**Analysis**
The text appears to be a statement made by a representative of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in the United Nations Security Council. The text discusses the importance of achieving real peace in the Middle East, congratulates the President of the Security Council and his predecessor, and welcomes the new Ambassador of the Soviet Union. The text also mentions the recent unification of the two Yemens. Given the context of international relations, diplomacy, and peacekeeping, it is likely that the text is related to international affairs.
