EUHR Solana welcomes outcome of Darfur meeting in Tripoli

"I warmly welcome the outcome of the Tripoli meeting. It demonstrates at a crucial moment the international community's unity of approach in support for the African Union/United Nations-led process and a clear focus on bringing peace to Darfur.

The meeting announced for 3 to 5 August 2007 in Arusha with the leading personalities of the non-signatory movements is a concrete and encouraging development. It should prepare the ground for early negotiations. The emphasis on an inclusive process - to ensure that the voices of the people in Darfur are heard - is equally important.

I call on all responsible interested parties to facilitate the task of the AU/UN and to refrain from parallel initiatives.

Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the important role played by the regional partners without whom the Tripoli meeting would not have seen such a promising outcome."
