Norway and Turkey sign agreement 
Norge og Tyrkia undertegner avtale
Mr Støre travelled to Ankara this morning to meet his Turkish colleague Ahmet Davutoglu. 
Utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre reiste til Ankara i morgentimene i dag for å møte sin tyrkiske kollega, Ahmet Davutoglu.
The agreement will give Turkish and Norwegian diplomats the opportunity to exchange experience on peace and reconciliation work. 
Avtalen gir tyrkiske og norske diplomater mulighet til å dele erfaringer innen freds- og forsoningsarbeid.
“Norway and Turkey have different departure points. 
- Norge og Tyrkia har forskjellige utgangspunkt.
The fact that we take different approaches means that we can complement each other in a unique way in our efforts to prevent conflict,” said Mr Støre. 
Gjennom våre ulike tilnærminger kan vi utfylle hverandre på en unik måte i bestrebelsene på å forhindre konflikt, sier Støre.
Mr Davutoglu accepted Mr Støre’s invitation to take part in the Oslo Peace Forum in June.

Takk for invitasjonen.
The university newspaper Universitas asked why I chose to come back to Chateau Neuf. 
Avisa ”Universitas” spurte om hvorfor jeg valgte å komme tilbake til Chateau Neuf.
Look around the room, and you will find the answer – a full house, many hundreds of people of the young generation ready for a debate on the UN. 
Se ut over salen og du har svaret – full sal, mange hundre mennesker, den unge generasjon, til debattmøte, om FN!
This meeting has two objectives: 
Det er to formål med dette møtet:
Firstly, this is an extended meeting of the UN Forum. 
For det første: dette er et utvidet FN-forum.
Meets once a year prior to the UN General Assembly. 
Møtes hvert år i forkant av FNs generalforsamling.
Open discussion on foreign policy. 
Åpenhet om utenrikspolitikken.
Debate and dialogue. 
Debatt og dialog.
Importance of civil society, experts, students, various organisations. 
Betydningen av det sivile samfunn, eksperter, studenter, organisasjoner.
Several such forums. 
Flere slike fora.
Welcome to everyone, not least Helga Hjetland, Chair of the UN Association Norway. 
Velkommen til alle, ikke minst til FN-sambandets styreleder Helga Hjetland.
Thank you to all the students who have helped with the arrangements. 
Takk til alle studentene som har rigget til det hele.
Impressive. 
Imponerende.
Secondly this is one of the series of meetings under the Refleks project. 
For det andre – dette er et arrangement i rekken av Refleksprosjektet.
Engagement, knowledge. 
Engasjement, kunnskap.
Important for democracy. 
Viktig for demokratiet.

Sometimes the world finds itself at a crossroads, and we have to take a new approach. 
Noen ganger har verden stått ved en korsvei, og man har tenkt helt nytt.
The pale blue used in the background was thus a new mix. 
Den lyseblå fargen er med andre ord konstruert, den fantes ikke, den ble laget og satt sammen, ny.
The olive branches are an ancient symbol. 
Olivenkvistene et ”ursymbol”.
Food for thought. 
Tankevekkende.
1945, a long time ago. 
1945, lenge siden.
And there is no doubt that we were at a crossroads then – right after the Second World War. 
Og det var utvilsomt en korsvei – rett etter Den annen verdenskrig.
A disaster for the world. 
En katastrofe for verden.
There are not many such crossroads – and we should be glad about that. 
Slike korsveier kommer ikke ofte – det skal vi være glade for.
However, it is a paradox that a disaster is needed to create such a surge of renewal of the international system. 
Samtidig: Et paradoks at det måtte en katastrofe til for å skape en så stor kraft for fornyelse av det internasjonale systemet.
Indeed, we can ask ourselves, do we need a new disaster to create the new organisations we need? 
Ja, man kan spørre seg; må det en katastrofe til for å danne nye organisasjoner som vi trenger?
Or to improve the ones we already have? 
For å forbedre det som finnes?
I would like to take this as my starting point: the UN, the United Nations. 
La meg begynne med utgangspunktet: FN, De forente nasjoner.
What is the UN’s role today? 
Hva er FNs rolle i dag?
(Slide: Trygve Lie laying the foundation stone of UN Headquarters) 
(Bilde: Grunnstein FN-bygning med Trygve Lie)
Every September, following the opening of the General Assembly, the UN demonstrates its unique role by gathering the world’s leaders to discuss the major challenges of the day. 
Hver september, under åpningen av generalforsamlingen, demonstrerer FN sin unike rolle i å samle verdens ledere for å drøfte de store utfordringene.
Heads of state and government, foreign ministers. 
Statsledere, regjeringssjefer, utenriksministre.
This year the general debate will start on 23 September and will last until 1 October. 
I år starter generaldebatten 23. september og varer til 1. oktober.
But first, what do we mean by the UN? 
Men først: Hva mener vi med FN?
There is a great deal under the one hat – or the one umbrella – that bears the initials “UN”. 
Det er mye under hatten, eller paraplyen, til initialene ”FN”.
The UN encompasses a large number of bodies: For example, there are 12 specialised agencies (such as ILO, FAO, and WHO – where I have worked myself), four bodies in the World Bank group (such as the IMF), 17 funds and programmes (such as UNICEF, UNHCR), five research and training institutes (such as UNIDIR), seven human rights and treaty bodies (such as CEDAW), three bodies established under the Convention on the Law of the Sea (such as ISA) and 10 environmental entities (such as IPCC, CITES). 
FN favner mye: Det er for eksempel 12 særorganisasjoner (som ILO, FAO, WHO – hvor jeg selv har jobbet), 4 i Verdensbankgruppen (som IMF), 17 fond og programmer (som UNICEF, UNHCR), 5 forskningsinstitusjoner (som UNIDIR), 7 menneskerettighets- og traktatorganer (som CEDAW), 3 havrettsorganer (som ISA) og 10 miljøorganer (som IPCC, CITES).
And we have WTO, which is also part of the larger UN family. 
Og vi har WTO, som også er en del av den utvidede familien.
A total of 60 different entities in other words. 
Altså over 60 ulike organer.
Moreover, the Secretary-General of ILO (Somavia) is coming here tomorrow for a conference on decent work, which the WTO Secretary-General (Lamy) will also take part in. 
I morgen kommer for øvrig ILOs generalsekretær hit (Somavia) til en konferanse om globalisering og arbeidsliv (”Decent Work”) hvor også WTOs generalsekretær (Lamy) deltar.
We often focus on cases where the UN falls short of its goals, but every single day it delivers on its many tasks, and who is still out there on the battlefield when CNN has turned off its cameras and gone home? 
Ofte fokuserer vi på det eller der FN kommer til kort, men hver dag leveres omfattende arbeid, og hvem er der på slagmarken når CNN har reist og kameraene er slått av?
More than 100 000 peacekeeping forces, for example. 
For eksempel: De over 100.000 i fredsbevarende styrker.
I myself am going to New York next week for the General Assembly. 
Selv skal jeg til New York i nesten en uke under generalforsamlingen.
So are the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Environment and International Development. 
Også statsministeren og miljø- og utviklingsministeren.
Norwegian policy, the Government’s policy platform states that, “. 
Norsk politikk, regjeringserklæringen, sier at ”.
What part does the UN play for Norway? 
Hvilken rolle spiller FN for Norge?
What interests are we helping to promote there? 
Hvilke interesser er vi med å fremme der?
How does the Government utilise the UN General Assembly in its work for Norwegian interests? 
Hvordan bruker regjeringen FNs generalforsamling i arbeidet for norske interesser?
Not a set agenda, but an arena for promoting important issues. 
Ikke en fast dagsorden – men en arena vi kan bruke for å fremme viktige saker.
What will be important this year? 
Hva blir viktig i år?

Firstly: Peaceful resolution of conflicts. 
For det første: Fredelig løsning av konflikter.
And Georgia, Russia. 
Og Georgia, Russland.
Russia turned rapidly to the UN and the Security Council. 
Russland gikk raskt til FN og Sikkerhetsrådet.
Situation in Georgia shows both that the UN has a key role – and the UN’s limitations. 
Georgia viser både at FN er sentralt – og FNs begrensninger.
It is unclear how the conflict will colour the summit in New York. 
Det er uklart hvordan konflikten vil farge toppmøtet i New York.
What will it mean for Norway? 
Hva vil det bety for Norge?
How can I use this opportunity – in my talks with colleagues? 
Hvordan kan jeg bruke anledningen – i samtaler med kolleger?
How will it affect my long-planned meeting in New York with Russia’s Foreign Minister, Lavrov?

Secondly: The fight against poverty. 
For det andre: Kampen mot fattigdom.
And the high-level meeting on Africa (22 Sept.). 
Og et eget toppmøte om Afrika (22. sept.).
The high-level event on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) (25 Sept., Stoltenberg). 
Et høynivåmøte (25. sept., Stoltenberg) om hvor vi står i gjennomføringen av Tusenårsmålene.
