Statement by Tehmina Janjua,
Deputy Permanent Representative of Pakistan
1001th Plenary of the Conference on Disarmament
2 February 2006
Mr. President,
We would like to convey our condolences to the Polish Government
and to the families affected by the Katavitise accident.
We would like to again congratulate you on your assumption of the
Presidency. We hope that under your leadership and with your energetic
endeavors we will have success on getting a comprehensive and balanced
programme of work. Pakistan supports all efforts to find a way out
of the current stalemate in the CD.
Mr. President,
Your choice of the Friends of the President could not have been
better. Each one of the distinguished Ambassadors in the Friends
of the President has outstanding credentials and experience in dealing
with disarmament and arms control issues as well as in the work
of the CD. The functional utility of setting up the group of Friends
of the President, however, has to be seen and confirmed. May I reiterate
that we all consider ourselves to be Friends of the President.
On the question of programme of work which should be comprehensive
and balanced, my delegation has clearly stated its position in the
CD. We would like to reiterate and we are convinced that the A-5
proposal continues to hold the largest amount of support within
the CD. The A-5 proposal, even if it is not completely satisfactory
for us, can help get the CD jump started and working.
Thank you, Mr. President.
