UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed his disappointment at the lack of progress at the 190-nation conference in Bali, urging delegates to make compromises in order to end the deadlock over launching talks on a new UN treaty. Ban returned from a visit to East Timor to address the delegates, emphasizing the importance of resolving the dispute over developing nations' demands for more assistance from the rich to address climate change. If the dispute is resolved, the meeting would initiate two years of talks on a new worldwide treaty to succeed the Kyoto Protocol and include the United States and all developing nations. Ban urged delegates to deliver a successful outcome for the peoples of the world. Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono also urged delegates, emphasizing the importance of having an effective road map in order to achieve their envisioned destination. He expressed concern that the project could fail if the right wording is not found, stressing the need to not disappoint the world that is closely observing the progress.
