Summary: "United Nations successes in 2006 benefited from P-5 cooperation, especially between the United States and China, Assistant Secretary for International Organizations (IO) Affairs Kristen Silverberg told Assistant Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai. U.S.-China cooperation resulted in the selection of an exceptionally qualified new UNSYG and a new WHO head, A/S Silverberg noted. AFM Cui said that U.S.-China cooperation also made it possible to pass resolutions on the DPRK and Iran nuclear issues. A/S Silverberg said Burma and Haiti still require attention. Cui said China is open to bilateral talks on Burma, will "stand on principle" on the renewal of the MINUSTAH mandate in Haiti and believes further sanctions on Iran will strengthen the hand of hardliners. China considers India, as a representative of the developing world, more deserving of a permanent UNSC seat than Japan, Cui said. A/S Silverberg urged China not to allow the Human Rights Council to be a forum for Israel-bashing, asked Beijing to support the Ugandan candidate for the Global Fund and reiterated invitations to Cui and IO Director General Wu Hailong to visit Washington."
