In an effort to break the current impasse, Africa will continue to hold consultations with all interested groups, regions and individual Member States, with a view to finding a solution satisfactory to all.

Under your able leadership we hope that 2005 will be a turning point in the efforts to overcome an impasse that has prevented the CD for seven consecutive years from launching substantive work.

I am not sure what the prospects are for truly emerging from that impasse.

The Committee believes that bold action is necessary to break this long standing impasse.
