VietNamNet BridgeThe overall security situation in UNMIS’s operation areas of Sudan has been improved, said the Vietnamese representative to the UN, Ambassador Le Luong Minh, at a meeting of the UN Security Council on Nov. 5.

Ambassador Le Luong Minh.

“My Delegation takes a positive note of the improvement in the overall security situation in UNMIS’s operation areas, the decline in inter-ethnic violence, and the stabilisation process in Abyei as noted by the Secretary General in his report,” Minh said.

He also noted the progress made in the implementation of the Abyei Road Map Agreement, the launch of the Sudan People’s Initiative by the Sudanese Government as well as its commitment to continued cooperation with UNMIS.

UNMIS (United Nations’ Mission in Sudan )’s notable contributions to the Disarmament, Domobilization and Reintegration (DDR) process and electoral assistance should also be mentioned, the ambassador said.

However, he added, UNMIS should give more priority to the facilitation of recovery and socio-economic development in the Sudan, promotion of humanitarian activities, and protection of civilians, especially child protection in conflict-affected areas.

The ambassador also expressed concurrence with the Secretary General that the concerned parties should lift the remaining restrictions of movement for UNMIS, thereby facilitating the mission’s discharge of its mandated duties.
