I did not miss the core of the news here, simply look at it from a different
angle than you do.
A small step... in a highway paved of a long and painful history of
asymmetry and misunderstanding. I insist on using this small step not as a
one more opportunity for an UN event and celebration, but as a major step
towards discussing "North-South cooperation" and revitalizing our own
South-South cooperation 365 days a year.
