As you have noted, Mr. President, Lebanon has lost its former Prime Minister.

As you have said, Mr. President, we are beginning the second phase of our work leading up to the summit.

As you stated in your paper for which we are thankful, Mr. President there is no one size fits all solution.

Moses replied By no means . My Lord is with me .

Said Moosa , Never ! Indeed my Lord is with me , He will now show me the way .

Said he , ' No indeed surely my Lord is with me He will guide me . '

Musa said by no means verily with me is my Lord He shall guide me .

Musa ( Moses ) said Nay , verily ! With me is my Lord , He will guide me .

He said , No my Lord is with me , He will guide me .

Moses said Certainly not . My Lord is with me He will direct me .

He said Nay , verily ! for lo ! my Lord is with me . He will guide me .

He said , Certainly not ! Indeed my Lord is with me .

' No , indeed ' he replied , ' my Lord is with me and He will guide me '

Moses said , No ! Indeed , with me is my Lord He will guide me .

When the two groups came close to each other , the companions of Moses said , We will be caught .

He said By no means surely my Lord is with me He will show me a way out .

Moses replied , No , My Lord is with me , and He will guide me .

( Moses ) said By no means ! my Lord is with me ! Soon will He guide me !

Mr. President, in your opening statement you mentioned that we may soon celebrate a decade without agreement on a programme of work for this Conference.

Said the brothers If he has stolen ( no wonder ) , his brother had stolen before . But Joseph kept this secret and did not disclose it to them , and said ( to himself ) You are worse in the degree of evil , for God knows better of what you allege .

They said , If he steals , then indeed his brother has stolen before so Yusuf kept this in his heart and did not reveal it to them he replied within himself , In fact , you are in a worse position and Allah well knows the matters you fabricate .

They said , ' If he is a thief , a brother of his was a thief before . ' But Joseph secreted it in his soul and disclosed it not to them , saying , ' You are in a worse case God knows very well what you are describing . '

But Yusuf concealed it in himself , and discovered it not unto them . He said ye are in evil plight , and Allah is the Best Knower of that which ye ascribe .

They ( Yusuf 's ( Joseph ) brothers said If he steals , there was a brother of his Yusuf ( Joseph ) who did steal before ( him ) . But these things did Yusuf ( Joseph ) keep in himself , revealing not the secrets to them .

But Joseph kept it to himself , and did not reveal it to them . He said , You are in a worse situation , and God is Aware of what you allege .

They said No wonder that he steals for a brother of his stole before . But Joseph kept his reaction to himself without disclosing the truth to them .

But Joseph kept it secret in his soul and revealed it not unto them . He said ( within himself ) Ye are in worse case , and Allah knoweth best ( the truth of ) that which ye allege .

They said , If he has stolen there is no wonder a brother of his had stolen before . Thereupon Joseph kept the matter to himself and he did not disclose it to them .

They said ' If he is a thief know then that a brother of his has committed theft before him ' But Joseph kept it secret and did not reveal it to them . He said ' You are in a worse position .

But Joseph kept it within himself and did not reveal it to them . He said , You are worse in position , and Allah is most knowing of what you describe .

( Joseph 's ) brothers said , It 's no wonder that he steals a brother of his had stolen before him . Joseph noted their remarks , but did not utter a word .

They said If he steal , a brother of his did indeed steal before but Yusuf kept it secret in his heart and did not disclose it to them . He said You are in an evil condition and Allah knows best what you state .

They said , If he is a thief , a brother of his had also committed theft before him . But Joseph kept his secret and revealed nothing to them .

But these things did Joseph keep locked in his heart , revealing not the secrets to them . He ( simply ) said ( to himself ) Ye are the worse situated and Allah knoweth best the truth of what ye assert !

You mentioned the success of the OSCE election teams sent to Afghanistan and to the Palestinian Authority and said that the OSCE could develop its relations beyond the OSCE region even further.

As for the utterances of the Greek Cypriot representatives pertaining to a political settlement in Cyprus, your remarks in the same report that if the Greek Cypriots are ready to share power and responsibility with the Turkish Cypriots in a federal structure based on political equality, this needs to be demonstrated, not just by words, but by action need no further elaboration.

As for the Greek Cypriot representative's questioning of the real intentions of Turkey vis à vis the settlement of the Cyprus problem, I would like to refer, once again, to your latest mission of good offices report, in which you stated and I quote

I have the honour to refer your letter dated 16 December 2004 addressed to the President of the Security Council, issued as document S 2004 1004, by which you stated that the Counter Terrorism Committee had examined the fourth report submitted by the Government of El Salvador in accordance with paragraph 6 of resolution 1373 (2001) as well as the request to the Government of El Salvador to respond to the preliminary observations by 15 February 2005 in a fifth report.
