Madrid will be remembered as the time when North America and Europe came together to shape the course of a new century, ... United by common purpose and shared values, the new alliance stands ready to shape a brighter, more secure future.
Allow me to remind you that neither our patience nor our resources are infinite,
Acting under the authority granted me by the North Atlantic Council, I have accordingly decided to terminate with immediate effect the air campaign, which I suspended on June 10,
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,
Regarding exports of North Korean missile technology, export of technology is trade and if there are buyers, we'll sell.
I had a meeting of the North Atlantic Council this morning, and all the 19 ayes were absolutely like one country, ... Every country that belongs to NATO is behind the decision we have taken.
Checkpoints have been dismantled, and in addition most police and military units normally based elsewhere in Yugoslavia have left Kosovo. The security forces are returning to the level they were at before the present crisis began,
What the European Union has decided is that the place where this has to be resolved is in the Security Council.
We have to do the utmost to maintain this relationship.
We are very concerned by the serious deterioration of the security situation in Gaza.
We are very close. The behavior of the Serbs' party in the conference in Paris has been really appalling,
We are trying to see how we can help to scale down the violence, and the situation of tension, and therefore to return to what is a dream of everybody, to try to negotiate a permanent peace.
We are trying to provide the necessary resources we hope that we will have enough money to support the Palestinian Authority until a new government is formed.
We think it is part of history, this embargo, but we have to find a manner and the moment in which it can be done without any difficulty, any problem.
