Expression of thanks to the retiring President
The President
I should like to take this opportunity to pay tribute, on behalf of the Council, to His Excellency Mr. John Bolton, Permanent Representative of the United States, for his service as President of the Security Council for the month of February 2006. I am sure I speak for all members of the Council in recognizing Ambassador Bolton's great diplomatic skill with which he conducted the Council's business last month.
Adoption of the agenda
The situation between Eritrea and Ethiopia
Report of the Secretary-General on Ethiopia and Eritrea (S/2006/140)
The President
The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.
Members of the Council have before them document S/2006/140, containing the report of the Secretary-General on Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Members of the Council also have before them document S/2006/155, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council's prior consultations.
It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. Unless I hear any objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
There being no objection, it is so decided.
