DEPUTY SECRETARY NEGROPONTE: Well my main message to our friends at the United Nations who are working here in the Cote d’Ivoire is that throughout my diplomatic career, I have found that the UN can make an indispensable contribution to peace and security where it is threatened and I know that they made a very valuable contribution here as well as elsewhere on the African continent.
