Sommaire: 1 August 2007, Brussels - Javier SOLANA, EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), welcomes the unanimous adoption by the UN Security Council of resolution 1769, authorising the deployment of a UN/AU Hybrid Mission in Darfur, and calls all parties invited to the Arusha meeting to participate in a constructive way:
"This resolution is the result of intense and constructive cooperation, which I salute, between the United Nations and the African Union. I now call on all parties to work for a swift transition from the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) to the Hybrid Mission. The European Union stands ready to step up its support to this end.
I pay tribute to the men and women of AMIS, who are already on the ground in the service of peace. I also commend all countries having pledged to contribute with troops or otherwise to the Hybrid Mission.
We all know that a sustainable solution to the conflict in Darfur can only be achieved through a political process and I therefore welcome the organization of a meeting of leading personalities of non-signatories of the Darfur Peace Agreement to be held in Arusha on 3-5 August under the auspices of the AU/UN. This meeting is a crucial occasion to advance the cause of peace in Darfur and to promote a conducive atmosphere for peace talks. I call on all invited parties to participate in a
constructive way, so that a political settlement can be found and ensure the lasting stabilization of Darfur."
