International Affairs: The latest OSCE summit was held for the first time in its history in an Asian capital. What's your take on the results of the Astana Summit?
Marc Perrin de Brichambaut: I think the Astana Summit turned out to be a very positive summit. Twenty-five heads of state were there plus the others at a very high level. It was quite an achievement for our organization. It put back into the limelight the issues of pan-European security after a period where there was much doubt and problems. We managed to have an excellent declaration after many years in which we had problems. The fact is that it includes a very powerful recommitment to upholding the main values, standards and commitments of the organization; the fact is that it is very forward-looking and spans a large spectrum of activities. That's really a big boost for the organization.
