I welcome the commitment by North Korea to abandon all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs and to return at an early date to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and to IAEA safeguards,
I want to underline that the political process is back on track ... the cease-fire is back on track.
I warmly welcome the statement ... that the Kosovo Liberation Army has complied with its commitment to demilitarize,
I think the most important concern we should have at this moment is the return of the refugees. That should be the most important commitment that the international community should have at this point ... In order to achieve that ... there is no question the forces will have to be withdrawn,
I think there is no divide today between the U.S. and Europe as far as the main objectives of Iraq,
I think in a few days we will be in a position to convey again the situation to the different governments and probably take a decision soon. There is a lot of work to be done.
I strongly condemn the death of innocent civilians in last night's attack against Gaza.
I stress that there has been no decision on the follow-on force, ... We need to look clearly at the mission size.
Peace is more than the end of violence. Peace is more than just a cease-fire,
Peace in the whole of Sudan is vital, not only for this big country -- the biggest in Africa -- but also for the entire African continent and the Arab world.
People in the Muslim world are starting to feel this is a new September 11 against them.
Steps are urgently needed to improve the visibility, impact and effectiveness
That doesn't make much sense, to have another meeting, if there's nothing new on what they are going to put on the table.
NATO continues to support a political solution which brings an end to the violence in Kosovo,
