interregional Maritime Security Institute in C6te d'Ivoire. Japan is also considering providing assistance to enable an extraordinary African Union summit on maritime security and safety and development in Africa to be held in Lome in October.”

  3. “We believe that coastal countries should have primary responsibility for addressing issues in the Gulf of Guinea, including through such regional frameworks as the Yaounde' Code of Conduct Concerning the Repression of Piracy, Armed Robbery against Ships, and Illicit Maritime Activity in West and Central Africa. On the other hand, the funds and manpower are lacking for implementing the Code of Conduct and the maritime security strategies of the Economic Community of West African States and the Economic Community of Central African States. It is therefore important that the international community support the efforts of regional frameworks and countries to counter piracy and armed robbery at sea in the region.”

  4. “The Group of Seven Foreign Ministers, in their statement on maritime security issued earlier this month, expressed their determination to cooperate through capacity- building assistance in the area of maritime security and safety in order to help coastal States deal with their own vulnerabilities. They also recognized the importance of the framework of the G7++ Friends of the Gulf of Guinea, within which the countries concerned, together with international organizations and the shipping industry, exchange views about regional challenges and needs.”

  5. “The international community as a whole should address that issue. For its part, Japan has actively contributed to the maintenance and stability of maritime order, including through efforts to counter piracy and armed robbery in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore and off the coast of Somalia. We have seen a substantial drop in the number of piracy cases off the coast of Somalia recently; however, that of the Gulf of Guinea remains high. Resolutions 2018 (2011) and 2039 (2012) have played an important role in raising international awareness about the issue of piracy and armed robbery in the Gulf of Guinea. Since 2012, the Group of Seven (G-7) has stressed the importance of the issue.”

  6. “Japan highly appreciates the initiative taken by China, Angola and Senegal in convening this important meeting. I would also like to join others in thanking Mr. Taye-Brook Zerihoun, Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs, for his informative briefing. Japan also welcomes the adoption of the presidential statement on piracy and armed robbery at sea in the Gulf of Guinea (S/PRST/2016/4). Since ancient times, humankind has benefited from the many blessings that the sea provides and maritime transportation has connected the world. It is our significant common interest to maintain a maritime order based upon the universally recognized principles of international law. Piracy is a threat to the safety of sea lanes around the world, and countering piracy is an issue vital to all of us as we benefit from maritime trade.”
