UN General Assembly
1968

Serious discussions concerning the cessation of the arms race and total nuclear disarmament should soon be conducted. The non-nuclear-weapon States should not be deprived of the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. In order to reduce the gulf between the developed and developing nations, the latter nations must have every access to all technical developments with regard to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, without any discrimination and at minimum costs. My Government hopes that the final document [A/7277] of the Conference of Non-Nuclear-Weapon States that took place in Geneva from 29 August to 28 September 1968 is worth considering at the present session of the General Assembly.
