I believe there is a right balance of interests that can be found to enable us to launch the multilateral negotiations at the upcoming ministerial meeting. It's very important for the global economy that we do so, and it's very important for world politics that we do so, |

I've always believed that openness is America's trump card. |
It is a very fluid situation ... the process of SLM coherence is proceeding. |
It is vital that my country and others support fair and free elections in Nicaragua, |
It would be a grave mistake to permit any one country to veto America's drive for global free trade. |
It's clear that the different elements of the SLM are going to have to come together in some fashion, which only they can determine, if the Abuja peace negotiations can proceed successfully, |
It's hard for me to believe that in the position we're in now we'll be able to finish on time, |

My concluding point with the SLM was that we want to help them, but to help them they need to help us be able to deal with the united movement, |
needs a political transition to make its government responsible and accountable to its people. |
Nobody is left here. |

Since the day started with the fact that I had a hard time getting them in the room together, I think there was some progress by getting them to listen to my ... message and listen to the views of our international partners, |
