Statement by Mr. Tofig F. Musayev Chargé d’affaires a.i and Deputy Permanent Representative of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the United Nations at the plenary meeting of the seventy-ninth session of the United Nations General Assembly under agenda item 125: Cooperation between the United Nations and regional and other organizations
Introduction of draft resolution A/79/L.12, entitled “Cooperation between the United Nations and the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development — GUAM”
18 November 2024
Mr. President,
In its capacity as the current chair of the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development — GUAM, the Republic of Azerbaijan has the honour to introduce, on behalf of its co-sponsors, draft resolution A/79/L.12, entitled “Cooperation between the United Nations and the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development — GUAM”. In its resolution 58/85 of 8 January 2004, the General Assembly granted observer status to GUAM. Since its sixty-seventh session, the General Assembly has adopted without a vote six resolutions on cooperation between the United Nations and the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development — GUAM. Draft resolution A/79/L.12 acknowledges the efforts of the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development — GUAM towards developing partnership relations with the United Nations and its Member States. It also takes note of GUAM’s activities aimed at promoting regional cooperation in various areas. The draft resolution emphasizes the importance of strengthening dialogue, cooperation and coordination between the United Nations system and GUAM and invites the specialized agencies, components, organizations, programmes and funds of the United Nations to cooperate and develop direct contacts with GUAM for the joint implementation of projects aimed at the attainment of common objectives. The adoption of the draft resolution will further contribute to developing cooperation between the United Nations and GUAM, promoting the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The draft resolution has been developed on a basis of the most recent resolution (resolution 77/15) with the same title adopted by the General Assembly at its 77th session without a vote. Only technical updates have been introduced to the text this year. No comments have been received from Member States since the draft resolution was brought to their attention on 31 October 2024. I would like to thank delegations for their constructive approach and to request their kind support for the draft resolution. We look forward to its adoption without a vote, as has been the case in past years. Thank you.
