According to her, the war in Gaza will remain a priority in the work of the Security Council. In February, issues related to Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Myanmar, a number of African countries - Somalia, Libya, CAR, Sudan – as well as the threat posed by ISIS will also be considered.

Rodrigues-Birkett noted that on February 13, Guyana will host a high-level debate on the impact of climate change and food issues on maintaining international peace and security, which will be chaired by the country's President, Mohamed Irfaan Ali.

Earlier, the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN, Sergii Kyslytsya, said in an interview with Ukrinform that the Ukrainian delegation was discussing with its partners the February 23 meeting of the UN General Assembly on the situation of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
