Content_paragraphs:  Around the globe, women’s participation in peace and security efforts has 
  
  consistently been found to strengthen the sustainability and durability of peace 
  
  agreements, and to better reflect the needs and considerations of men, women and 
  
  children. As we mark the twentieth anniversary of Security Council resolution 1325 
  
  (2000) in 2020, I urge the leaders to heed the call of the Security Council and 
  
  empower the Technical Committee on Gender Equality to urgently develop an action 
  
  plan supporting the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in peace talks. 
  
  This will contribute to ensuring that any future united Cyprus is more sustainable, 
  
  safer and more equal, with greater opportunities for all.
