                     Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial
               integrity and unity of Côte d’Ivoire, and recalling the importance of the principles of
               good-neighbourliness, non-interference and regional cooperation,
                     Recalling that it endorsed the Agreement signed by President Laurent Gbagbo

               Supplementary Agreements,
                     Recalling again that in its resolution 1721 (2006), it notably endorsed the

               28 March 2007 (S/PRST/2007/8), it endorsed the Ouagadougou Political
               Agreement, including its Chapter V on the institutional executive framework, and

               support for them,
                     Stressing the need for the Council to pursue a rigorous, strategic approach to
               peacekeeping deployments, the substantial engagement in which is more likely to
               lead to a sustainable peace when the parties to a conflict abide by their commitments
               and obligations, welcoming the intention of the Secretary-General to keep all
               peacekeeping operations under close review and noting the importance of
