“We fully subscribe to the view that the United Nations capacity in the areas of preventive diplomacy, peacemaking, peace-keeping and peace-building needs to be fully developed and utilized for the common benefit of all mankind, The situation in Angola has been of particular concern to Pakistan. In our expectation for peace, we rejoiced when "Acordos de Paz para Angola" were signed in May 1991. In September 1992, when the people of Angola went to the polls, we felt that the peace that had thus far eluded them was finally within their reach. We hoped that the results of the elections, certified as free and fair by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, would usher in an era of cooperation and harmony in Angola. Unfortunately, however, the results of the elections were not accepted by UNITA.”

I take this opportunity to assure the Security Council that Pakistan, as a Member of the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement and the Organization of the Islamic Conference, will work with its Members in promoting the cause of peace in accordance with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, to which we all are committed.”
