We welcome the General Assembly resolution on System-wide Coherence and the establishment of UN Women, as a dedicated entity to deal with gender-related issues. We hope that this new entity will strengthen the UN's institutional capacity for the support of gender equality and the empowerment of women. My delegation wishes to congratulate Mrs. Michelle Bachelet on her appointment as the first head of UN Women.
