Tbe Peoplers Republic of Bulgaria shares the concern expressed in resolution39/I53 over persistent and increasing tension in parts of the tvlediterranean regionand reaffirms in this respect its conviction, which is also set fortb in tbeHelsinki Final Act, that security in Europe, viewed within the broader context ofworld security, is elosely linked with security in the Mediterranean region.A/40/448 English Page 5 2. The causes for tension in the Mediterranean region are well known. First and foremost is the perennial policy of aggression by Israel vis-i-vis the Palestinian and tbe Arab people of the region. The road to remove this source of tension is only one, namely, through Israelrs recognition of the right of the Palestinian people to establish their own State and through the settlement of alI eontentious issues in the region by peaceful neans. An important role in this respect can be played by the convening of an international conference under tbe auspices of the United Nations with the participation of all parties concerned, including the Palestine Liberation Organization.
