It is a particular pleasure to welcome Under-Secretary-General Ms. Michelle Bachelet in the Chamber. I would like to congratulate her on her appointment and assure her of Austria's full support. We are convinced that UN Women will play a central role in further advancing this agenda. We are equally grateful for the valuable input of Ms. Thelma Awori representing the Civil Society Advisory Group on Women, Peace and Security. Civil society has always been a driving force behind this issue and we are looking forward to further advancing this agenda in close partnership.
