"OSCE Finland representation attaches special importance to the fundamental role of the organization in the prevention and resolution of conflicts and post-conflict reconstruction".
The due announcement was made by Ilkka Kanerva, OSCE chairman-in-office and Finnish Foreign Minister, while delivering speech in Woodrad Vilson's International Center during his visit to the United States.
Kanerva again touched upon unsettled conflicts voicing hope for the peaceful settlement of conflicts in Nagorno Garabagh, Transdniestria and South Osseria.
He recalled his working visit to Baku which took place 20 years ago: "At that time it was a great pity that I was not able to do without a translator: a long speech can be a torture especially when translated, and not only for me but also for the audience. But this was 20 years ago".
Paavo Bayrinen, Finnish Minister of Trade and Development, said addressing the event that the resolution of conflicts in the CIS will have a positive impact on the economic development of the region.
