  1. “They should not have a negative effect on the ability of countries to resist organized crime and terrorism or form effective security institutions, and neither should they worsen humanitarian situations. Our country intends to further develop cooperation on a basis of equality with African partners, based on the decisions of the first ever Russia-Africa summit, which was held in the autumn of 2019. We look forward to continuing that work during the second such summit, to be held on the African continent next year.”

  2. “We are ready to share our experience on anti-terrorism issues with our African partners in order to implement projects aimed at increasing African countries’ potential ability to combat the threats of terrorism and extremism. In addition, resolving the problem of the continuing illegal unilateral sanctions on some African States would also help to improve United Nations cooperation with African countries. Such measures have only continued to expand in the past few years, undermining these countries’ ability to deal with growing challenges and threats, including the coronavirus pandemic. We have always advocated for reviewing the sanctions regimes introduced through the Security Council in a timely way.”

  3. “We believe that the African States are justified in raising the issue of the provision by the United Nations of material and financial assistance for their efforts to maintain international peace and security. We look forward to an agreement on a common African position on the modalities of financing African peacekeeping operations and using funds from the AU Peace Fund for that purpose. In our view, the growing threat of terrorism needs greater attention. Terrorist organizations continue to take advantage of the pandemic situation to strengthen their positions, and the continuing deterioration of the situation in the Sahara-Sahel region is particularly worrying in that regard.”

  4. “The innovative ways in which the two organizations have cooperated amid pandemic conditions also deserve full support. We believe that in order to ensure that the assistance from the United Nations in overcoming the challenges facing the African continent is more effective, it is important to further expand the cooperation between the two organizations. Productive cooperation between the Security Council and the AU’s Peace and Security Council is especially important. We look forward to productive work between the two Councils this year within the framework of the joint meetings to be held in mid-December in Addis Ababa, as well as the preparatory committee planned for those meetings in New York.”

  5. “It is founded on the Charter of the United Nations and on its Chapter VIII in particular. We welcome the progress that has been made in shaping the African Peace and Security Architecture, in which the African Union’s Peace and Security Council, the Continental Early Warning System and the African Standby Force play a central role. Africans are increasingly actively involved in the settlement of conflict situations on the continent, thereby proving the effectiveness of the principle of African solutions to African problems. Nor should we omit to mention the AU’s mediation efforts to resolve various crises that unfortunately continue to disturb the continent. We welcome the African Union’s decision to extend its flagship initiative on ending armed conflicts to 2030.”

  6. “Sir, we welcome your participation in today’s debate as President of the Security Council, and we also take note of the presence of high-ranking representatives of other countries at this video teleconference. We are grateful for the information and assessments provided by Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed and Mr. Donald Kaberuka, the High Representative for the Peace Fund of the African Union (AU). The Russian Federation supports the topic at the centre of today’s meeting. Indeed, the challenges that have gripped the world lately require all of us to reaffirm our previous commitments to the maintenance of peace and security in various regions, including the African continent. Our Organization’s partnership with the African Union continues to be a clear example of a successful one.”

  8. “We highly appreciate your constructive role during the negotiation process and your efforts to take into account key concerns of all members of the Security Council, including the references to the Basic Principles of Peacekeeping as well as the primacy of political solutions in conflict settlement, which remain imperative for the United Nations peacekeeping. We also support your approach, Sir, to highlight the importance of taking all the appropriate measures to enhance the safety and security of peacekeeping personnel. The resolution also calls for further enhancing the partnership between the United Nations and regional as well as subregional organizations in relation to the safety and security of peacekeepers.”
