We share in their hopes and aspirations, 71. The PRESIDENT: The next speaker is the representative of Zimbabwe. I invite him to take a place at the Council table and to make a statement. 72. Mr. MASHAIRE (Zimbabwe): Before I proceed, Madam President, allow me to extend my delegation’s sincere congratulations to you on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the current month. In our opinion, your tenure of this office could not have come at a more appropriate time. As the repre- sentative to the United Nations of one of the super- Powers whose prime function in this body is the maintenance of international peace and security by safeguarding the adherence of the international com- munity to the spirit and letter of the Charter of the United Nations, your judicious handling of the serious issue before the Council will contribute in a large meas- ure towards reinforcing the world’s commitment to the provisions of the Charter that deal specifically with the duties incumbent upon the Security Council. 73. The tension prevailing in certain parts of Central America and the Caribbean is a subject on which various Governments and the Movement of Non- Aligned Countries have expressed great concern.
