Mr. Wood
I am pleased to deliver this statement on behalf of the United States and Japan.
In January, the Security Council adopted resolution 2722 (2024), which underscored the importance of the exercise of navigational rights and freedoms of vessels of all States in the Red Sea and unequivocally demanded the Houthis immediately cease their attacks on merchant and commercial vessels.

Mr. Geng Shuang
The Chinese delegation abstained in the voting on the resolution just adopted (resolution 2739 (2024)). I would like to explain China’s voting position.

Mrs. Rodrigues-Birkett
Guyana thanks the co-penholders for their efforts in preparing the resolution (resolution 2739 (2024)) and for the efforts made to engage Council members.
Guyana voted in favor of the resolution renewing the reporting mandate established under resolution 2722 (2024), since we support the desire to maintain accurate and objective reporting on the situation in the Red Sea, as attacks are still bei…
