  2. As an active and responsible member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Lao People’s Democratic Republic has attached great importance to the promotion of regional peace and stability. Through the Treaty on the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone, we in ASEAN have firmly upheld the importance of the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, which lays a solid foundation for maintaining regional peace and security. In this same vein, ASEAN’s role in addressing regional security challenges by peaceful means, including the issue of Myanmar, remains essential. We must also do our utmost to ensure the continuation of humanitarian assistance to people in need, as well as to advance full and effective implementation of the five-point consensus agreed by the ASEAN leaders.

  3. It is our shared aspiration that the Council be transformed in order to respond to the current global security threats and needs. The international community must find peaceful and long- lasting solutions to ongoing conflicts and disputes. We believe that unilateral coercive measures contradict the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law. They continue to impede the rights and prevent the full economic and social development of the innocent peoples subjected to them. To ensure lasting peace and prosperity, we must create opportunities for peaceful solutions and an environment conducive to diplomatic negotiations.

  4. “We”, as stipulated in the Charter, are the peoples of the United Nations, and we gather at the United Nations to find the most appropriate solutions and take urgent actions in addressing the problems facing us all today. This cannot be done without firmly upholding the principles of the United Nations Charter and preserving multilateralism. The United Nations was founded to avert another global catastrophe. Our collective wisdom and political will to find the most pragmatic approach to tackling the increasing number of crises imperilling us today must be above all unilateral and political interests. In so doing, we must bolster our solidarity, address differences and avoid confrontation and division. In this context, the United Nations, especially the Security Council, must effectively fulfil its mandate to maintain peace and security.

  5. I would like to begin by thanking you, Mr. President, for convening today’s open debate, and I congratulate the Russian Federation on assuming presidency of the Security Council this month. My delegation would also like to thank the Secretary- General for his important briefing. The Lao People’s Democratic Republic aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of Azerbaijan on behalf of the Non-Alignment Movement. We have arrived at this very critical juncture where the international community is confronted with multifaceted challenges, including armed conflicts and economic, financial and environmental difficulties. Further, multilateralism, which has always been at the core of international cooperation, has been undermined, whereas unilateralism has been on the rise.
