39. Before concluding, the Greek delegation deems it useful to reassert the firm intention of the Greek Government to continue in its policy of good relations with all countries of the international community, irrespective of differences in political and social systems. Greece has always based its policy on respect for the sovereignty, independence, dignity and legitimate interests of other States. It has scrupulously applied the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. The ways and means it has employed In the implementation of that policy are the peaceful ways and means laid down in the United Nations Charter and in international law. Greece has succeeded in establishing relations ranging from normal to friendly with almost all the Members of our Organization, and it will not fail to do its utmost to expand and improve those relations. 40. The continued efforts made quite recently by the Greek Government to improve its relations with Turkey, which have been in a state of serious crisis for several years, must be viewed in this context.
