For this we spare no effort, leave no option unexplored, in our quest for a comprehensive settlement for all the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict. A settlement that is just and balanced, freely accepted by all and founded on universal norms of legality and legitimacy. A settlement where the rights of all parties are equal and none superior to the other. A peace where signed agreements are fully honored and implemented. The second concept guiding our policies in the region is the one of security.
Peace is the essence of security.
A security where the safety of each is but an element in the safety of the community. A community where none seeks military superiority, where weapons of mass destruction are phased out and where all conflicts are resolved through peaceful means. Lastly a concept of synergy guides our efforts at integrating peace, security and sustained economic development and cooperation. Lasting economic integration in our region of the world can only take root if it is first among the priorities of the peoples of the region. A first priority when peace has taken hold, and when all are secure in their future.
