The President

I should like to inform the Council that I have received a letter from the representative of Angola, in which she 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.

At the invitation of the President, Mrs. Coelho Da Cruz (Angola) took a seat at the Council table.

Members of the Council also have before them document S/1998/850, which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by Kenya, Portugal, the Russian Federation, Slovenia and the United States of America.
