I just want to make it very clear that none of us are making a statement that the U.N. can solve all the problems in the world. But I want to reiterate again a comment that my good friend Mr. Moran made: If we are going to put a cocoon around our country and operate in isolation, we will be less successful in dealing with the extraordinary challenges that we are facing today.

We are working very hard with our colleagues and our friends around the world to try and find solutions.
