我们认为，如果苏丹政府真的关心其公民的福祉和保护，就没有理由不同意。联合国部队将通过协助苏丹政府执行《达尔富尔和平协议》来支持苏丹政府，而该协议是苏丹政府签署并支持的。我愿再次强调，联合国部队去那里是为了支持苏丹政府。我们希望与其合作，这支联合国部队将有非洲的大力参与和强烈的非洲色彩。它对苏丹主权的侵犯不会比联合国苏丹特派团（联苏特派团）在苏丹南部更严重，而联苏特派团是苏丹政府表示欢迎并予以接受的部队。
We believe that if the Government of the Sudan is genuinely concerned about the welfare and protection of its citizens, there is no reason for it not to give its consent. A United Nations force will act in support of the Government of the Sudan by assisting it in implementing the DPA, which the Government of the Sudan signed and which it supports. I would like to underscore that point once more: the United Nations force is there to act in support of the Government of the Sudan; we want to work cooperatively with it. This is a United Nations force that will have a strong African participation and character. It will no more infringe on the Sudan’s sovereignty than has the United Nations Mission in the Sudan (UNMIS) in southern Sudan — and UNMIS is a force that the Government of the Sudan has welcomed and has accepted.
