The tragic events of September 11 are a cruel reminder of the necessity and the urgency of a security partnership of countries that embrace the values of democracy and peace.

Every country in the region and every protagonist has something to do to ensure that the peace process progresses.

Resorting to force is not desirable in the current situation, and would not solve the problems we are confronted with.
