Vietnam’s charge d’affaires to the United Nations has applauded progress in peace consolidation and national reconstruction recorded in Cote d’Ivoire over the recent past.
“My delegation is pleased to note the overall stable security situation, the rebounding economy, the efforts by the Ivorian parties towards the reunification and restoration of state authority agendas,” said Ambassador Hoang Chi Trung at a UN Security Council’s consultation on the African country on April 28.
The ambassador called upon all the parties concerned to jointly overcome difficulties within the wider framework of reconciliation, dialogue and cooperation set out in the Ouagadougou Political Agreement, thus helping to ensure necessary conditions for predetermining a realistic date for the elections and successfully organising the expected polls by the end of this year.
He suggested that the supplementary assistance of UN agencies and the international community should be prudently implemented on the basis of local priorities in each particular phase of development, with a view to enhancing national ownership and reconciliation and ensuring maximal utilisation of resources.
Trung acknowledged the Cote d’Ivoire government’s endeavours to cooperate with the UN and regional countries in implementing the UN Security Council’s Resolution 1782 (2007).
Relevant UN resolutions should be implemented on the basis of respect for independence and sovereignty of Cote d’Ivoire, avoiding the causing of more difficulties for civilians, he stressed.
The Vietnamese representative proposed the council to adjust and then lift sanctions imposed on Cote d’Ivoire once the situation becomes normal in a move to strengthen peace, national reconciliation and reconstruction in the country./.
