  1. “The Portuguese authorities welcomed the attention of the Security Council to the East Timorese transition towards independence and hopes it will continue to keep the issue under close consideration. Portugal remains firmly committed to work together with Indonesia and the United Nations for the implementation of the New York agreements.”

  2. “Despite all efforts and public pronouncements of the Indonesian Government, there still prevails a lack of control over the activities carried out by some militia elements along the border. Therefore, Portugal would like to call on the Indonesian authorities, in particular its military forces, to cooperate more closely with UNTAET to completely disarm and disband the militias in order to end cross-border incursions from West Timor and to bring to justice those militia members responsible for crimes. Portugal regrets the difficulties experienced in, and the slow pace of, the return of East Timorese refugees remaining in West Timor. We also wish to express our great concern at the continued militia presence in the refugee camps and their intimidation of the staff of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.”

  3. “Despite all the efforts that were made by UNTAET to find a solution to the refugee problem and to secure the border, we must recognize that the dialogue with Indonesian authorities has not yet produced the expected results. It is with deep regret that I express the serious concern of the Portuguese Government over the killing of a New Zealand peacekeeper by elements that had crossed the border from West Timor to East Timor. Portugal deeply regrets the situation and has already conveyed through appropriate channels its condolences and solidarity to the Government of New Zealand and the family of Private Leonard William Manning. These regrettable events overshadow the East Timorese transition process towards independence.”

  4. “At the outset, allow me to thank the Secretary-General for his excellent report on the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) and Assistant Secretary-General Annabi for his comprehensive briefing. We welcome the measures that were taken with regard to reinforcing the capacity-building of the East Timorese, namely through their participation in the transitional Government. We also welcome and commend the efforts carried out by the UNTAET through the able leadership of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Sergio Vieira de Mello, regarding the rehabilitation of the infrastructures and the setting up of mechanisms and systems in the fields of education, health and judicial administration.”
