The President

I should like to inform the Council that I have received letters from the representatives of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, in which they request to be invited to participate in the consideration of the item on the Council's agenda. In conformity with the usual practice, I propose, with the consent of the Council, to invite those representatives to participate in the consideration of the item, without the right to vote, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Charter and rule 37 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure.

There being no objection, it is so decided.

At the invitation of the President, Mr. Ileka (Democratic Republic of the Congo) and Mr. Nsengimana (Rwanda) took seats at the Council table.

There being no objection, it is so decided.

I invite Mr. Doss to take a seat at the Council table.

On behalf of the Security Council, I extend a warm welcome to His Excellency Mr. Karel De Gucht, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Belgium.

The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.
