UN General Assembly
1959

104. In the first place we must refer to the tension between the great Powers which, threatening as it does the peace and security of the world, concerns us all. It was therefore natural that public attention should be focused on the meetings to be held between the Heads of Government of the United States and the Soviet Union, following on the talks recently held in Europe between the principal leaders of the Western Powers. My own country is not directly concerned with the matters which gave rise to those meetings; but in view of our desire to preserve peace, on which the survival of human life on our planet may perhaps depend, we feel bound to express our views with regard to such talks.
