UN<\/a>\u00a0The UN said the five elected countries will replace C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Kuwait and Poland \u2013 whose terms will end on December 31, 2019. Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Indonesia and South Africa will retain non-permanent membership for another year. The permanent Security Council members are United States, United Kingdom, Russia and China.<\/p>\nAccording to the UN, membership votes were divided as follows: three from Asia and the Asia-Pacific, one from Eastern Europe and one from Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
\u201cTunisia\u2019s election for the fourth time reflects the respect our country enjoys in the international arena as a cornerstone of its foreign policy, and the reliance in our ability to make a positive contribution to the challenges involved in promoting and maintaining international peace and security,\u201d reads a communiqu\u00e9 from the Embassy of Tunisia in Bras\u00edlia. \u201cThis vote highlights the strong support [Tunisia] enjoys, especially so in African and Arab groups, which have confirmed their support to this candidacy since the 2014 Arab Summit and the African Summit in July 2018,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n
The Embassy also notes that the vote comes in the wake of Tunisia\u2019s hosting of the latest Arab Summit in March 2019, and its being picked to host the Summit of Francophone Countries for the first time in 2020.<\/p>\n
In the Council, the Embassy said, Tunisia will support \u201ccollective actions to achieve international peace and security, the wellbeing and sustainable development of the peoples of the world, and the building of bridges of trust, dialogue, solidarity and cooperation among all member states. It will also ensure the championing of shared stances on the numerous Arab and African issues with the Security Council, chief among them the just Palestinian cause,\u201d the communiqu\u00e9 asserts.<\/p>\n
The country\u2019s priorities will be \u201cconflict prevention, the enhancement of the Security Council\u2019s commitment to finding peaceful solutions to ongoing conflicts, and the promotion of women and young people,\u201d as well as \u201cprioritizing the United Nations\u2019 role in fighting terrorism and extremism, so as to increase the effectiveness of operations for peace and cooperation for development.\u201d<\/p>\n
