205. As far as Greece is concerned, its struggles against colonialism, fascism and imperialism are well known and proved by its attitude during the two World Wars. Today, that struggle continues by peaceful means. We are at the side of the oppressed peoples, and we offer our unreserved support to the nations of Africa still under the colonial yoke. 206. Our position concerning racial discrimination is also clear-cut and unequivocal. It is not by accident that Greece, which has in its 3,000 years of history experienced all possible social and political phenomena, has never known racial discrimination. 207. My delegation is particularly happy to state that in all questions that matter, Greece stands at the side of our African friends not only because their aspirations are legitimate, but also because the Greek people has worked its way, and continues to do so, through every single stage of the struggle the African peoples are waging today towards the attainment of freedom, economic independence and development.
