Allow me to express the support of the Government for the initiative to change the size of the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Support Office in Guinea-Bissau with a view to adapting it to the current political context and to promote peacebuilding, the implementation of State reforms, support for social stabilization and the pursuit of the objectives of nation building.”

To that end, we hope we can always count on the active support of the international community. (spoke in French) I should like to end my statement on behalf of the Government by expressing our gratitude to the Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) for the important role it played in the mediation process to resolve the crisis, and to the ECOWAS Mission in Guinea Bissau for its presence and action in Guinea- Bissau.”

  4. “In spite of varying interpretations of the Agreement by some of the signatories, which has created difficulties in its implementation, the Government nonetheless respected all dialogue mechanisms for cooperation and defining arrangements for action with respect to the expected political and State reforms. I would like to inform the members of the Security Council that, in order to respect the constitutional time frame, the Prime Minister visited the Parliament personally, where he submitted the Government's programme to the Speaker of the National Assembly for approval. I would also like to underline that this act was preceded by a round table with the signatories of the Conakry Agreement in order to assess the political priorities and guidelines of the programme.”

  6. “In this context, we praise the outstanding efforts of the United Nations, particularly those of the Security Council, the Secretary-General and his Special Representative for our country, as well as the Guinea-Bissau configuration. We thank the Council for the attention paid to our country and the important contribution made to stabilization and political and social normalization processes in our society. On 16 November 2016, a new Prime Minister was appointed by presidential decree and a new Government was set up in accordance with the Bissau and Conakry road maps, which are the two instruments that at this time bind political stakeholders in the National Assembly and civil society and define the ways and means to end the crisis and foster political dialogue to shore up stability.”
