  1. “The United Nations and Germany, as a member of this community, as well as the European Union, will be at their sides. I am convinced that, in a few years from now, we will be proud to have been part of this new beginning for the Sudan and South Sudan. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The meeting rose at 12.30 p.m. 23”

  2. “I encourage the Sudanese Government to work closely with UNAMID. 1141279 The Darfur crisis has challenged all of us, and it has lifted cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union to a new level. Thabo Mbeki has shown remarkable leadership. He can count on our continued support in his efforts to find a solution to the Darfur crisis. Above all, I would like to express my appreciation for the enormous commitment of African nations to UNAMID. Our discussions here in New York give reason for hope that a spirit of reconciliation will govern future relations between the Sudan and South Sudan. Peaceful coexistence is the fundament of sustainable development and a good future for the peoples of both States. This will require effort and cooperation. The Sudan and South Sudan will not be left alone in their endeavours.”

  3. “Last week, we adopted a mandate for the new United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS). The new Mission will be the best proof of our commitment to peace and stability in the Sudan. I am confident that UNMISS will be instrumental in ending conflicts and promoting peace, development and reconciliation in South Sudan. In the meantime, the situation in Darfur must not be forgotten. I was there two weeks ago and saw first- hand how serious the situation is. A comprehensive peace agreement must finally be signed. I look forward to the day when the parties return to the negotiation table. The Council plans to extend the mandate of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) later this month. This will also improve security and freedom of movement for those on the ground helping the people of Darfur.”

  4. “I am confident that the United Nations and the Council in particular will continue to stand at the side of the peoples of the Sudan and South Sudan. The international community will continue to take a strong interest in the future development of the two countries. Germany will continue to assist in the great task of developing open, just and prosperous societies in North and South. This is also a moment to honour the achievements of all those working for peace under the big umbrella of the United Nations. I would therefore like to pay tribute to the women and men who have served in the United Nations Mission in the Sudan. The officers and staff who have contributed to this great effort through all these years deserve our sincere gratitude.”

  5. “Independence was brought about by peaceful negotiation among the political actors in the Sudan, supported by the international community, the African Union and, especially, this Council. But the real work is starting now. I have just visited the Sudan. My stay in Khartoum, Darfur and Juba showed me both the vast extent of the lands and of the work that still needs to be done. Both the Sudan and South Sudan now face great challenges, and both South Sudan and the Sudan need our support. The Sudan must see benefits from continued constructive steps in this regard, such as progress on debt relief. Germany is ready to contribute. Above all, peace is needed. Recent violence reminds us that the destructive logic of violence must finally end. The Addis Ababa agreements are important steps in the right direction and must be implemented.”

  6. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany. By adopting resolution 1999 (2011) recommending the membership of the Republic of South Sudan in the United Nations, we have written history for Africa and the whole world. We want to welcome South Sudan as the 193rd member in the family of nations. Last Saturday, over 500,000 people celebrated independence in Juba. The images went around the world. President Salva Kiir underlined in his outstanding speech the importance of good- neighbourliness, respect for human rights and good governance. We congratulate the people of South Sudan on that day of joy. The people and the parties in the Sudan, both North and South, have worked hard to make this moment possible.”
