Peacekeeping Capability Readiness System
Your Excellency Mr. Hasan Kleib, Director General for Multilateral Affairs,
Distinguished representatives from various ministries,
General officers,
Colleagues, ladies and gentlemen.
First of all allow me to express my sincere thanks to the Government of Indonesia for inviting me to this beautiful and historic city of Bandung and providing an opportunity to interact with this august gathering on the new readiness system of the United Nations.
At the outset let me express my appreciation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in leading the discussion on the new readiness system. Let me admit that the new system is still evolving hence we would really appreciate your comments and critics so that it can be institutionalized for better results.
In next 20 minutes or so I will make an effort to explain to this august gathering the background and specifics related to the new system.
