UN General Assembly
1957

7. The delegation of the People's Republic of Bulgaria hopes that, during the current session, the General Assembly will succeed in taking constructive decisions on the items on its agenda, thus contributing to the strengthening of peace and understanding between peoples and establishing a solid foundation for subsequent co-operation between nations. It can do so if the Members of the United Nations make the effort required for a practical settlement of the most urgent international issues. 8. The present course of events in the Middle East, in other words, in close proximity to our country, is being followed with keen interest and attention by the whole population of Bulgaria. The explanation is not hard to find. With the technical facilities of today, any important event, any disturbance in no matter what country has repercussions and effects on other countries, particularly on neighbouring ones.
