The Security Council reaffirmed the Lusaka Ceasefire Agreement that represented a resolution to the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It noted the deployment of United Nations military liaison personnel to the capitals of the signatories of the Ceasefire Agreement signed in Lusaka. All parties were urged to co-operate with the technical survey team dispatched to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to assess conditions for the deployment of a United Nations deployment in the country.
After extending the mandate of the military liaison personnel, the Council requested the Secretary-General Kofi Annan to report on developments in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and on the future presence of the United Nations in the country. Finally, all concerned parties were urged to continue to abide by the provisions of the Ceasefire Agreement.
