Title: N Dlamini Zuma: 59th session of UN General Assembly
STATEMENT BY MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, DR DLAMINI ZUMA: SOUTH
AFRICA - READY TO SERVE THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD, 24 September
2004
During the course of the current 59th Session of the United Nations
General Assembly, a number of countries have correctly called for
the speedy finalisation of the discussion to restructure the United
Nations Security Council.
In this context, many African countries and others outside our
Continent have inquired about the willingness of South Africa to
serve as a Permanent Member of the restructured United Nations
Security Council.
On behalf of our Government, I would like to confirm that South
Africa is ready to assume this responsibility.
Our Government and People fully understand the immense
responsibilities that would attach to this high position.
We are ready to respond to this challenge, fully sensitive to the
need to respect the interests and aspirations of all countries and
peoples, and the imperative to build an equitable and humane global
order.
