UN General Assembly
1971

158. We should like once again to remind distinguished representatives that the Soviet Union and the other socialist States are guided in their foreign policies by the interests of international security, the principle of the equality of all nations, respect for the sovereignty of each country, and the inadmissibility of interference in the internal affairs of States. The socialist States have never developed relations with any countries at the expense of, or to the detriment of, the interests of others and have done everything possible to ensure that multilateral co-operation between States was built and developed on the basis of the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations.
