Counter-Terrorism: Adoption of Presidential Statement (PRST).

The Security Council voted unanimously on and adopted a presidential statement on counter-terrorism.

The presidential statement was proposed by Algeria in connection with its signature event on counter-terrorism in Africa, which began on 21 January and which was attended by several foreign ministers including H.E Alhaji Musa Timothy Kabba,  Sierra Leone's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

The PRST includes new language specifically relating to terrorism in Africa, such as  acknowledging that terrorism hinders the implementation of the AU’s Agenda 2063 and poses a challenge for the efforts of the AU to silence the guns in Africa by 2030. The PRST also requests the Secretary-General to provide annual updates to the Council on joint AU-UN efforts to combat terrorism in Africa.
