Adoption of the agenda
The situation in Angola
The President
I should like to inform the Council that I have received letters from the representative of Angola, in which he requests to be invited to participate in the discussion of the item on the Council’s agenda. In conformity with the usual practice, I propose, with the consent of the Council, to invite that representative to participate in the discussion, 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.
The President
The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.
I should like to draw the attention of members of the Council to the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Observer Mission in Angola, document S/1997/741.
Members of the Council have before them document S/1997/750, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council’s prior consultations.
I should like to draw the attention of the members of the Council to the following revision to be made to the text of the draft resolution contained in document S/1997/750, in its provisional form.
In operative paragraph 2, the reference should be to paragraph 4 of resolution 1127 (1997).
It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution (S/1997/750) before it, as orally revised, in its provisional form. Unless I hear any objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
There being no objection, it is so decided.

The President
There were 15 votes in favour. The draft resolution, as orally revised, in its provisional form, has been adopted unanimously as resolution 1130 (1997).
The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.
The Security Council will remain seized of the matter.
