153. As Czechoslovakia has constantly emphasized—and as reflected, inter alia, in the joint communique adopted at the conclusion of my July visit to Afghanistan—the key to the much needed political settlement of the situation does exist.

In this connection, we fully support the proposals addressed by the Government of Afghanistan to Iran and Pakistan on 14 May which provide sufficient leeway for all parties who are genuinely interested in negotiating.
