1. “The people of East Timor have taken the first steps towards full independence. They deserve the full support of the international community in this endeavour.”

2. “We remain concerned about the grave humanitarian situation in both East and West Timor. Norway calls on the Indonesian authorities to cooperate fully with international humanitarian agencies to provide support for East Timorese refugees in West Timor and to facilitate the return to East Timor of those East Timorese in West Timor and elsewhere in Indonesia wishing to return. Norway welcomes the decision to be taken today by the Security Council to establish the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET). We are committed to participating in the financing of UNTAET. Norway's commitment to support the people of East Timor will continue beyond the immediate humanitarian needs; we will also allocate development assistance funds for reconstruction and longer-term development needs.”

3. “Norway would like to commend the sustained efforts of the Secretary-General to find a comprehensive and internationally acceptable solution to the question of East Timor and to pursue the consultation process aimed at achieving the independence of East Timor. We would also like to reiterate our high appreciation for the dedication and courage of the United Nations Mission in East Timor (UNAMET) in the implementation of its mandate. We welcome the 19 October decision of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly to declare as void earlier decrees incorporating East Timor in Indonesia. This decision is a significant step in the orderly transfer of authority in East Timor to the United Nations - as a transitional step on the way to full independence for East Timor.”
