UN General Assembly
1960

290. Before concluding I should like to state that my Government earnestly desires to co-operate with all the other Members of the United Nations in solving one of the most important problems now confronting the world, namely the need to expand our efforts to help the under-developed countries raise their level of living and to intensify collaboration between advanced countries and countries in process of development. Although many long-range bilateral and multilateral programmes aimed at raising the economic, cultural and social level in vast areas of the world have been put into effect, much remains to be done within the framework of the United Nations. My Government is ready, in the future as in the past, to contribute to such programmes as much as its modest resources will allow.
