It is in this spirit of cooperation and bridge-building that 56 foreign ministers – representing the US, Canada, and European countries, including the Russian Federation and the rest of the former Soviet Union – will meet in Athens on December 1-2 on my invitation to discuss the future of European security. The talks mark the continuation of the “Corfu Process,” anchored in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which began with an informal ministerial meeting on Corfu in June.
正是本着这种合作和搭桥精神，来自美国、加拿大、俄罗斯联邦及前苏联其它加盟共和国等欧洲国家的56国外长将应我邀请于12月1到2日在雅典召开会议，探讨欧盟安全未来等议题。这次会谈标志着“科孚进程”的延续，该进程在欧洲安全与合作组织支持下，始于6月在科孚岛召开的非正式部长会议。
