The Council observed that talks between the Tajikistan government and United Tajik Opposition were successfully completed and an agreement was concluded on 27 June 1997. It was noted that the implementation of the General Agreement would require the effort of all parties and the support of the United Nations and the international community, particularly as the situation in Tajikistan remained volatile.

As recommendations from the Secretary-General regarding the expansion of UNMOT's mandate were approved, the parties were called upon to fully implement the General Agreement and to resume work on the Commission on National Reconciliation in the capital Dushanbe.[2] They also had to guarantee the safety and freedom of movement of United Nations, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and other international peacekeeping personnel.

The resolution concluded by directing the Secretary-General Kofi Annan to provide additional ways to ensure the safety of United Nations personnel and to keep the Council informed on developments in Tajikistan.
