The search for peace, security and development is a priority for us all. That commitment was formally reaffirmed by the countries of the Non-Aligned Movement, including Algeria, at the Movement’s sixteenth summit, held in Tehran last August. We support the commitment of the United Nations to conflict prevention through its unf lagging diplomatic efforts, and we appreciate our Organization’s role in promoting appropriate solutions to major crises within the context of its tireless and comprehensive efforts to bring about development. Algeria is a member of the special joint committee of the United Nations and the League of Arab States to monitor the Syrian crisis. We supported Mr. Kofi Annan and we will do the same with his successor, Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, with a view to reaching a political solution to the acute crisis that is unfolding within that fraternal country.
