presence of the Force is required for the maintenance of the relative security essential to the parties in their peaceful efforts. 37. Before concluding-and I hope that, for a change, I shall not have to speak again in the debate-I should like to express my Government’s sincere appreciation to the Secretary-General, Mr, Waldheim, and to his assistants both here and in Cyprus, the Under-Secretary-General, Mr. Guyer, the Special Representative, Mr. Osorio-Tafall, whose presence I welcome in our deliberations, the Corn- mander of the Force, Major-General Prem Chand, and all their staff, as well as the members of the Force, for their dedicated and constructive work. 38. The PRESIDENT (translation fLom Russian): The next speaker on my list is the representative of Greece on whom I now call. 39. Mr. PANAYOTACOS (Greece): First of all, Mr. Presi- dent, may I be permitted to associate myself with the congratulations and best wishes which have been extended to you on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council? My delegation acknowledges with appre- ciation the skill with which you have prepared the ground for this debate devoted to the question of Cyprus and we wish you every success for the remainder of your term in office. I should also like to thank you for giving the Greek delegation the opportunity to participate in today’s meet- ing and present a few observations on the Secretary- General’s report, which has given us once again an up-to-date, realistic and comprehensive assessment of the situation in Cyprus, as well as of the role of the IJnited Nations presence there during the last six months. 40. The general conclusion that stems from the report in question is undoubtedly that this strife-torn island has to take more steps along the road to a normal state of affairs
