Statement of Panama at the UNGA72

Colombia: America and the world are happy because Colombia continues to successfully implement the peace agreement. In his recent visit, Pope Francis left a great message on the consolidation of this process, which is not only for Colombians, but for all: the need to accept the mistake committed, to correct, and to seek reconciliation.

Colombia: We cannot permit narcotraffickers to steal us of our peace that came at such a high cost in Central America and Colombia.

Syria/Iraq: Today, I make a respectful call to the member countries of the Security Council to strengthen the measures and decisions that promote the definitive peace in places like Syria and Iraq and at the same time strongly condemn irresponsible leaderships, like the one in North Korea, that try to destabilize the peaceful coexistence of the world.
