Thank you very much, Mr. President.

Allow me to congratulate you on your assumption of the Presidency.

I just wanted to make a very brief clarification with respect to the statement made a few moments ago by the ambassador of Pakistan. But first we thank you very much for your kind words. I think we consulted as productively as we possibly could have done.

Just one point, I just like to make clear that all documents that you asked me to be circulated were given to the secretariat to do that.  Some of those we agreed to send to the regional coordinators for consultations in regional groups.  Also as President, I feel quite clear in saying I made exhaustive efforts to determine whether any or all formulations, proposed by all delegations, could achieve consensus. Sadly that was not the case.

Thank you.
