173. I should like also to stress that my country respects, and will always scrupulously respect, the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and political and social system of neighboring countries and peoples, and of other countries and peoples in the world. 174.

But Kampuchea does reserve its right to defend itself by force of arms if it is the victim of attack or aggression.
