1. “The United Nations has already played and will continue to play its role in the political settlement of the Angola question. At this crucial moment in the Angolan peace process, the Chinese delegation supports the United Nations and the international community in their continuous efforts towards a peaceful settlement in Angola, and is in favour of the Secretary-General's suggestion that the United Nations should continue its presence in Angola. We therefore are in favour of extending the mandate of the United Nations Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM II).”

2. “The only solution to the Angola question is to remove differences. and achieve national reconciliation through negotiation and dialogue. It is short-sighted and undesirable for any side to attempt victory by resorting to military force. The peace negotiations between the two Angolan parties, recently held at Abidjan, constituted an important step in the search for a political solution to the Angola question. Regrettably, these failed to achieve the expected result. We hope that the parties concerned in Angola will realize the seriousness of the current situation in Angola and resume their negotiations as soon as possible bearing in mind the long-term national interest. In particular, we urge UNITA to adopt a serious and constructive attitude so as to make substantial progress in the negotiations at an early date.”

3. “Mr. ZHANG Yan (China) (interpretation from Chinese): First of all, Sir, allow me to congratulate you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. I am confident that with your rich experience, wisdom and talent you will successfully quide the work of the Council in June, I would like to take this opportunity also to thank Mr, Yuliy M. Vorontsov, the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation, for his outstanding leadership of the Council's work in the month of May. The Chinese delegation is greatly concerned about the situation in Angola. We have noted with concern that the road to peace for that war-ridden country is full of setbacks and difficulties. We would like to express our deep sympathy with the country and the people of Angola.”
