The delegation of Ecuador for the same reasons which induced it to support the resolution on the problem at the 539th meeting of the Security Council in New York will vote in favour of the draft resolution presented by the United Kingdom and the United States.

At the same time it expresses the hope that, within the period indicated in paragraph 4 of the operative part of the draft resolution, progress will be made towards a greater degree of understanding between the parties so as to bring closer the achievement of the Security Council's intention that the problem finally be solved on the basis of a peaceful, democratic, free and impartial expression of views by the peoples concerned, as is expressly restated in the first paragraph of the operative part of the draft resolution.
