Following is a transcript of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s press conference held in New York today, 14 January:

Question: Any word about the peace process in the Middle East, about Palestine and the Israelis? Not even a word about this, but the direct negotiations have collapsed and the Âé¶¹APP is standing on the side, waiting for the United States. Are you going to be more active on this?
Secretary-General: Yes, of course. I’ve been working very hard, pushing very hard again, trying first of all to reactivate this peace process. It’s quite regrettable and frustrating that the peace process has not been reactivated. I will be having an opportunity of meeting leaders at the level of the Quartet principals early next month, and also I have been discussing this matter with Arab leaders. And I hope we also will be able to meet with those Arab leaders together. But we are in the process of finalizing all these detailed matters. Thank you.
