“With their involvement, such training efforts will be a sustainable way to share our skills and experience. With regard to training and capacity-building, I would like to emphasize the importance of the linkage between force generation and training and capacity-building. The Secretariat also needs to assess mission-specific needs for effective training and capacity-building. (spoke in French) I mentioned the need for collective and concrete actions by all stakeholders to tackle challenges in peacekeeping. Under the banner of a proactive contribution to peace, Japan will continue its concrete contributions to making peacekeeping more effective and more efficient in response to today"s challenges.”

“Taro Kono, said last September, the training will be provided to countries in the Indo- Pacific region given that more than 30 per cent of peacekeepers are from that region (see S/PV.8051). Moreover, medical capabilities are essential to safety and security. I echo the Cruz report in that regard. Japan has already supported the United Nations in the standardization of buddy-aid training and will support the training of medical personnel in Africa under the triangular partnership project. Resolution 2378 (2017) and the corresponding letter to the Secretary-General (S/2017/766) emphasize the importance of effective and efficient training and capacity-building. The triangular partnership enables role-sharing among Member States to develop capable peacekeepers. Japan strongly encourages Member States to participate in the partnership.”

“Furthermore, with the participation of Brazil and Switzerland, Japan has supported the capacity-building of United Nations peacekeepers under the triangular partnership project of the United Nations, troop-contributing countries and supporting Member States. As part of that project, since 2015 Japan has provided training in Kenya on the operation and maintenance of heavy engineering equipment to 130 future peacekeeping engineers from five African countries. Engineering is a critically important enabler for the security of personnel by improving the physical security and mobility of peacekeeping missions. The triangular partnership project will be enhanced and expanded to other regions and capabilities. As our Foreign Minister, Mr.”

“(spoke in English) Japan also stresses that political efforts are of the utmost importance for resolving conflicts, as demonstrated by resolution 2406 (2018), which renewed the mandate of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, clearly emphasizing the importance of supporting the peace process as the Mission's mandate. In order for United Nations peacekeeping operations to implement their mandates while ensuring the safety and security of their staff in today's complex operational environments, peacekeepers must be sufficiently equipped and trained. Since 2008, Japan has supported peacekeeping centres in 13 African countries.”

“Mr. Noke (Japan) (spoke in French): Allow me first of all to thank the Netherlands presidency for its initiative in organizing this timely open debate today following the report of the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations (see S/2015/446), various high-level meetings of Member States and discussions in the Security Council, including the adoption of resolution 2378 (2017). My Government appreciates the efforts of the Secretary-General to ensure that peacekeeping missions can implement their mandates more effectively and continues to support the various United Nations actions, such as improving the security of peacekeepers, the protection of civilians and the role of women. In that regard, Japan associates itself with the activities and statements of the Group of Friends to which it belongs.”
