1. “The growing violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo caused by the incursions into the country of former elements of the Mouvement du 23 mars and by clashes in the Kasai and Tanganyika regions, as well as the presence of illegal armed groups. These remain the chief threats to the security not only of the country but of the entire region. We hope that the recent priorities introduced into the mandate of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as well as the reforms of the Mission itself, will help to improve the security situation on the ground, especially in the light of the country's upcoming elections. The humanitarian situation on the ground is dire and closely tied to the area's political and security instability and prevailing lack of development.”

2. “That depends on the political will of the Governments of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi. We note the recent appointment of a new Prime Minister in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, it has led to a swift reaction from the opposition, and the consultations between President Kabila and the Rassemblement should therefore continue. Where Burundi is concerned, we believe it should continue its dialogue with the opposition through the good offices of the East African Community-led dialogue facilitator and with the broad engagement of the European Union and the United Nations.”

3. “We would like to thank Mr. Said Djinnit, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General, for his briefing today, as well as for his untiring commitment to seeing stability in the Great Lakes region. Kazakhstan commends the ongoing efforts of the signatory countries to implement the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Region, which is vital to achieving stability in the Great Lakes. We welcome the signatories' growing ownership of the efforts to implement the Framework and realize the ongoing reforms. Any prolongation of the political impasse in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi could turn the acute tensions into full-fledged conflict. Maintaining the momentum and positive dynamics of the current political processes will be crucial to stabilizing the situation in the region.”
