ASEANs success in promoting economic and political development has made a major contribution to the peace and stability of the region. In Afghanistan. the dedicated efforts of the Secretary General and his representatives to find a diplomatic settlement have our strong support. I assure you that the United States will continue to do everything possible to find a negotiated outcome which provides the Afghan people with the right to determine their own destiny. allows the Afghan refugees to return to their own country in dignity and protects the legitimate security interests of all neighboring countries. On the divided and tense Korean peninsula. we have strongly backed the confidencebuilding measures proposed by the Republic of Korea and by the UN Command at Panmunjon. These are an important first step toward peaceful reunification in the long term.
