Mr. Lavrov
At the outset, I wish to thank John Kerry for his initiative to convene the third meeting of the International Syria Support Group today in New York, which has brought us together here in this Chamber.
This meeting of the International Syria Support Group undescores the commitment of all its participants to the Vienna process. Resolution 2254 (2015), which we have just adopted, approves the Grou…
The President
I thank Mr. Lavrov for his statement and for his leadership on this issue.
I now give the floor to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign and Expatriate Affairs of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
Mr. Judeh
At the outset, I would like to express my gratitude to the Secretary of State of the United States, whose country is presiding over the Council this month, for convening this important ministerial meeting to follow up on the constructive international work that has been accomplished with the aim of bringing an end to the crisis in Syria and the suffering of the Syrian people.
Today’s meeting is …
The President
On behalf of the Council, I wish to thank Minister Judeh and the Hashemite Kingdom for their service and the peacekeeping they undertake, as well as for the extraordinary work done with refugees. We are all very grateful.
It is now my privilege to give the floor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Development for France.
Mr. Fabius
There is great urgency in Syria, as well as for the Syrian people. In the past five years more than 250,000 have been killed, while 4 million have become refugees and 13.5 million have been displaced. The terrorism of Daesh has struck the heart of its cities. There is an urgent need to resolve this crisis, which, far beyond Syria, poses a threat to international peace and security.
In this conte…
Mr. Wang Yi
China welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 2254 (2015) by the Security Council. The resolution embodies the broad consensus of the international community, demonstrates the important role of the Security Council, reflects the keen aspiration of the Syrian people and lends fresh impetus to the political settlement of the Syrian issue. We must follow through on it with a view to translatin…
The President
I thank Minister Wang Yi particularly for having travelled all the way to be here for one day. He is about to catch a plane to rush back. We are very appreciative of his effort, which, in itself makes an important statement.
I now give the floor to the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs of the United Kingdom.
Mr. Hammond
Let me begin by thanking the Secretary-General and his Special Envoy, Staffan de Mistura, for all that they are doing to bring the Syrian parties together. Allow me to also thank you, Mr. Secretary, for the characteristic drive and energy that you have brought for months to this process in establishing the International Syria Support Group. That has given new momentum to the resumption of Syrian-…
The President
Allow me to thank the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs of the United Kingdom, Mr. Hammond, for his personal engagement and collaboration on this matter. It has really been key, together with that of Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Laurent Fabius and company. We are very appreciative of their help.
I now give the floor to the Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs of Spain.
Mr. Ybáñez
The unanimous adoption of resolution 2254 (2015) opens a window of opportunity to address through dialogue the crisis in Syria, one of the most painful conflicts that we have seen in decades. The main victims of the crisis are first and foremost the Syrians themselves. Today’s resolution comes too late for the more than 250,000 people who have died in the past five years. We should not forget tha…
The President
I now give the floor to the Secretary of State for External Relations of Angola.
Mr. Domingos
We thank the United States Secretary of State, Mr. John Kerry, for presiding over this important meeting.
We also welcome the adoption of the landmark resolution 2254 (2015), which delineates the process that will bring about the end of the Syrian crisis. Its pledge to support the ceasefire in Syria marks a vital step forward. We encourage all parties to abide by its provisions in order to succe…
The President
I now give the floor to the Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs of Lithuania.
Mr. Krivas
Our meeting today and the adoption of resolution 2254 (2015) mark an important step towards the settlement of the most brutal conflict of this century. The peace process that started in Vienna is long overdue, as a human tragedy continues to take place inside Syria and keeps spilling over its borders, with a particularly heavy burden on its neighbours. Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey are bearing the b…
The President
I now give the floor to the Deputy Permanent Representative of Malaysia.
Mrs. Adnin
I wish to first thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his briefing.
We are of the view that, by bringing the Vienna International Syria Support Group process to New York, non-participating Security Council members are able to substantively engage on issues concerning the situation in Syria, on which we would have preferred to have more time for consultations. This is an important step in ensur…
Mrs. Ogwu
We would like to thank the delegation of the United States for convening this meeting on a subject of vital importance to international peace and security. We also want to acknowledge the presence of participating Foreign Ministers and to welcome them to the Security Council. We listened attentively to the Secretary-General’s briefing, and
we thank him not only for sharing his perspectives on th…
The President
I now give the floor to the Permanent Representative of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
