regarding the reactivation of the Group of Seven, and we hope that the necessary measures will be taken so that the Group can immediately start its work. I need not remind this negotiating body that a lot is expected from us by the international community. Our achievements are bound to be measured against those lofty expectations. No doubt, a simple stock-taking of our work would clearly reveal that we have no reason to be proud except for the chemical weapons negotiations which are nearing their final stage. Unfortunately, however, even the progress we are witnessing in the chemical weapons negotiations still falls far short of our expectations due to lack of sufficient political will. In the light of the present conducive international atmosphere, which in the view of the Ethiopian delegation is indeed a unique period in contemporary history, we would be judged severely if this opportune moment were to slip by without meeting the challenges posed by mankind's quest to free the world from the threat of all weapons of mass destruction, and in particular the threat of a nuclear holocaust. The PRESIDENT : I thank the representative of Ethiopia for her statement and for the kind words she addressed to the Chair. I now give the floor to the representative of Argentina, Ambassador Garcia Moritân. Mr. GARCIA MORITAN (Argentina) (translated from Spanish): Mr. President, we represent two countries brought together by common actions and objectives. Suffice it to mention the joint efforts undertaken to implement the Declaration of the Zone of Peace and Co-operation of the South Atlantic. It is in Lagos that the countries bordering the south Atlantic will be holding their second meeting very shortly. This time we will be pleased to have Namibia as a member of our unofficial community of south Atlantic nations. CD/PV.547 13 (Mr. Garcia Moritan, Argentina )
