Jack Straw Summit Quotations

Kofi Annan has already been instrumental in pushing forward that debate in the United Nations. I firmly support his efforts. A successful United Nations Summit next week presents the international community with a real opportunity to secure the necessary change.

What we are discussing is what we have to do, the very clear undertakings given by the European Council at a summit last December and again this June, to lead to an opening of negotiations on October 3rd. I will say that I am reasonably hopeful that this deadline can be met.
