但是，我们不要犯错误。在此，请容我向科菲·安南和拉赫达尔·卜拉希米深表敬意。正如我的前任和我一样，我的继任者能否成功，将取决于安理会是否团结一致并下决心增强联合国的权能并支持联合国，对所有各方施加压力，要求他们真正开始对话、谈判和妥协，以期解决叙利亚人民不满的问题，执行第2254（2015）号决议。
However, let us make no mistake, and here please allow me to pay deep respect to Kofi Annan and Lakhdar Brahimi. As with my own predecessors and me, the success of my successor will depend on the Council’s unity and determination to empower and support the United Nations and to pressure all parties to begin real dialogue, negotiate and compromise with a view to addressing the grievances of the Syrian people and implementing resolution 2254 (2015).
