"I voted in favour of this document, because it includes important amendments. It has to be welcomed that disarmament becomes an essential element of the agreement – to be more precise – on a par with democratic principles, human rights and the rule of law. These are very important provisions, contributing to peacekeeping and security in the region, as well as respect for human rights and the development of democracy. The principle of aid effectiveness (as a development cooperation objective) and priority for operations, which contribute, in particular, in the fight against poverty, towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), have been added to the agreement.
It should be noted that obviously, from a South African development perspective, extending cooperation to many new areas is a point in the revised agreement’s favour; and, moreover, extending cooperation in this way, which was provided for in the original 1999 agreement as simply a possibility, is what both sides wanted. Moreover, it is also important that much attention is focused on commercial, economic and free-market concerns, which should contribute to the region’s economic development."@en1
