Headline Secretary-General Briefs Correspondents upon Entering UN Headquarters

Caption Description Secretary-General Kofi Annan briefing correspondents upon entering UN Headquarters this morning.
He said that the United Nations team that will leave shortly for Iraq to determine whether elections are possible between now and the end of May will explore what options the Iraqis can agree on. While the task facing the team is described as technical, it is also highly political, and as such leaders must be consulted ""to see what it is that can be agreed to,"" Mr. Annan said. He also said that the topic of the Middle East was discussed during his meetings yesterday in Washington with George W. Bush, President of the United States, and senior officials. On the Middle East, he said that he was ""intrigued"" by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's decision to withdraw settlers from Gaza, adding that he was hopeful the move would provide a new dynamic in pushing the Middle East peace process forward. Reacting to the Israeli leader's announcement, he said that he saw the withdrawal from Gaza as a ""first essential step,"" adding, ""If it does take place, it can really be a very important moment and a new dynamic that can propel the process forward.""
