Canada, Ambassador Marius Grinius

Thank you very much, Mr. President.

I take the floor on the subject of the 2009 UNIDIR Seminar on Space Security that took place on 15 and16 June in this Chamber.

This year's seminar, entitled “Moving towards a safer space environment” was organised by UNIDIR with financial and material support from the governments of the People’s Republic of China, the Russian federation and Canada, as well as from the Secure World Foundation and the Simon’s Foundation. UNIDIR has compiled a Conference Report of the seminar, copies of which are available from UNIDIR. I have submitted this report to Secretary Ordzhonikidze with the request that this be issued as an official document of the CD and distributed to all member and observer States.  It would be my request to the secretariat that, as per our practice in recent years, this document be duly referenced in the appropriate place in this year’s CD Report to the General Assembly in part 3c.

Thank you, Mr. President.
