UN General Assembly
1971

221 v The Central African Republic, consistent with the principle of universality of our Organization, has followed developments in the question of the representation of China in the United Nations with interest. However, in the opinion of my Government the universal character of our Organization should not be promoted to the detriment of its moral authority. We are not opposed to having the People's Republic of China join the efforts of the international community to carry out the goals and principles of ifie United Nations. My country, however, will not tolerate the idea of expelling the Republic of China, a peace-loving country which has maintained excellent relations at all levels and in all ways with the people of the Central African Republic, a country which, in addition, ever since the creation of our Organization has been a responsible and loyal Member.
