The members of the Security Council welcome the progress achieved during the second round of talks among the parties of Burundi, held in Arusha.

The members of the Council urge all the parties in Burundi to refrain from recourse to violence.

The Council members hope that further progress will be made in the continuation of the peace process, which would enable also the lifting of the remaining sanctions.
