My delegation believes that women's equal, full and active participation is key to peacekeeping and peacebuilding. In that regard, while we acknowledge the existing normative frameworks as represented by the Security Council resolutions pertaining to women and peace and security, we hope we will see a greater impetus towards actual realization of those resolutions, including the landmark resolution 1325 (2000), in order to increase women's participation in the field of peace and security.
