UN General Assembly
1960

At this stage of the general debate, after the full discussion we have had, it is not without some reluctance that I venture to make a few comments on behalf of the delegation of Ceylon on only a few world problems that concern all of us vitally. Our agenda is a heavy one. It contains items on important and basic issues which deal with world peace and security and the political, economic and social welfare of all peoples represented here at this General Assembly. I should like to deal with most of these, but shall refrain from doing so, as I realize the great volume of work this Assembly has yet to do and the urgent need to get down to business in plenary as well as in the Committees at the earliest possible time.
