Honorable chairperson,

First of all, we would like to congratulate you on your election as a chairperson of this committee and we
express our special thanks to the executive board and staffs of Secretariat for the successful preparation for
this convention. I have no doubt that we will have a great conference due to your wisdom, calm judgment and
good leadership. Also, I sincerely feel honored to have all of the delegates from each country here today, and
I hope that this conference will be a place of unity based on trust and confidence. I also would like to announce
that we will do our best to reach reasonable conclusions for the prosperity of every country in the world.

Chairperson and delegates,

Recently, our world has been confronted with numerous challenges. Our world faces serious challenges from
regional level to global one.

(.........)

It is the hope of Angola that these obstacles be overcome by the persistence of conversation and cooperation.
These are not only the PKO's problems but also the problems of the world, which ought to be addressed quickly
before conditions worsen. Thus, we wish countries would sincerely suggest solutions to Peace Keeping
Operation for the solving of these matters and the continuation of world peace.

(.........)

Chairperson and delegates,

The UN's peace keeping operation has evolved. In these situation, all of us should promise the devoted effort
to make UN's PKO reform efficiency to become a foundation of world peace. Angola supports the Joint
Statement of the PKO problems presented and commits to assume an active role in further PKO revisions. We
emphasize that it needs the logic of universality and active, practical behavior of and by each state. Moreover,
Angola will be a firm bridge to bring effective strengthening in PKO activity. Angola will endeavor to cooperate
with the AU and construction of the PKO's foundational stability. Peace can be achieved when each country
acknowledges its duty for world peace and the UN plays a central role in international relations. Madam
chairperson and distinguished delegates, now the reality requires us to arrive at new mutual arrangements
and common action. Angola seeks to achieve further-reaching agreements and recommendations for world
peace.
Thank you.
