UN General Assembly
1957

18. An important point on our programme has been to bring about the universality of the Organization. After four years' effort, the Committee of Good Offices, established unanimously by the General Assembly [resolution 718 (VIII)] and consisting of the representatives of Egypt and the Netherlands under the chairmanship of the Peruvian representative, succeeded, with the co-operation of many other countries, Canada in particular, in bringing about an agreement on the admission of new Members. 19. On behalf of the Peruvian Government, I should like to express our goodwill towards all those States which have just joined the United Nations, as well as our regret at the absence of Viet-Nam and Korea, whose unification and presence here justice demands.
