We also believe that the establishment of a set of indicators, as foreseen in resolution 1889 (2009), might serve as a useful means by which we can monitor and track the implementation of measures at the global level. Thus, the new gender entity recently agreed upon by the General Assembly in its resolution 63/311 will also strengthen our work towards women's empowerment by helping the United Nations pursue its efforts in a more systemized and coordinated manner in the area of women and peace and security. Furthermore, like my Russian colleague Ambassador Churkin, we believe that the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) relating to the status of women are important. The implementation of those MDGs will no doubt reinforce the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000).
