Question
If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities.
Answer

My right hon. Friends the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for International Development and I led a ministerial team for this year's UN General Assembly ministerial week. The Prime Minister's personal commitment contributed significantly to the success of the Secretary-General's high-level event on the millennium development goals. I took forward our work on several of our top-priority foreign policy issues, from Pakistan to Afghanistan to Burma. The Security Council agreed a new resolution on Iran, and I had useful discussions on Somalia, Sudan, the middle east peace process, Georgia and international peacekeeping.
