		Foreign Secretary:If you mean by that did we decide to prepare for such a fighting force to invade Kosovo or Serbia, the answer is no, we have no intention of carrying out such an invasion, we have no plans to do such an invasion, there has been no change in our policy on this question.

		Foreign Secretary: Well the standard advice to Foreign Ministers when asked this Question is to lower expectations, so I am not going to talk up what may happen then but I do want to stress that we have always kept the door open to Russia for dialogue and for diplomacy.

		FOREIGN SECRETARY STRAW: Can I just add on this that I think, Mark, the point you make had some justification against the whole of the west, not just the US, at the time of the Cold War, but there has really been a very significant sea change.
		SECRETARY RICE: First, let me not respond to what was necessarily a paraphrase of what the Vice President said, but the point is that the prospect of an Iranian nuclear weapon is deeply de-stabilizing.
		FOREIGN SECRETARY STRAW: Can I just say that the discussions which have arisen as a result of the Brussels Agreement in November include the issue of the nuclear dossier, but they also include wider issues, including the need for Iran to change its position in respect of the Middle East, and above all its neighbors.

		SECRETARY POWELL: Well, "technical" is an important word in light of recent events in the United States with respect to elections, so I will not prejudge what the Israeli people might be doing at this very moment.
		SECRETARY POWELL: Jaw-boning is not a bad term, and as a practical matter that's pretty much all we can do right now, and hope that the leaders in the region recognize the absolute importance in controlling the passions and controlling the emotions.

		So yes, as the Secretary said, there are varying reports of different opinions at the moment, but everybody has agreed of the seriousness of the deceit and delay of Saddam Hussein and the threat that he poses and of the need for it to be dealt with.
		And to repeat a point made by Secretary Powell, we in the United Kingdom Government are in exactly the same position as the United States Government, and I think the whole rest of the world.

	FIRST PART: FOREIGN AFFAIRS SECRETARY DELIA ALBERT'S SPEECH AT THE MOPC
		To make sure that Philippine foreign policy would not only be truly relevant but also focused, President Arroyo has identified specific realities of the regional and international environment that would guide Philippine foreign policy under her leadership.
		The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs through the 2,332 men and women who represent us in the Home Office and in our 85 posts abroad, is often said to be our first line of defense against such issues as terrorism, transnational crime, and regional tensions and instability.
		It should be pointed out however, that just as we are in a position to prevent unwanted foreign influences or events from affecting our country, we are also in the best position to attract or negotiate for much needed foreign investment, transfer of technology and development assistance.
