The Director-General Had Bilateral Meetings with the Ambassadors of Indonesia and Sudan DIRECTOR-GENERAL’S ACTIVITIES IN SEPTEMBER 2008 Rome, Italy, 1 September: The Director-General had bilateral meetings with the Ambassadors of Indonesia and Sudan. Zambia, Lusaka, 2 to 4 September: The Director-General arrived in Lusaka on 2 September at 12:50 hours to attend the burial ceremony of His Excellency Levy Patrick Mwanawasa, late President of the Republic of Zambia and to extend condolences to the Government of the Republic of Zambia. Upon his arrival on 2 September, the Director-General gave a short media interview. On the same day, he visited the State House and paid his condolences to the First Lady, together with other visiting Heads of State, State representatives, former Heads of State and foreign dignitaries. On this occasion, he interacted briefly with His Excellency Marc Ravalomanana, President of the Republic of Madagascar; His Excellency Ian S.K. Khama, President of the Republic of Botswana; His Excellency General Major Joseph Kabila, President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo; His Excellency Mwai Kibaki, President of the Republic of Kenya; His Excellency Bingu wa Mutharika, President of the Republic of Malawi; His Excellency Armando Emílio Guebuza, President of the Republic of Mozambique; His Excellency Hifikepunye Pohamba, President of the Republic of Namibia; His Excellency Thabo Mvuyelwa Mbeki, President of the Republic of South Africa; His Excellency Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, President of the United Republic of Tanzania and The Right Honourable Bethuel Pakalitha Mosisili, Prime Minister of Lesotho. The Director-General then had an opportunity to briefly meet with the staff of the FAO Representation. On 3 September, he met the Acting President, His Excellency Rupiah Banda to discuss issues of mutual concern and extend condolences. The Director-General also had an opportunity to meet the First Lady, Maureen Mwanawasa. The Director-General left Lusaka on 4 September at 07:20 hours. South Africa, Pretoria, 4 to 5 September: The Director-General arrived in Johannesburg on 4 September at 09:30 hours and continued immediately to Pretoria. He first met with Mrs Susan van der Merwe, Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs to discuss global trends in food and agriculture. They reviewed bilateral cooperation and the prospects of a joint effort to accelerate agricultural growth and improve food security in Africa, mostly in South African Development Community (SADC) countries. The Director-General welcomed the county’s leading role in promoting South-South Cooperation following the model implemented between Viet Nam and Guinea with a view to replicating it in the region. He also welcomed the country’s role in supporting FAO’s Capacity Building Project and reiterated FAO’s interest in supporting the Government in establishing the National Food Control Agency in response to the challenges posed by soaring food prices. The Director-General highlighted South Africa’s important role in the implementation of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and informed about FAO’s support to 51 African countries in identifying the National Medium-Term Investment Programme (NMTIP) and Bankable Investment Project Profiles (BIPs). However, he noted the slow pace of implementation due to lack of resources. The Minister suggested linking the CAADP programme more to Sub-regional programmes and reiterated the country’s interest, as SADC chair, in prioritizing agriculture in SADC countries in order to increase production. Later, he met the United Nations (UN) Country team to discuss overall UN cooperation, including FAO’s contribution to the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) and the United Nations Common Country Programme for South Africa (CCPAP) 2007-2010. He then met with His Excellency Lulama Xingwana, Minister for Agriculture and Land Affairs with whom he addressed the same topics discussed with the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs. In addition, an agreement was reached to share experiences on the establishment of Food Parks, including agro-mini estates, storage and small-scale water systems and the Agropole programmes. The Director-General indicated that FAO would prepare a concept note for the Minister’s consideration. He concluded his visit by addressing media representatives at the Sheraton Hotel in Pretoria on questions regarding the global perspective of rising food prices. Questions were mainly related to the causes, impact and consequences of the food crisis. The Director-General left Johannesburg on 5 September at 10:05 hours. Swaziland, Mbabane, 5 to 7 September: The Director-General arrived in Mbabane on 5 September at 11:10 hours. At midday, he had a phone interview with CNBS, London. After lunch he met with The Honourable Mtiti Fakudze, Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives and other officers of the Ministry. Discussions focused on bilateral cooperation, the current food crisis and the coordinated response of the international community, as well as on FAO’s Initiative on Soaring Food Prices. The Director-General participated in the official celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the Independence of the Kingdom of Swaziland and in the celebrations of 40th birthday of His Majesty King Mswati III. In his meeting with His Majesty King Mswati III, he shared views on global trends and challenges in food security and agriculture at the global, regional and local levels and briefed on activities undertaken in the framework of FAO’s Initiative on Soaring Food Prices and related international developments following the High-Level Conference on World Food Security. On this occasion, he also met with a number of Cabinet Ministers, including The Honourable Themba Dlamini, Prime Minister, African Heads of State and Government and other dignitaries present at the ceremony. The Director-General interacted briefly with His Majesty King Letsie III, King of Lesotho; His Majesty King Goodwill Zwelithini, King of Zulu; His Excellency Marc Ravalomanana, President of the Republic of Madagascar; His Excellency Ian S.K. Khama, President of the Republic of Botswana; His Excellency Bingu wa Mutharika, President of the Republic of Malawi; His Excellency Armando Emílio Guebuza, President of the Republic of Mozambique; His Excellency Hifikepunye Pohamba, President of the Republic of Namibia; His Excellency Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, President of the United Republic of Tanzania; His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda; His Excellency Paul Kagamé, President of the Republic of Rwanda and His Excellency Rupiah Banda, Acting President of Zambia and other dignitaries. On 7 September, he left for a field visit. On this occasion he had a brief meeting with Prince Masitsela, the local leader of the area. He addressed the press (local media, FAO media crew, Al Jazeera/South Africa) while visiting a school-based farming project in Boyane designed for children orphaned by AIDS and other vulnerable schoolchildren, funded mainly by the Government of Australia. When back in Mbabane, he had a meeting with the UN agencies to discuss global trends and challenges in food security and agriculture and the possibilities of increasing interagency collaboration to improve agricultural productivity at the regional and local levels. While referring to his field visit, he mentioned that the Government should be encouraged to expand the programme to every school. The programme could also serve as a good example for effective interagency cooperation between UN agencies. The Director-General concluded his visit with a press conference conducted at the Hotel Board Room in the presence of ASP (network for Francophone countries), Channel Swazi, Swazi TV, The Nation (a Swazi Magazine) and Associated Press Television. He also gave an interview to Swazi TV. The Director-General left Mbabane on 7 September at 18:15 hours. United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, 8 to 10 September: The Director-General arrived in Abu Dhabi on 8 September at 7:50 hours. He had bilateral meetings with: His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Red Crescent and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Environment Agency; His Highness Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister for Higher Education and Scientific Research; His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince and Deputy Commander of the UAE Armed Forces; and His Excellency Sultan Al Mansouri, Minister for Economy. Discussions focused on soaring food prices; the outcome of and follow-up to the High-level Conference on World Food Security held in Rome from 3-5 June 2008; the Sub-Regional Office for the GCC and possibilities for strengthening cooperation between the country and FAO; GCC’s agricultural investment in developing countries; and public/private partnerships. The Minister for Economy suggested that the holding of a conference in the UAE be considered with the aim of bringing together the public and private sector for investing in agriculture and to design a strategy that would lead to a win-win situation for all parties concerned. The Conference could have technical preparatory meetings as well as private sector side events. The Director-General also met with His Excellency Rashid Bin Fahad, Minister for Environment and Water to discuss the strengthening of cooperation in the fields of environment and water as well as agriculture and fisheries. He also met with His Excellency Khalid Butti Al Shamsi, Deputy Director of the Court of His Highness the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and

    STATEMENT BY HON. SAM KUTESA MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA TO THE 60TH SESSION OF THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY New York, September 21, 2005 Please Check Against Delivery Mr. President, Secretary-General, Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates Ladies and Gentlemen Allow me first of all to congratulate you on your election to preside over this important Session of the General Assembly during which we pledge our full cooperation. I wish to thank your predecessor H.E. Mr. Jean Ping for having conducted so efficiently the proceedings of the 59 th Session and spearheaded the vital negotiations on the outcome document adopted by the Summit (A/60/L.1). I also wish to express my gratitude to the Secretary-General for his leadership and especially for his efforts to reform the United Nations to make it more responsive to the dynamics and demands of the current world. Mr. President, The founding fathers of the United Nations dreamed of an organisation, in the words of the Charter, that was able to "promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom." It is in pursuit of this dream that the 55th Session of the General Assembly adopted the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This was a milestone in the realization of one of the purposes and principles of the Charter which is, "to achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of economic, social, cultural or humanitarian character and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all..." and "to be the centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in attainment of these common ends." Since the Millennium Summit in 2000, a lot has been done, both at National and International levels to attain the objectives we set ourselves in the MDGs.
