I would also like to thank you for your kind words addressed to me as President during July. Ambassador Camilo Reyes Rodriguez, representative of Colombia to the United Nations Office in Geneva, successfully chaired the United Nations Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects and also facilitated the adoption by the Conference of the Programme of Action. This month, thanks to your country's efforts, we are able to have this open debate today on the same issue. I would like to express our appreciation to Colombia for its efforts and contributions in this regard.”

All these are vital in ensuring the steady transition of East Timor and the smooth functioning of the new Government.”

Now the Kosovo Police Service (KPS) is gaining in strength and will play an increasingly important role in ensuring law and order and the administration of justice in Kosovo. We understand that the KPS has recruited, or is about to recruit, a large number of members of the Kosovo Liberation Army, which might affect whether the KPS can fulfil its role impartially in providing law and order. We hope that UNMIK will proceed with caution on this matter. The situations in Kosovo and Macedonia are somewhat related, so it is necessary to pay attention to the illegal flow of arms and the humanitarian situation along the border of Kosovo and Macedonia.”

Voter registration in Kosovo is to be held on schedule, at the end of this month. China has all along stressed the importance of the participation of minority communities, which is necessary to ensure an impartial and fair election. Integrating the strategy used to build trust among the various ethnic groups in the area of Mitrovica, as requested by the Security Council mission to Kosovo, is also indispensable for the holding of elections in Kosovo.
