Mr. Nyakyi (United Republic of Tanzania)
My delegation takes seriously all recommendations of the Security Council. In the discharge of its responsibilities for the maintenance of international peace and security, the Council is entitled to receive the fullest possible cooperation from all Members of the United Nations.

Mr. Aguilar (Guatemala)
