UN General Assembly
1985

With regard to disarmament, my delegation expresses its concern and regret that efforts to halt the arms race have not more significant progress. On the contrary, there has been a considerable increase in budgets for research into and production of more destructive weapons, conventional as well as nuclear, while, paradoxically, we live in a world in which a high percentage of the population suffers from hunger and poverty. However, we see a ray of hope in the meeting to be held in November in Geneva between the President of the United Status and the leader of the soviet Union. My country hopes that it nay be as fruitful as possible, since, not only the strategic relationship between the two super-Powers , but also matters which affect the fats of the other peoples of the planet are at stake.
