1. “I am constrained to take the floor once again at this late hour. In the interest of time, I will be brief. The representative of Pakistan made unwarranted remarks that symbolize nothing other than a Pavlovian response aimed at misusing any forum and every topic to propagate false and malicious propaganda against my country. The Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were, are and will always be an integral and inalienable part of India. That includes the areas that are under the illegal occupation of Pakistan. No amount of rhetoric or propaganda from any country can deny that fact. The only contribution that Pakistan can make is to stop State-sponsored terrorism. With regard to his other remarks, we will treat them with the contempt that they deserve.”

2. “We commend the efforts of MINUSMA in assisting the Malian authorities. MINUSMA remains one of the most challenging of the peacekeeping missions. It is therefore important that MINUSMA be provided with adequate resources to implement its mandate. We also call for better coordination between MINUSMA and Malian armed forces. India remains closely engaged with Mali in the sphere of development partnerships, which is reflected in such critical infrastructure projects as the ongoing construction of 393 kilometres of a high- voltage double-circuit transmission line from Bamako, Mali’s capital city, to Sikasso, the country’s second largest city. India is also assisting Mali in capacity- building through scholarships for higher-studies and professional-training programmes in India, including in defence- and security-related areas.”

3. “In that regard, noting the critical role of the Joint Force of the Group of Five for the Sahel, in coordination with MINUSMA in Mali and the Sahel, we reiterate our call for robust support to the Joint Force by the Council and the international community. A lasting solution can be achieved only through a Mali-owned and -led process that is considered by the people of Mali to be inclusive and representative. We continue to encourage dialogue between Mali and ECOWAS towards reaching an agreement at the earliest about an acceptable timeline for political transition and elections, leading to the return of the constitutional order. Such agreement will also set the scene for the lifting of sanctions against Mali, thus shielding the people of Mali from further impact and stabilizing Mali’s relations with its neighbours.”

4. “Mali’s challenges need to be addressed through a comprehensive approach, incorporating the implementation of the 2015 Peace Agreement in particular, along with political-electoral reforms and the strengthening of security institutions in order to be able to provide security to the Malian people amid the growing threat of terrorism in the region. The international community can ignore terrorism in Mali and the Sahel at its own peril. The genuine demands of national and regional authorities to undertake counter-offensive measures against armed and terrorist groups need to be addressed urgently.”

5. “The stakeholders in Mali have not yet reached an agreement on the modalities of, or any meaningful time frame for, the transition, despite the continuing engagement between the transitional authorities of Mali and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which is playing a key role in the process. The multidimensional nature of the challenges faced by Mali is rooted in the long-standing imbalances in its constitutional, administrative and security set-up that have been left largely unaddressed for decades. There cannot be a quick-fix solution for such a complex crisis.”

6. “The security situation in Mali, particularly in the northern and central regions, has remained grim, as terrorists belonging to local affiliates of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and Al-Qaida, such as the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara and Jama’a Nusrat ul-Islam waal-Muslimin, continue to target civilians, security forces and MINUSMA peacekeepers. The security challenges are likely to aggravate with the restructuring of the international security presence in Mali. We also note the reported recent advances made by the Malian armed forces against terrorists. The political and security situation in Mali saw no significant progress during the reporting period.”

7. “We strongly condemn those attacks and call upon the Malian authorities to bring the perpetrators of such heinous crimes to justice. Terrorists have been increasingly using asymmetrical means such as improvised explosive devices to target security forces and peacekeepers. MINUSMA has also recorded several instances of the use of drones by hostile elements to watch activities and movements of peacekeepers. We reiterate our call for the expeditious implementation of the provisions of resolution 2589 (2021), on protecting the protectors, adopted last year by the Council in order to enhance accountability for crimes against United Nations peacekeepers.”

8. “I would like to thank Mr. El-Ghassim Wane, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) for his briefing on the recent developments in Mali and the activities of MINUSMA in implementing its mandate. I also thank Ms. Bouaré Bintou Founé Samaké, President of Women in Law and Development in Africa in Mali, for her insights. At the outset, allow me to express our deepest condolences to the families of the two Egyptian peacekeepers who lost their lives in an attack on a MINUSMA convoy in Mopti on 7 March, as well as to the Government of Egypt. We also offer our condolences to the families of Malian security forces and civilians who were killed in several attacks during the reporting period.”
