1. “In conclusion, we should like to reiterate our appreciation for the efforts carried out by the Secretary-General and by his Special Representative, Mr. Aldo Ajello, in pursuit of the implementation of the Rome Agreement. Portugal fully supports the draft resolution before the Council, and I wish to reaffirm my Government's active commitment and support in the coming crucial period to contribute to the solution of outstanding problems. The success of the peace process in Mozambique is of the utmost importance. It will contribute significantly to the peace and Stability of the region and will permit <he creation of the necessary conditions for the economic reconstruction that: Mozambique so rightly deserves.”

2. “Portugal is participating actively in the peace process through its role in the Commissions to monitor and implement the objectives set forth in the agreement. At the bilateral level we are involved in the formation and training of a new unified Mozambican armed forces. Furthermore, we are participating fully in the United Nations Operation in Mozambique (ONUMOZ), having contributed a Portuguese Army communications battalion to this United Nations peace-keeping operation. We consider the role and the continued involvement of the United Nations in the peace process to be essential, and it is our belief that without the United Nations peace and stability will not come to Mozambique in the foreseeable future.”

3. “It is with great satisfaction that we acknowledge that the cease-fire has largely held and that the parties have continued to exercise restraint. In our view, this is of the utmost importance since, after 16 years of devastating conflict, the Mozambican people can now look forward to an era of peace and stability for the near future. Nevertheless, there are some sources of concern in the current situation, the importance of which must not be underestimated. In this respect, the timetable for the implementation of the cease-fire arrangements, including that concerning the assembly of troops and their demobilization, cannot be delayed any longer. Portugal urges the parties to implement all aspects of the Rome Agreement fully and without further delays.”

4. “First of all I should like to congratulate you, Sir, on the very competent way in which you have been conducting the work of the Council during the current month. I should also like to express sincere congratulations to your predecessor, Ambassador Terence O'Brien, for the efficient manner in which he guided the deliberations of the Council during the month of March. Portugal and Mozambique have a very special relationship based on historical and cultural ties developed over many centuries. Today we maintain a close friendship and have a sound level of cooperation at several levels. Portugal has followed with great interest and fully supported from the very beginning the peace process in Mozambique and has participated, in its capacity as observer, in the negotiations that led to the General Peace Agreement signed in Rome.”
