UN General Assembly
1980

152. Nevertheless, we feel that the thirty-fifth session does offer us another opportunity to hold discussions and to reach a compromise that would be satisfactory to all. In this connection, my delegation welcomes the good will demonstrated by the United States in the statement made on 22 September 1980 by the United States Secretary of State, Mr. Muskie [4th meeting] and we hope that other countries will follow that example. 153. Despite the semi-failure of the eleventh special session, my delegation cannot but express its satisfaction over the consensus that emerged on the text of the International Development Strategy for the Third United Nations Development Decade, which will begin on 1 January 1981. We welcome the set of measures advocated for more active and more equitable North-South co-operation. 154. We hope that the international community will give effect to those measures as a whole, with a view to the real establishment of a new international economic order, once they have been adopted by the General Assembly.
