I urge both republicans and loyalists to do their part and seriously address the issue of decommissioning paramilitary weapons.
These historic decisions opened a door that had been closed to the people of Northern Ireland for too long—the gateway to peace.
I hope all the parties will reaffirm their commitment to build a peace in Northern Ireland for generations.
I also salute the people of Northern Ireland for their extraordinary perseverance and their dedication to the cause of peace.
