“I am pleased to report that, during his recent visit to Africa, Prime Minister Koizumi also announced additional humanitarian assistance amounting to $10 million. Our Government will continue to provide the maximum assistance possible to alleviate the humanitarian suffering in the region. Furthermore, as the relations between Chad and Sudan have a serious impact on the situation in Darfur, we also hope that both Governments will make utmost efforts to improve their relations by complying with and implementing the Tripoli Declaration. Let me conclude my statement by stressing once again Japan's continuing determination to extend assistance for the consolidation of peace in Darfur, and in Sudan as a whole, in light of the signing of the peace agreement.”

“For transition from AMIS to a United Nations peacekeeping mission in Darfur, the agreement of the Government of the Sudan is needed. Japan therefore commends the recent, more positive response of the Sudanese Government in this regard. We hope that a United Nations-African Union joint assessment mission will be undertaken without further delay. Japan expects that following the achievement of the peace agreement, consideration of the deployment of a Darfur peacekeeping operation will be accelerated. Japan is gravely concerned over the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Darfur since the beginning of this year. Two elements are indispensable in this matter. First is the cooperation of the Sudanese Government in facilitating humanitarian activities, and second is funding for those activities.”

“I therefore strongly hope that the Abuja peace agreement will be implemented as soon as possible with the strong commitment of the parties. I wish to take this opportunity to inform the Council that Prime Minister Koizumi of Japan just concluded a successful trip to Africa earlier this month. It was the first visit by the Japanese Prime Minister to African Union headquarters. While applauding the dedicated efforts by African peacekeepers, we fully recognize the need to strengthen the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) in order to improve the security situation in the region. During his trip, Prime Minister Koizumi announced further assistance for AMIS, amounting to approximately $8.7 million, to support its activities. We hope that this additional assistance will contribute to the strengthening of AMIS.”

“and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) to promptly join the agreement, and we urge all parties to sincerely commit themselves to implementing it. I myself paid a visit to Sudan in February of this year. Although it was a short stay, I visited Juba, spent a night in Rumbek in southern Sudan and observed with my own eyes the status of the implementation of the North-South Comprehensive Peace Agreement. My impression during the trip was that, despite various challenges, slow but steady progress had been made in the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement through well-coordinated efforts by the United Nations and other actors. If we can do this in the North-South process, why not in Darfur?”

“I wish to thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this important meeting and guiding our deliberations. Japan commends the Government of the Sudan and the Minnawi faction of the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) for their courageous decision to sign the Abuja peace agreement. I would like to pay tribute to the diplomatic efforts of the African Union, led by Chief Mediator Salim Salim, and of the heads of African States, including President Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of Congo and President Obasanjo of Nigeria, and international partners, particularly the United States and the United Kingdom. The Abuja peace agreement is a further step for the consolidation of peace in Darfur. We call on the remaining factions of the SLM.”
