シリア情勢に関する安保理緊急会合における志野大使ステートメント
令和6年4月2日
(As delivered)
Thank you, Madam President.
As today is the first open briefing this month, let me take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to all Council members for their kind support during Japan’s Presidency. We wish Ambassador Vanessa Frazier and her able team of Malta the best of luck for the month of April. Let us assure our sincere support as we have received from you.
I also would like to thank ASG Khiari for his briefing.
Although we have yet to confirm the facts on the ground, Japan is monitoring with deep concern the situation following the reported air strikes against Iranian diplomatic premises in Damascus that allegedly killed at least thirteen people including Iranian officials.
Madam President,
We are seriously worried about the current volatile situation in the Middle East, in which any additional conflicts could lead to a wider escalation and confrontation.
Therefore, Japan calls upon all relevant parties to exercise maximum restraint and not to engage in any further destabilizing actions.
What is now desperately needed is stability.
Japan remains committed to making every effort in close cooperation with fellow Council members and other key stakeholders to prevent a further deterioration of the situation, to restore security and stability, and to find sustainable solutions to end the crisis in the region.
I thank you.
