**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the financial support provided by governments to the United Nations peace-keeping operation in Cyprus. The focus is on the costs incurred by the troop-contributing governments, including the regular pay and allowances of the troops, as well as extra and extraordinary costs. The text also mentions the total cost of financing the operation, which suggests that the discussion is centered around financial matters rather than specific development or humanitarian issues.
