146. Many trouble-spots in the world, such as Cyprus and Viet-Nam, are causing great concern to all of us. Although there has been relative quiet for the past few months in Cyprus, the basic situation there remains unchanged. As for the evolution of a commonly acceptable formula regarding the two Cypriot communities, no real progress has been achieved so far. The quiet atmosphere which now prevails in the Island is tenuous. Under difficult conditions, the manner in which the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus, in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, has been able to prevent an occasional recurrence of fighting is indeed very encouraging. I should like to reiterate here the firm view of His Majesty's Government of Nepal that the future of the Cypriot people must be settled by themselves in co-operation with the peace-keeping efforts of the United Nations and without any outside interference.
