trying to promote links with other countries of the region and looking for common ground while respecting the particular nature and modalities of each country. We are also trying to strengthen ties with other areas of the developing world, in particular with our fellow countries of the South Atlantic region. In this context, Uruguay reaffirms the importance of the Zone of Peace and Cooperation of the South Atlantic that was solemnly declared pursuant to resolution 41/11 of 27 October 1986. In this framework, we fully share the aims of this declaration and see the zone as an important instrument for promoting cooperation in scientific, political, technical and cultural areas. We are convinced that security and development are inseparable and interrelated, and that any progress in terms of meeting the objectives of the zone will strengthen cooperation between the States of Africa and of the Southern Cone of America. This commitment is all the more evident in the support given by the States of the zone for the peace processes in Angola and Liberia and the Bicesse and Abuja agreements respectively.
