UN General Assembly
1960

15. My Government is interested in promoting the industrialization of Bolivia and in making use of the tremendous economic potential which lies in its undeveloped natural resources. In order to achieve this purpose, we require international co-operation, but co-operation of a kind that will enable us to assist the basic industries which are destined under the Government’s plans to increase public wealth. In his speech, the President of Bolivia added the following; "The international co-operation afforded by the great Powers, to every part of the world, is of sound inspiration and consonant with the interdependence of contemporary life; it made possible the construction of the European countries after the Second World War and it is now assisting the underdeveloped countries of three continents to proceed stage by stage in their economic development. We would not be sincere if, while reiterating our gratitude and that of the whole Bolivian people for this valuable assistance, we did not at the same time stress our firm belief that international assistance would yield more immediate and beneficial results if it was increased and above all if it was directed into specific development projects.”
