My country, Zaire, reaffirms the provision8 of resolution 660 (1990) and it believes that if the resolution is accepted and implemented by Iraq it provides the best possible solution and the only way to avoid a widespread conflict in the region.

To all these steps taken in the queet for an honourable and peaceful settlement of the crisis, Iraq ha8 responded with Contempt and provocatione.
