UN General Assembly

183. The entire peace-loving world will welcome the growing sense of responsibility displayed by the leaders of the great powers and reflected also in their determination to remain constantly in contact for the purpose of exchanging views and seeking solutions to international problems. As always in the past, we shall readily support every further initiative contributing towards the easing of international tensions and the solution of controversial issues. The changes for the better in international relations are the result of a long, persevering and consistent struggle of the peace-loving forces in the world and of their increasingly powerful impact. An extremely important role is played by the newly independent and the developing countries, which, as President Tito recently remarked, "by the nature of their position and their interests are on the side of, and are waging a struggle for, peace and a policy of peaceful coexistence".
