Media Release 

30 / 01/2009

 

The Permanent Mission of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste to the
United Nations this month chaired the Asian Group of nations for the first
time ever.

 

The Chairmanship of the Group rotates monthly among its 53 member states.

 

Tasks for the Mission included taking responsibility for all communication
within the Group and between the Group and the other regional Groups
(Africa, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Latin America), organizing and
chairing the monthly Group meeting and updating the candidature chart.

 

H E Ambassador Nelson dos Santos personally chaired the Group's January
meeting on the 26th, providing effective leadership. Delegates expressed
their satisfaction with the manner in which the chairmanship was conducted
at the end of the meeting.

 

Timor-Leste successfully led the Group in endorsing several of its members
as candidates for various committees and commissions within the UN system.

 

Despite the relative newness of the Mission to the UN system, it handled the
extra responsibilities well and has set the foundation for taking on
chairmanships and other projects in future.
