91. My Government invariably supports guaranteeing the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Cyprus and eliminating all kinds of foreign intervention. We maintain that the internal problems of the island country are for the Cypriots alone to solve, taking account of the interests of the Greek and Turkish communities. 92. Turning now to Asia, my delegation is pleased to note that the conditions for a lasting relaxation of tensions in that part of the world are gradually emerging. This process is largely enhanced by the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, which, established in July last, is a stable factor of peace and security in South-East Asia. Unfortunately, the admission of that country to the United Nations has so far been blocked. The interests of international peace clearly demand that the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam should, at this very session, occupy its rightful place among the States Members of our Organization. 93. My Government welcomes the active participation of the Lao People's Democratic Republic and of Democratic Kampuchea in international political life.
