  1. “Mr. President, I would like to join other speakers in expressing our heartfelt sympathy to and solidarity with your country, Mozambique, as well as Malawi, and the people of those two countries, for the recent damage caused by Cyclone Freddy. Let me thank Special Envoy Grundberg and Assistant Secretary-General Msuya for their briefings. We are grateful for the efforts that they and their teams continue to make for the Yemeni people. I also thank the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 2140 (2014) for her briefing. Japan welcomes the ongoing engagement by the parties to the conflict and the countries of the region with a view to establishing a long-lasting peace.”

  3. “Japan and the EU are global strategic partners in support of the three pillars of the United Nations, as the High Representative mentioned — peace and security, sustainable development and human rights — as we share the fundamental values of democracy and freedom. We deeply appreciated the EU and its membership’s active participation in the open debate in the Security Council last month on the rule of law (see S/PV.9241) that Japan convened as President of the Council. In the midst of a tumultuous situation, the EU is playing an indispensable role for the international community through its solid and strong support for Ukraine and other regional partners.”

  4. “We appreciate that the EU has consistently demonstrated its leadership and commitment, garnering vital international attention and support on current issues on a global scale. For example, the EU’s Global Gateway initiative is important to the creation of sustainable and trustworthy connections for tackling the most pressing global challenges. We welcomed the announcement of a huge investment package at the EU- African Union and EU-Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summits last year. Japan is more than willing to work with the EU to promote international connectivity, as well as green and digital cooperation. Our security cooperation has also deepened. The EU and Japan have conducted more than 25 joint anti-piracy exercises in the Gulf of Aden.”

  5. “I would like to welcome His Excellency High Representative Borrell Fontelles in person to the Security Council and thank him for his detailed and insightful briefing. We also thank you, Mr. President, for hosting such an important meeting at an opportune moment and a time when we need cooperation and solidarity. Regional organizations play an indispensable and complementary role in enabling the Security Council to fulfil its primary responsibility for the maintenance of peace and security. Cooperation with regional organizations is built into the Charter of the United Nations, and as they enlarge and deepen their mandates, they become more and more important as partners. In that context, Japan values the strong cooperation between the European Union (EU) and the United Nations under the framework of Chapter VIII of the Charter.”

  6. “Japan has explained the matter to the international community in a highly transparent manner, based on scientific evidence, and will continue to do so. As one of the last speakers, Japan would once again like to thank and congratulate Malta for addressing a theme as important as sea level rise and its implications for international peace and security”

  7. “In the statements made earlier by the Chinese and Russian delegations, reference was made to the discharge into the sea of the water treated through the advanced liquid processing system at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. Japan will never approve the discharge of such water into the sea if it fails to meet regulatory standards, based on international standards. The International Atomic Energy Agency and international experts have been reviewing our efforts, and that review will continue. Japan will take appropriate measures before the commencement of the discharge, taking into account the observations of the review to be conducted prior to the discharge, and the concentration level of the water to be discharged will be far below the regulatory standard.”

  8. “Japan is determined to work continuously to promote and strengthen the rule of law in order to maintain international peace and security throughout its two-year term on the Security Council.”

  9. “In addition, it is important to take countermeasures against the financing of terrorism through emerging technologies, such as cryptoassets. Furthermore, the threat of terrorist attacks has increased, as the technology related to unmanned aircraft systems has improved. We will continue to work with the international community to address the threat of terrorism posed by emerging technologies. Such efforts are integral to maintaining the foundation of the free and open international order, based on the rule of law. The rule of law is a key principle in effective counter-terrorism, and upholding it is essential not only for direct ing counter-terrorism operations but also for addressing the root causes of terrorism through social and economic development assistance.”

  10. “Secondly, capacity-building for law enforcement officials is critical to preventing and effectively combating terrorism. Japan has provided capacity- building assistance through United Nations agencies in areas such as border control, prosecution, rehabilitation and reintegration and maritime security. Thirdly, the recent development of emerging technologies can enrich people’s lives, but, at the same time, it poses a threat to international peace and security. Like other representatives, we commend the leadership of India for its timely adoption of the Delhi Declaration in the Counter-Terrorism Committee last year. Terrorists and violent extremists have proved able to exploit the Internet to recruit and spread propaganda. Multi-stakeholder cooperation is necessary to effectively address that threat.”

  11. “As part of the global efforts on counter-terrorism, Japan places particular emphasis on the following three points: first, addressing the root causes of terrorism and violent extremism; secondly, building the capacity of law enforcement officials; and, thirdly, improving counter-terrorism capabilities, including for countering the threats of emerging technologies. First, terrorism is a serious threat to the survival, livelihood and dignity of its victims, as it targets freedom from fear, which is one of the main pillars of human security. On top of that, however, terrorism will not be eliminated in a society in which the other two elements of human security, namely, freedom from want and the right to live in dignity, are not ensured. Addressing the root causes, such as poverty and inequality, is an essential element of counter-terrorism.”

  12. “At the outset, I would like to thank Malta for having convened this meeting. I thank Under-Secretary-General Voronkov, Acting Executive Director Chen and Ms. Franziska Praxl, Director of Multilateral Relations for the Global Center on Cooperative Security, for their briefings. The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) remains a threat to international peace and security despite its continued losses in leadership. As pointed out in the Secretary-General’s report (S/2023/76), the activities of ISIL and its affiliates in the Middle East and Africa remain of deep concern. In particular, Japan is concerned about the activity of ISIL-Khorasan in Afghanistan. In addition, we agree with the view that it is of vital importance to take steps with regard to counter-terrorism in Africa.”
