Mr. Bush, in particular, has not shown a great enthusiasm for multilateral solutions to the world's problems.

But, he added, "Achieving a multilateral solution may take time but efforts can proceed on several tracks."

One notable theme is his advocacy of multilateral solutions to world problems.

For example, Chile said it was willing to help, but only as part of a multilateral solution.

They will only achieve that if we are more successful in making multilateral solutions stick.

Such galloping proliferation can only be prevented if the international community channels all its efforts into effective multilateral solutions.

South Africa and the European Union share the belief that international problems must be resolved by means of multilateral solutions.

The fact is that the European Union has always made clear and unequivocal attempts to achieve an international multilateral solution.

The very nature of the difficulties demands multilateral solutions.

For example, the conclusions endorse multilateral solutions to trans-boundary or global problems.
