最近几个星期，联合国秘书处以外的外交活动在加紧，最终，我于星期二在日内瓦主持了一个会议，与伊朗伊斯兰共和国、俄罗斯联邦和土耳其共和国三国外交部长会晤。秘书长全程密切参与这次会议。三位外交部长向联合国提出了关于宪法委员会的重要的共同名单。这份重要名单部分吸收了我的建议，由50个名字组成，是他们提出的宪法委员会“三分之一中间派”的名单。
In recent weeks, diplomacy beyond the United Nations Secretariat has intensified, leading to a meeting that I hosted in Geneva on Tuesday with the Foreign Ministers of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Turkey. The Secretary-General was closely involved throughout. The three Foreign Ministers provided the United Nations with significant joint input regarding the constitutional committee. That significant joint input comprised 50 names, drawing partly on my own suggestions, as their proposal for the middle third list for the constitutional committee.
