The President
I shall give the floor to those representatives wishing to speak in explanation of position on the resolution just adopted.
Mr. Wallace
First of all, Mr. President, I want to commend you for your ceaseless encouragement to finish work on this important resolution on development, a resolution that proved difficult not because of fundamental disagreements between members, but because of the complexity of the issues we had to address. The final product is a good one. Faithful to both the substance and the spirit of the world summit,…
Ms. Lintonen
I am speaking on behalf of the European Union. The European Union appreciates the balanced outcome of our negotiations. It recognizes that extensive and protracted consultations were required in order to finalize such a complex resolution, and is convinced that the followup to the development-related aspects of the 2005 World Summit Outcome will greatly benefit from the document. At the same time…

Mr. Al-Hebsi
My delegation would like to explain its position on paragraph 62 of the resolution just adopted. My delegation supports the statement made by the Chairman of the Group of 77 and China in that regard. We had hoped that paragraph 62 would reflect the offer made by His Highness the Emir of Qatar to host, in Doha in 2007, the first review conference of the
International Conference on Financing for D…
Mr. Chaudhry
We align ourselves with the statement made by the Chairman of the Group of 77.
We are pleased that a development resolution has been adopted today by consensus. Development is a matter of high priority for developing countries. The resolution reiterates many commitments already made in the past, but makes only modest references to monitoring mechanisms to ensure that those commitments are implem…
The President
I call on the observer of the Observer State of the Holy See.
Monsignor Cushley (Holy See): My delegation welcomes the resolution on the follow-up to the development outcome of the 2005 world summit and the renewed commitment of Member States to work in favour of development, which in itself is an essential and central goal among the various ends of the Organization.
In accord with its explanat…
