  1. “The friendship built between Japan and Haiti is also a strong and solid one. Japan will never forget the solidarity shown by Haiti in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. Through that friendship, I am confident that we can overcome the difficult challenges ahead of us and advance towards a brighter future.”

  2. “Mindful of the presidential elections scheduled for November 2015, while also taking into account the developments to date in Haiti, Japan was encouraged to learn that a reduction in MINUSTAH personnel - a withdrawal of 1,249 infantry and engineering personnel - is planned to take place by the end of June 2014. Through support to the recovery efforts in Haiti, Japan hopes that, in the near future, conditions on the ground will enable a progressive drawdown of the MINUSTAH operation and a handover of its functions to the Government of Haiti. Two decades have passed since the first Japan- Caribbean Community (CARICOM) consultation was held in 1993. The year 2014 has been designated as the Japan-CARICOM. Friendship Year in order to enhance the relationship in diverse fields.”

  3. “In addition, on 11 March, the Government of Japan signed a document with UNICEF to provide assistance totalling approximately $2.5 million for a cholera-prevention project in Haiti. Further, approximately $3 million for underprivileged farmers in Haiti has also been decided. Japan intends to continue to support the recovery in and cooperate with Haiti. The Secretary-General's report raises an important issue about the future United Nations presence in Haiti. Japan welcomes the integrated planning process on the post-2016 United Nations configuration in the country that has been launched and the five broad possible options presented in the report on the future of MINUSTAH.”

  4. “Moreover, at the time of the withdrawal of its personnel, Japan donated engineering equipment to the Government of Haiti and prefabricated houses to MINUSTAH. In addition to the Japan Self-Defense Force contribution, my country has disbursed more than $150 million since 2010 for the reconstruction of Haiti. Basic infrastructure in the country remains fragile. Therefore, Japan has focused its assistance on restoring and establishing basic social services in the fields of health, hygiene and education. Recently, on 7 March, the Government of Japan agreed to provide approximately $6.8 million in assistance for a water supply facilities reconstruction project in Leogane and approximately $7 million for a hospital reconstruction project in Jacmel.”

  5. “Various challenges persist but significant progress has been made in the stabilization and recovery process in Haiti. In that regard, the support provided by MINUSTAH, such as increasing the capacity of the Haitian National Police, building electoral capacity, strengthening the rule of law and supporting political dialogue, has been indispensable. Japan, as a close friend of Haiti, has also been contributing to the recovery process in the country. A total number of approximately 2,200 Japanese Self-Defense Force personnel served as part of the engineering unit that was dispatched until December 2012. Their activities contributed to clearing away rubble and debris, building facilities and transporting supplies in the aftermath of the earthquake that hit Haiti in 2010.”

  6. “I would like to express my appreciation to you, Madam President, for presiding over today's debate. I would also like to commend Ms. Sandra Honore, Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Haiti, for her invaluable and significant contribution to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). I thank her for her comprehensive briefing this morning. I also wish to pay tribute to the men and women of the MINUSTAH for the commitment and fortitude they have demonstrated under difficult circumstances. I welcome the Secretary-General's report on MINUSTAH (S/2014/162), issued on 7 March. As the report points out, the adoption of the electoral law and the launching of an inter-Haitian dialogue process are encouraging signs that can lead to overcoming the recurrent political crises and defuse tensions.”
