UN General Assembly
1979

325. Co-operation with international bodies, particularly those of the United Nations system, and with friendly Governments has been intensified since the Government of Honduras attempted effectively to integrate financial aid and foreign technical assistance in the 1979 to 1983 national development plan. 326. However, a few years short of that date, the world is in full debate on the economic chaos created by the energy crisis. The high price of oil has disrupted the economy of countries, and those which do not produce it are obliged to divert enormous sums of money to obtain it, creating for developing countries lacking in hydrocarbons a really critical situation, since the imperative of development does not allow of delays, vacillations or retrogressions. We therefore hope that the arguments which Mexico put forward yesterday through the person of its illustrious President will help to dissipate as far as possible the heavy clouds at present darkening the horizon of those countries which do not possess these vital elements.
