Press encounter upon arrival at UNHQ, (unofficial transcript)

Press events | Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General

Q: What is your assessment of the talks so far, Sir? Do you think serious points are being raised, or is the Israeli Government trying to stall for time?

SG: I think they have had a constructive discussion, and it will continue this morning. I would prefer not to say any more about it until the talks are concluded. But is has been very, very constructive, and I am sure we will be able to sort out our differences. Thank you. *****
