In Europe alone, there are thousands of military helicopters of different types. Large numbers of helicopters also exist in the key Asian powers, and in the Americas. Any assistance the Governments in these regions can offer would be profoundly appreciated, not least by the people of Darfur.

You all have a invaluable role to play in leadership and advocacy to advance our cause -- the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, who have a uniquely authoritative platform in our world; George Clooney and Don Cheadle, who have voice that resonates far and wide.

I am grateful that I can count on your support, and I wish a most productive gathering.
