  1. “We will also take various measures in other areas, such as countering violent extremism, countering terrorism financing and exercising appropriate immigration control, and we will pursue our strenuous efforts to contain the threat of terrorism. Let me conclude by saying that, at the end of today's meeting, we hope that the commitments and efforts of individual countries will be united in support of the new Iraqi Government, and that we will be able to send the strongest possible message to the world that we are absolutely determined to roll back ISIL.”

  2. “Efforts to strengthen governance take various forms, such as capacity- building in the public sector and the development of a domestic legal system. Those matters are exactly what Japan is good at. As a responsible member of the international community, Japan will continue to make active contributions to this great cause. It is essential to counter-terrorism off the flow of funds, weapons and personnel to the terrorist organizations in order to degrade their strength when we strive to effectively address the threat. The issue of foreign terrorist fighters is a serious challenge that could potentially spread the threat of terrorism worldwide. Japan will steadily implement relevant Security Council resolutions, in close coordination with other countries.”

  3. “Although it is difficult for Japan to make a military contribution, we will actively engage in humanitarian assistance and counter-terrorism measures. As part of our effort to address the challenges posed by ISIL, I would like to announce that Japan will provide $25.5 million in assistance, in addition to the $7.8 million that we have already disbursed. Providing emergency humanitarian assistance will not be sufficient when we try to prevent extremists from taking root in the region and to ensure the region's lasting stability. It is important to firmly assist Iraq and other neighbouring countries so that they can exercise effective governance, which needs to be underpinned by a stable economy and society.”

  4. “The Government of Japan firmly denounces any form of terrorism and strongly supports the fight against terrorism conducted by the Iraqi Government and other States. In order to effectively counter the threat of ISIL, it is imperative first and foremost to achieve political stability in Iraq. In that regard, I should like to welcome the recent establishment of the inclusive Government in Iraq. I hope that efforts towards national reconciliation and unity will make further strides under the able leadership of Prime Minister Al-Abadi. Japan has long contributed to the nation-building of Iraq in various areas, such as energy, infrastructure and health. We will continue to support the new Iraqi Government through such efforts.”

  5. “Mr. Sonoura (Japan) (spoke in Japanese; interpretation provided by the delegation): At the outset, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for this opportunity to set forth the position of the Government of Japan at this very important meeting. Today, the international community once again forms a united front to counter the threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), while also supporting the efforts made by the Iraqi Government. ISIL has unilaterally declared the establishment of its self-proclaimed State across existing national borders. The brutalities of ISIL pose a serious threat not only to the Middle East region but also to the very order of the international community. We fully share the sense of urgency that an immediate and united response is necessary.”
