UN General Assembly

181. We are sincerely gratified to see East-West relations develop in a more satisfactory manner and the appearance of broader prospects for a "détente" in international relations and for disarmament. We have always supported such a course. We therefore view the present turn for the better in international relations as our own success as well as a general achievement, as the vindication of a policy we have constantly pursued. We have always urged the method of negotiation and the policy of coexistence in word and deed as the only realistic policy, the only realistic way out of the impasse into which the cold war and the arms race have led the world.
