Storyline

UN Under Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, and the African Union Commissioner for Peace and Security Smail Chergui arrived today (10 Apr) to the Central African Republic (CAR) after a visit to Sudan.

The joint visit is aimed at further strengthening the important partnership between the United Nations (UN) and the African Union (AU), as emphasized by both UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the Chairperson of the AU Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat. Lacroix said the message of the visit is one of unity between the UN and the AU and determination to help the Central African Republic.

During their 4-day trip, Lacroix and Chergui are expected to meet with senior Government officials, senior UN and AU officials and other interlocutors. They will highlight the cooperation between the UN and the AU in seeking political solutions to the country’s conflict.

The two will also co-chair the first meeting of the International Support Group on the CAR aimed at encouraging the international community to re-engage in the peace process and to support the urgent humanitarian needs of millions in the country.
