The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic Jeenbek Kulubaev spoke at an open meeting of the UN Security Council on the maintenance of international peace and security on September 26, 2024 in New York.
The minister noted that the ongoing security crises in the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe continue to claim innocent lives, cause humanitarian crises and destruction.
In this regard, he stressed that Kyrgyzstan stands for the earliest possible defusing of international tension and shared the vision of the country.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs stressed that all states, without exception, must faithfully and unambiguously comply with the principles and provisions of international law and the UN Charter.
He noted that Kyrgyzstan stands for qualitative and quantitative reform of the Council, which provides for improving its working methods and expanding its membership, taking into account balanced regional representation.
In this context, he noted that, first of all, it is necessary to eliminate this injustice and resolve the issue of increasing the number of member countries from Africa.
He recalled that the Kyrgyz Republic put forward its candidacy for a non-permanent member of the Council for 2027-2028 for the first time and called for the elimination of historical injustice by giving states that have never served on the Council the opportunity to get a seat.
In conclusion, the minister noted that the Kyrgyz Republic is always interested and ready to contribute to the efforts of the Security Council in addressing global challenges and threats.
