UN General Assembly
1960

15. It seems hardly necessary for me to say that the United Nations has more than fulfilled our expectations. In the recent delicate and complex situation in the Congo the United Nations has rendered the most valuable services and it continues to do so. It has saved the Congo, and perhaps the whole world, from chaos. The Secretary-General, Mr. Hammarskjold, and all his associates deserve our high commendation and gratitude. The Secretary-General in particular, in the face of the most difficult circumstances, has shown a keen insight, great courage and wisdom. The overwhelming vote taken recently in this Assembly is a testimony of our wholehearted approval of his inspiring leadership and his conduct of the operations in the Congo.
