  1. “That potential can be seen in the increased partnership and cooperation among regional stakeholders. The country’s leadership has shown its firm resolve to address existing challenges, and the international community needs to take cognizance of the same and continue supporting the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. On our part, India will remain steadfast in supporting the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

  2. “We believe that will help promote the country’s continued leadership and engagement with its neighbours and the wider Central African region. We also welcome the convening of the tenth high-level meeting of the Regional Oversight Mechanism of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Region, which took place in Kinshasa on 24 February. The Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework has enabled countries of the region to collaborate and work together to eliminate negative forces operating within the region. We firmly believe that the framework remains the key architecture to usher in and safeguard lasting peace and stability in the region. In conclusion, a peaceful and stable Democratic Republic of the Congo will contribute immensely to the overall development of the region.”

  3. “The authorities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have made progress towards the holding of elections by way of appointments to the Independent National Electoral Commission, the unveiling of an electoral road map and the submission of the requisite draft legislation. We welcome those developments, while noting the challenges in the road map. We encourage all stakeholders to keep up the positive momentum and create an enabling environment for the holding of peaceful, inclusive and transparent elections. India also welcomes that the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has assumed the role of Chairperson of the Economic Community of Central African States and welcomes the country’s admission into the East African Community as a full member.”

  4. “Tangible progress in its implementation, with the equal and meaningful participation of women at all stages, will be crucial to the eventual establishment of peace and stability in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. We encourage MONUSCO to continue to support the efforts of the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo with regard to security sector and judicial reforms. With regard to MONUSCO’s operations on the ground, we believe that greater clarity on the interpretation of the mandate as it relates to the Force Intervention Brigade and other battalions is important. That would help TCCs to have a clear understanding of operations to be undertaken and to equip themselves appropriately, and it is especially important for the safety and security of peacekeepers.”

  5. “We also underscore the critical need of regular tripartite coordination among MONUSCO, the Ugandan People’s Defence Force and the Forces armées de la République démocratique du Congo during military operations, especially at the tactical level. We take note of the ongoing preparations for MONUSCO’s withdrawal from Tanganyika by June 2022. A successful drawdown, as per the timeline, would further boost the Mission’s own plans for rationalizing the resources and focusing on the three eastern provinces. We have also noted the steps taken in implementation of the Disarmament, Demobilization, Community Reintegration and Stabilization Programme against the benchmarks and the establishment of the provincial coordination mechanism.”

  6. “We strongly condemn those attacks and offer our condolences to families of the victims. The established links between the ADF and terrorist groups and the potential spread of terrorism to the Central African region is a cause for concern. The Democratic Republic of the Congo authorities have been raising the issue of the presence of terrorists operating under the cover of the Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda and the ADF in Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu and Maniema. That needs to be taken seriously. We welcome the enhanced regional efforts among the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and Rwanda to combat armed groups in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

  7. “The primary responsibility to protect civilians rests with the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. MONUSCO’s role is to supplement those efforts, including in its areas of deployment. In that regard, we note that the persistent violence and insecurity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s eastern provinces — mainly in Ituri, the Grand Nord area of North Kivu and parts of South Kivu — is a cause for concern. The Coopérative pour le développement du Congo, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) and other armed groups continue to be active, killing scores of civilians and attacking Government security forces and United Nations peacekeepers. The Islamic State-Central Africa Province has also claimed responsibility for the 25 December improvised-explosive-device attack in Beni, which had the bearings of a typical terror attack.”

  8. “As the second-largest troop contributor to MONUSCO, with over 2,000 personnel, India takes keen interest in the Mission’s operations, as well as in developments in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. India expresses serious concern about the crash of the MONUSCO helicopter, which was on a reconnaissance mission earlier today near Rutshuru. We pray for the safety and well-being of the crew and the passengers. We look forward to an update on that incident by Special Representative Keita. I will focus my remarks on the two main objectives concerning MONUSCO’s mandate — the protection of civilians and support for the stabilization and strengthening of State institutions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and key governance and security reforms.”

  9. “Let me begin by thanking Special Representative of the Secretary-General Bintou Keita for her update on the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) and the developments in the country. I also welcome the representative of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to today’s meeting. India’s peacekeeping contributions to the Democratic Republic of the Congo date back to 1960, when our peacekeepers helped in the orderly withdrawal of colonial forces and the establishment of a national Government. Since then, 51 of our soldiers have made the ultimate sacrifice, the highest of any troop-contributing country keeping the peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”
