We welcome the #UNSC resolution but deeply regret the closure of #BabalSalam crossing which will have serious consequences for millions who depend on uninterrupted humanitarian assistance. #UNSC should not be an arena for politicising humanitarian aid #Syria – FM #EriksenSoreide.

Norway deeply regrets that a compromise draft resolution on continued cross-border hum. support to #Syria was vetoed in the #UNSC. Millions depend on UN access to cover basic hum. needs. We strongly urge council members to continue to work towards a solution – FM #EriksenSoreide

Important that small countries like Norway take on the responsibility of sitting on the #UNSC at regular intervals. As a small country with an open economy, we are dependent on effective international cooperation and good relations between @UN member states - FM #EriksenSoreide https://t.co/4CuC0vgsyD
