Working with the Peacebuilding Commission, my Government has also set up a Strategic Framework for Peacebuilding in Burundi. This is a framework that involves all of the national and international socio- political partners in contributing to strengthening the return to peace and ensuring that the resurgence of deadly crises will be a thing of the past. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the Commission for the positive results we have already achieved together, as well as for the support of the Peacebuilding Fund, from which my country has generously benefited. We are convinced that peace and security can be affirmed only in one’s house and in one’s immediate environment. Burundi is playing an active role within the regional framework in the work of the Tripartite Plus Joint Commission, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi.
