1. “With regard to the inter-Congolese dialogue, my delegation would like to stress the need to urgently provide the necessary financial and logistical support to Sir Ketumile Masire, the neutral facilitator, to enable him to undertake his important task in the peace process. The holding of the inter-Congolese dialogue is indispensable to the successful implementation of the peace process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have endured a great deal of suffering. The international community needs to respond urgently to the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in order to enable the people in that country to lead a normal life. We strongly believe that the deployment of phase II of MONUC could be a start in achieving that objective. The time to act is now.”

2. “It is clear from the report that all the signatories of the Lusaka Ceasefire Agreement are prepared to honour their commitments towards the full implementation of the peace process. We note in this regard the eagerness of the signatories to implement the Lusaka process. The recent signing of the status-of-forces agreement and the progress made so far in the implementation of the plan for the disengagement of forces presents the Security Council with the opportunity to fully and immediately deploy phase II of the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC). It is important that this be done without further delay in order to avoid creating a vacuum.”

3. “My delegation would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this meeting on the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the same vein, I would like to commend the Security Council for undertaking a mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The meetings that members of the mission had with the leadership and other leading players in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and those held with the leaders of the neighbouring countries visited have, we hope, enhanced the Security Council's understanding and appreciation of the situation on the ground. The report presented to the Council by Ambassador Richard Holbrooke of the United States, who headed the mission, gives us hope and encouragement.”
