UN General Assembly
1960

91. I also wish to express, on behalf of the Yugoslav delegation and in my own name, our satisfaction that the fifteenth session of the General Assembly is being attended by a large number of representatives of new Members of the United Nations, particularly of the African countries that have only recently attained their independence. This increase in membership is of particular significance as it has, in a positive sense, made the structure of United Nations membership more complete; the basic aspirations of the new Members of our Organization are undoubtedly directed towards the consolidation of the independence they have achieved, towards a more rapid internal development, towards a status of equality in the community of nations, and towards a contribution of their own to the preservation of peace and to the stabilization of the world situation,, Such aspirations are fully in accord with the spirit and letter of the Charter of the United Nations.
