  1. “Thailand stands ready to work with all partners to accelerate global efforts to achieve the SDGs in order to bring about sustained peace for all.”

  2. “We will continue to support the efforts of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to enhance complementarities between ASEAN Community Vision 2025 and the 2030 Agenda, including through the ASEAN Centre for Sustainable Development Studies and Dialogue. We commend China for its Global Development Initiative to strengthen partnership for development and look forward to actively engaging in its activities, as a founding member of the Group of Friends of the Global Development Initiative. We will continue to work with the international community to rescue the SDGs and to promote sustainable development in the United Nations and through international partnerships. In conclusion, Thailand believes that there can be no peace without sustainable development, and peace can be sustained only when people’s development needs are met.”

  3. “Beyond the United Nations, regional organizations can play an important role in supporting such a holistic approach. As regions know the causes of their common challenges and the appropriate solutions to them best, they should be placed in the position to contribute to peace endeavours and most importantly in prevention through promoting sustainable development most suitable to their needs. We hope that those efforts will also be accompanied by wider partnership and processes. On that note, Thailand reaffirms our support for all efforts to build peace through development at the regional and global levels.”

  4. “Thirdly, a wider and more robust global partnership is required to ensure synergy and effectiveness in promoting sustained peace through development. This means greater coherence within the United Nations system and more enhanced partnership beyond the United Nations. The Security Council must engage with other United Nations bodies, such as the Peacebuilding Commission, the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council, to better incorporate their expertise on development into its work, which will help to ensure a more holistic approach in delivering the Council’s mandate. International financial institutions, through engagement with relevant United Nations bodies, could also be an essential enabler in both financing for development and financing for peacebuilding.”

  5. “Secondly, the ultimate beneficiaries of our work here at the United Nations, whether on peace or development, are the people themselves. It is their welfare and future for which we are accountable. People-centred approaches are vital in overcoming multifaceted challenges, as they are firmly based on the interlinkages and complementarities between sustaining peace, sustainable development and human security. Inclusivity and participation are the principles inherent to such approaches. People must be empowered in order for them to play a role in designing their common path towards sustainable peace. All stakeholders, from women and girls, and people with disabilities, to other vulnerable groups, should be able to engage actively in efforts towards sustainable peace and development.”

  6. “Next year, as we approach the Summit of the Future to enhance multilateralism, with the United Nations at its core, our collective efforts must be mobilized towards promoting peaceful means and the pacific settlement of disputes, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, applicable international law and Security Council resolutions, as peace is a prerequisite for development to take root. At the same time, the Summit of the Future should gear us towards addressing poverty eradication, the development gap and the digital divide, shoring up efforts to respond to existing and emerging challenges, including climate change, and turbocharging efforts towards attaining the SDGs, which are key for peace to be lasting and sustainable.”

  7. “I wish to share the following observations on the agenda item before us today. First, we believe that conflicts do not occur in a vacuum. The context and drivers that brought about the conflicts themselves matter. Therefore, efforts to foster peace must address the root causes of such conflicts. Inclusive and sustainable development is a vital component throughout the peace continuum. Local development needs should be integrated in every step towards peace, from prevention to peacekeeping and peacebuilding, to forge a strong foundation conducive to sustained peace and prevent countries from experiencing the vicious cycle of conflict and poverty.”

  8. “The World Bank study entitled “Pathways for Peace” identifies that development processes can interact with security, diplomatic, justice and human rights efforts to prevent conflicts from becoming violent. On the other hand, the Secretary-General’s New Agenda for Peace, based on data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, finds that conflict-affected countries are significantly lagging behind on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially those that relate to hunger, good health and gender equality. It is promising that the New Agenda for Peace recognizes that sustainable development is ultimately the only way to comprehensively address the interlinked, multidimensional drivers of violence and insecurity. We hope that that approach will be taken further forward.”

  9. “At the outset, I wish to congratulate China as it continues its presidency of the Security Council this month and to express appreciation for convening today’s important open debate, on the theme “Promote sustaining peace through common development.” I also wish to thank Brazil for its successful presidency in October, and we appreciate the Secretary-General and all the briefers for sharing their insights in this meeting. Thailand has been resolute that peace will be more sustainable if anchored on human security and sustainable development. Indeed, peace and development are two sides of the same coin. Sustainable development is critical to conflict prevention.”

  10. “Fourthly, Thailand believes that regional perspectives and engagement are of particular importance for the successful implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). The ideas and concerns of women in different regions, from leaders to those at the grass-roots level, must be taken into account. In conclusion, Thailand reaffirms its commitment to the full implementation of the women and peace and security agenda, as it is our conviction that a society can enjoy enduring peace, stability and sustainable development only through the realization of diversity, equality and inclusion.”

  11. “Our experience in the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia, the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan, and the United Nations Mission in South Sudan shows that women peacekeepers can help to build trust, provide gender-sensitive responses and address the vulnerabilities faced by women and girls in host communities. Thirdly, capacity-building and adequate funding remain critical factors for promoting the women and peace and security agenda. It is imperative that capacity- building be relevant to the context and situation of each conflict area. It is also crucial to promote cooperation with various stakeholders, including civil society, local communities and the private sector.”

  12. “Secondly, Thailand supports the Uniformed Gender Parity Strategy to increase the representation of women in United Nations peacekeeping operations in a sustainable manner. We also support the incorporation of gender perspectives in all United Nations peace and security efforts. The number of Thai women officers in United Nations peacekeeping operations has continued to increase as a result of Thailand’s efforts to empower and equip them with the skills required for their active participation. Currently, Thailand deploys 18 women military personnel and six women police personnel in United Nations peacekeeping operations — approximately 8 per cent of our troop contribution, the highest proportion of Thai women personnel to date.”

  13. “For its part, Thailand is fully committed to that very important agenda and continues to look for ways to strengthen the obligations set forth under the resolution. In that light, Thailand wishes to highlight the following four points. First, as women are a key pillar of every society, it is crucial to promote their leadership and meaningful participation in peace processes and in decision-making at all levels. For Thailand, our national measures and guidelines on women and peace and security set out a clear framework for a coordinated, whole-of-Government approach, in partnership with the international community. In collaboration with UN-Women, we are developing new measures and guidelines for the next cycle and seeking to strengthen the role of women in addressing conflict and political and social unrest.”

  14. “Thailand aligns itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Indonesia on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. At the outset, Thailand wishes to express its appreciation to Mozambique for convening this important open debate on the women and peace and security agenda. Thailand reaffirms the vital role of women as active agents for transformative change in our efforts to achieve peace and security and sustainable development. The year 2025 will mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the landmark resolution 1325 (2000) on women and peace and security, which has provided the bedrock for women’s protection and empowerment in the realm of peace and security.”
