Iraqi National Conference looks
to 'reconciliation and peace'

Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has welcomed the Iraqi National
Conference as a 'vitally important stage' in building the
country's political future.

The National Conference brings together around 1,000
representatives from across Iraq's religious, ethnic and
social spectrum to discuss the future of the country.

The Iraqi people, helped by the United Nations, designed the
conference as part of the political process. The process
will lead to free and fair elections and a fully
representative, democratically elected government.

Mr Straw said such a gathering would never have happened
under the previous regime.

"The delegates are holding wide-ranging discussions
including on security, politics and reconstruction of Iraq,"
he said.

"They will not be intimidated by extremist violence. Most
importantly they are due to select a 100-member council
which will hold the Interim Iraqi Government to account
until the first set of elections take place in early 2005."

Mr Straw said he was under no illusion that Iraq still has a
long way to go.

"It is clear that the wounds are deep, and security problems
will continue. But the National Conference is a significant
step along the road to reconciliation and a peaceful future
for all Iraqis."

Maar allemaal weinig inhoudelijk, of waarvan je denkt, "dat
gaat de goede kant op".
