关于加强联合边界核查监测机制，我们欢迎各方在履行使该机制充分运作的义务方面所取得的进展。我们认为，联合边界核查监测机制是防止双方间发生事故的重要因素。我们仍然认为，减少联阿安全部队对该机制的支持会使该机制彻底瘫痪，并对全面解决阿卜耶伊局势的前景造成负面影响。在这一思想指导下，我们支持通过将联阿安全部队任务期限延长六个月的第2412（2018）号决议。我们愿在10月份支持类似的延期。
With regard to the enhanced Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM), we welcome the progress made by the parties in fulfilling their obligations to make it fully operational. We believe that the JBVMM is an important element in preventing incidents between the two parties. We continue to believe that scaling back UNISFA support for the Mechanism could completely paralyse the structure and have a negative impact on the prospects for a full resolution to the situation in Abyei. Guided by that, we supported the adoption of resolution 2412 (2018), which extended the UNISFA mandate by six months. We will be ready to support a similar extension in October.
