第二，我想强调指出，地区稳定仍是我们的首要目标。秘书长的信（S/2018/778）再次强调，联阿安全部队在保证阿卜耶伊和边境地区问题方面发挥着至关重要作用。安全理事会长期致力于该地区的和平与安全，它还继续发挥作用，以防暴力进一步升级。因此，我们支持秘书长的建议。特别是，我们认为，作为接下来下一步，我们必须创造政治空间。增设特派团的民事组成部分将有助于这个目标。
Secondly, I want to emphasize that stability in the region remains our primary objective. The letter of the Secretary-General (S/2018/778) underlines once again the essential role of UNISFA in guaranteeing stability in the Abyei and border areas. The Security Council has a long-standing commitment to peace and security in that region, and it continues to play a role in preventing violence from escalating further. We therefore support the recommendations of the Secretary-General. In particular, we believe that it is important to create a political space as the next step forward. Adding a civilian component to the mission would contribute to that objective.
