  1. “President, a fair account of our commitment to continue supporting the Central African Republic as an illustration of strong trilateral coordination and cooperation among the United Nations, the African Union and the European Union. I know the European leadership will remain engaged in the coming months, and I urge all partners to join our collective efforts.”

  2. “We are using various EU instruments to advise the Ministry of the Interior, the police and the gendarmerie. That is without prejudice to possible increased support in future in support of capacity development and the deployment of internal security forces. The European Union will also continue assisting the Central African Republic by strengthening the resilience of the population and of the State, while fully applying the approach linking relief, rehabilitation and development and the humanitarian-development nexus. The overall European Union development assistance for the Central African Republic for the period 2017- 2020 amounts to close to €500 million. I hope I have given you, Mr.”

  3. “Additionally, most of the needed laws, decrees and doctrines have been developed with the support of the European Union Training Mission strategic advice. About a third of the FACA leadership has gone through the Training Mission's programme. That is a testimony to the Training Mission's leading role in building the capacity of the FACA and in defence sector reform in general. European Union Mission activities also aim at facilitating the redeployment of FACA and the implementation of the national defence plan in Bouar. That is one of our priorities. In that regard, I would also like to stress the need for the mission to be able to work together with FACA and access all training premises in order to fulfil its mandate. That support to FACA in the military domain is complemented by EU support to the civilian security forces.”

  4. “Its multidimensional role will remain essential to contribute to further stabilization in the Central African Republic. It will be crucial that the Mission remain able to strengthen and expand the authority of the State throughout the territory of the Central African Republic. That will not be achieved without a further build-up and deployment of security forces into the regions. MINUSCA must be able to provide operational and logistical support to the deployed Forces armees centrafricaines (FACA), as recommended by the Secretary-General. In that vein, the European Union will continue its substantial engagement in the area of security. The mandate of the European Union Training Mission has been extended until September 2020. A third FACA battalion was successfully trained. A fourth battalion is currently being trained.”

  5. “In that regard, the intention of President Touadera to launch negotiations with the armed groups is positive. The process must remain a home-grown one. We stand ready to support all efforts in that direction. The decision to appoint a joint United Nations-African Union envoy is a good sign of increased engagement. They will complement the work of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), specifically the efforts of the Special Representative and the MINUSCA team in the country. I would like to take this opportunity to commend their efforts under very difficult circumstances and to pay tribute to all MINUSCA personnel. The renewal of MINUSCA's mandate will soon be discussed.”

  6. “The European Union recently held consultations with several partners, including France, Russia and the United States, in order to achieve better coordination in the field. First and foremost, on peace and reconciliation, I would like to reiterate the European Union's full support for the African Initiative for Peace and Reconciliation under the auspices of the African Union and the leadership of President Touadera. The work done by the panel of facilitators under the leadership of Ambassador Nebie lays the ground for a settlement. We call on all actors, international and regional, to support the action of the Government and of the African Initiative in a properly coordinated and fully transparent manner. We now need to progress quickly and obtain results.”

  7. “We have identified the following objectives in that process: first, the fight against impunity, including through the establishment of transitional justice; secondly, the restoration of the rule of law and of social cohesion; and, thirdly, the provision of basic services and the restarting of the economy, including through legal and sustainable use of natural resources. We welcome the efforts and progress made by President Touadera and his Government in those areas. We encourage them to continue in that direction with greater determination. We are entering a critical phase in the Central African Republic that will require the mobilization of all international actors to coordinate our efforts in full transparency.”

  8. “That is why we collectively need to engage and help the country to end violence and achieve lasting stability. That should also lead to accountability on the part of local actors. It is crucial that all actors remain fully focused on peace and reconciliation. The solution to the crisis is political, not military. For its part, as expressed just last week by the European Union Foreign Ministers in Brussels, the European Union is committed to maintaining its substantial engagement and support for the Central African Republic. Our road map is clear: the consolidation of democratic institutions, the stability of institutions and security sector reform must go hand in hand.”

  9. “Mr. Verbaeke: I am honoured by this opportunity to brief the Security Council, as well as for the opportunity for the European Union (EU) to address the Council today, have an exchange with Mr. Parfait Onanga-Anyanga, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the Central African Republic, and Ambassador Nebie. This is the second time since the holding of the high-level event on the Central African Republic on the margins of the General Assembly that we discuss the Central African Republic. It is crucial to continue sending out clear signs of interest in the situation in that country. We have to acknowledge that presently the country represents a combination of fragility and instability, together with a severe and still protracted humanitarian crisis.”
