The Council welcomed the Secretary-General's efforts to support the full implementation of agreements between El Salvador and the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FNLM). It also noted that, sixteen months after the ceasefire was announced, the peace process had advanced significantly and emphasised that remaining problems do not become obstacles to the peace process. El Salvador, the Council noted, had asked the United Nations to monitor the elections that were to take place in March 1994 and the United Nations accepted the invitation.
