 Mr. Diarra<\/strong> (Mali) (spoke in French<\/i> ): …<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

…<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

  My delegation takes note of the constructive cooperation existing between the United Nations and the Organization of the Islamic Conference on political, economic, social and humanitarian issues. In particular, we believe that the two organizations should shoulder primary responsibility for assisting the Palestinian people in its legitimate quest to recover its inalienable right to self-determination and to the creation of an independent State. To that end, the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and the Division for Palestinian Rights must be supported and strengthened. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

…<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

 Mr. Samy<\/strong> (Egypt) (spoke in Arabic<\/i>): …<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

 In discussing the importance of strengthening cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional<\/span> <\/span>organizations, we must recall the special and historical ties that bind the United Nations and the League of Arab States. The two organizations have all along faced similar historical, economic, political and social challenges. Egypt has coped, and continues to cope, with important international responsibilities in order to strengthen the role of the Arab League and enable it to attain its objectives. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

  Here we would emphasize the need to strengthen cooperation between the United Nations and the League of Arab States at all levels, in particular in the political, social and economic areas. The objectives of such strengthened cooperation are the maintenance of regional and international peace and security; full and lasting respect for the principles of the Charter and of provisions of international law; and support for disarmament efforts, decolonization and the right to self-determination of peoples under foreign occupation, in particular the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and to the establishment of an independent State. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

…<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

 Mr. Sawar <\/strong>(Pakistan): …<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

…<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

  We are pleased to refer to the report of the Secretary-General (A\/59\/303), which recapitulates the progress achieved during the past year by the United Nations system and the OIC in promoting their shared goals of international peace and security and development. We welcome the effective contacts and consultations that the two organizations have maintained over the past several years. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

  The two organizations have regularly interacted on a number of political issues, and their mutually supportive role and determination to promote negotiations to resolve conflict continue to receive wide international support. Representatives from the United Nations attended the Tenth Session of the Islamic Summit Conference in Malaysia in 2003 and the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers held in Tehran and Istanbul in 2003 and 2004, respectively. We would like to see the two organizations work more closely in addressing and resolving some of the conflicts in the Muslim world, including Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kashmir. More work needs to be done by all concerned to address the root causes of these conflicts and to promote justice and peace. <\/p><\/div>\n
