Austria is planning to continue its financial contributions to UNIFEM for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). We also plan to host an experts meeting in Vienna in the first half of 2010. We welcome the Secretary-General's positive reply to a letter sent in August 2008 by women leaders, including Austria's then-Foreign Minister Ursula Plassnik. We are satisfied with and grateful for his support in organizing a ministerial-level meeting in 2010 to review the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). My country stands ready to work with the Secretary-General and all interested countries and stakeholders to use this tenth anniversary to identify gaps and challenges and to reinforce the commitment of all States, the entire United Nations system and regional organizations to effectively implementing the undertakings of resolution 1325 (2000).
