UN ASSEMBLY PLENARY -- TAKE 8

     The Foreign Minister of Yemen, Mr. AL-ERYANI, then turned to the
     Iran-Iraq conflict and called for the removal of all barriers
     towards a durable peace.  He added that Iran should be persuaded
     to expedite the exchange of prisoners of war since that would be
     the litmus test to determining its ultimate readiness for a
     comprehensive peace.

     In the Horn of Africa, he supported all measures aimed at
     negotiations and respect for territorial integrity and
     non-interference in the internal affairs of other States.  He
     urged the fraternal countries of Sudan and Ethiopia to resolve
     their differences through negotiations.

     The presentation of the territorial integrity of Afghanistan and
     its right to self-determination without outside interference
     represented the cornerstone for a comprehensive and definitive
     settlement of that problem.  He urged full implementation of the
     Geneva Accords.

     The destabilization of the front-line States in southern Africa
     by South Africa, he said, was reprehensible.  The international
     community was duty bound to help the heroic people of South
     Africa and to bring all pressures to bear on the racist regime
     to end their hated policies of apartheid.  He called on all
     countries, particularly the major powers, to stand by the United
     Nations in its plan for the independence of Namibia.

     Mr. AL-ERYANI expressed support for the conversion of the
     partial test-ban treaty to a comprehensive one, and for the
     proposals for the non-militarization of outer space.  The United
     Nations must shoulder its responsibility with regard to
     disarmament and the demilitarization of space, he said.  He
     added that the Indian Ocean should be devoid of external
     military presences and be speedily recognized as a zone of
     peace.

     With regard to overall disarmament in the world, he said the
     Zionist entity had continued to test intermediate nuclear
     missiles casting an aura of anxiety over the Middle East.

     Disarmament and development were closely linked.  The gap between
     rich and poor continued to widen and billions were still spent
     on arms while the developing countries suffered from poverty and
     misery.  The present international economic system needed to be
     amended.  The new international economic order should be
     established.  International economic relations needed to be
     rebuilt on the principles of equality and justice.

     His country, Mr. AL-ERYANI said, had benefited from the
     establishment of the Arab Co-operation Council by Jordan, Iraq,
     Egypt, and Yemen.  The Council aimed at improving the social,
     economic and cultural conditions of all its members.  Together
     with the Maghreb Union and the Gulf Co-operation Council, that
     body was helping Yemen in developing to its fullest potential.
