UN General Assembly
1980

122. As for the Secretary-General, the indefatigable apostle of peace, whose merits are well known to all, I should like to assure him of the total support of my Government in his often difficult, delicate and tireless work to strengthen and ensure the fulfilment of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. 123. I should also like to welcome with pride and warmth the admission this year of two new Members to this great family of the United Nations, the Republic of Zimbabwe and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. On behalf of my country I sincerely wish them every success in their very difficult task of national reconstruction and development. 124. The admission of a new Member of this concert of nations is always an important event, bearing witness to the vitality of the Organization and also strengthening its universality, and it is an encouraging sign that our noble ideas are being spread throughout the world.
