We listened carefully to our colleagues’ statements and are once again struck by the degree of cynicism …
Before I begin my statement, I would like to express my surprise and disappointment.

Before you proceed with the meeting, Mr. President, I would like to express our principled disagreement with the presidency’s approach to inviting delegations to participate in this meeting under rule 37.

We regret that today the members of the Security Council must once again waste their time discussing the Syrian chemical dossier, although there have been no new developments over the past two months requiring the attention of the Security Council.

As in previous meetings to discuss the Syrian chemical dossier in past reporting periods, we are compelled to note that there has been no significant progress on the ground that would require the attention of the Security Council.

The Russian Federation abstained in the voting on the resolution prepared by the United States on the sanctions regime in relation to the Sudan (resolution 2676 (2023)).
