The Kingdom of Denmark has contributed more than EUR 800,000 to the Trust Fund for Syria Missions.
The contribution will enable the OPCW to continue its independent technical work in Syria, including verification activities and the deployment of expert missions in support of the full implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention. The OPCW's work in Syria remains central to the Organisation's mission to uphold the global norm against chemical weapons.
H.E. Mr Ulf Melgaard, Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of Denmark to the OPCW stated: "Denmark remains firmly committed to the global effort to eliminate chemical weapons and to the vital role of the OPCW in upholding the Chemical Weapons Convention. Through this contribution, Denmark reaffirms its steadfast support for the OPCW and the crucial efforts to ensure the full elimination of Syria's chemical weapons programme."
"This contribution, made through Denmark's Peace and Stabilisation Fund, builds on Denmark's longstanding and substantial support for chemical disarmament and our commitment to promoting peace and stability in Syria. We will continue to support the OPCW in its essential mission to achieve a world free of chemical weapons."
Together with this contribution, Denmark has provided over EUR 1.37 million in voluntary contributions to strengthen the Organisation's activities.
Voluntary contributions from Member States provide resources and the flexibility needed to respond to operational requirements and ensure the Technical Secretariat can continue implementing its mandate effectively.
