إن الأمل يحدوني في زيادة تعزيز وحدة المجلس، التي مرت باختبار قاس أثناء رئاستي في آذار/مارس، والتي عززها اتخاذ القرارين 1472 (2003) و 1483 (2003)، بما يسمح للمجلس بأداء دوره كضامن للأمن الدولي وبالحفاظ على كامل مصداقيته.
I hope that the unity of the Council, which was put to such a rude test during our presidency in March and which was strengthened by the adoption of resolutions 1472 (2003) and 1483 (2003), will be further enhanced, allowing the Council to play its role as guarantor of international security and to maintain its full credibility.
