14. 我的特使办公室与政府间发展组织(伊加特)和非洲联盟合作，进一步支持努力与有关各方进行接触，争取政治解决南苏丹冲突。在伊加特领导的重振协议高级别论坛筹备过程中，特使办公室提供了广泛支持，包括进行穿梭外交。该论坛的成果是于 2017 年 12 月签署了一项停止敌对行动协议。我的特使办公室还寻求在联合国、非洲联盟和伊加特之间建立密切的工作关系和共同战略。
14. Working in close partnership with the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the African Union, the Office of my Special Envoy further supported efforts to engage with the parties towards a political solution to the conflict in South Sudan. It provided extensive support, including shuttle diplomacy, in the lead-up to the IGAD-led high-level revitalization forum, which resulted in the signing of a cessation of hostilities agreement in December 2017. The Office of my Special Envoy also sought to establish close working relations and a shared strategy between the United Nations, the African Union and IGAD.
