CRVENKOVSKI TO ADDRESS 60TH UN
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski Thursday is to address the 60th
session of the UN General Assembly in New York, which was opened Wednesday
by Swedish PM Goran Persson.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan appealed Wednesday to world leaders
marking the 60th anniversary of the United Nations to help restore
confidence in the world body and to act together to meet the challenges of
the new century.
Addressing more than 150 presidents, prime ministers and monarchs, Annan
said a document they will adopt at the end of the three-day summit was "a
good start" but not "the sweeping and fundamental reform" he proposed. He
called for urgent action on the tough, unresolved issues.
"Because one thing has emerged clearly from this process on which we
embarked two years ago: whatever our differences, in our interdependent
world, we stand or fall together," Annan said.
"Whether our challenge is peacemaking, nation-building, democratization or
responding to natural or man-made disasters, we have seen that even the
strongest among us cannot succeed alone," he said, apparently referring to
U.S. difficulties in coping with Hurricane Katrina.
President Bush, before a skeptical audience in the General Assembly chamber,
sought to sell his blueprints for spreading democracy in Iraq and elsewhere,
overhauling the United Nations and expanding trade.
He urged compassion for the needy and pressed the global community to "put
the terrorists on notice" by cracking down on any activities that could
incite deadly attacks. "The terrorists must know that wherever they go they
cannot escape justice," Bush told world leaders who sat silently throughout
his speech.
Over 100 Heads of State as the Russian President Vladimir Putin, President
of the People's Republic of China Hu Jintao as well as 50 Heads of
Government among which is Tony Blair, French PM Dominique de Villepin,
Japanese PM Junichiro Koizumi attend the World Summit.
The initial aim of the UN World Summit was to review progress on attacking
world poverty and meeting the Millennium Development Goals, the pivotal
targets on issues such as education, health and hunger agreed five years ago
at the UN Millennium Summit in 2000.
FINAL NEGOTIATIONS WITH WORLD
BANK ON PDPL LOAN
Macedonian Finance Ministry will start Thursday the final negotiations with
the Mission of the World Bank, led by Bruce Courtney, for the first
Programmatic Development Policy Loan (PDPL 1) arrangement.
The First Programmatic Development Policy Loan is the first in a series of
three loans to be disbursed in the next few years, and supports the
three-year midterm program and structural reforms in Macedonia's economy.
The Finance Ministry said that the US 30 million loan is repayable in 17
years, including a five-year grace period.
Macedonia is expecting the Second and the Third PDPL to be disbursed in the
next two years, once the country meets the conditions set out in the
three-year program agreed by the Macedonian Government and World Bank's
team. |
