I have the honour to refer to my letter dated 7 April 1997 to the President
of the Security Council (S/1997/307) by which I informed the members of the
Council of the extension by a further six months of the Office of my
Representative in Phnom Penh in keeping with the spirit and principles of the
Paris Agreements.
I wish to inform you in this regard that, following consultations with the Government of Cambodia, I have decided to appoint Mr. Lakhan L.
Mehrotra (India) as my Representative in Cambodia, succeeding Mr. Benny Widyono. He will
continue to be assisted by one military adviser.
(Signed) Kofi A. ANNAN
