"Meanwhile, for Thailand, we have maintained, and will continue to maintain, our opposition to any nation, large or small, that seeks to impose its will and domination over ourselves or others. We stand for mutual respect of each country's national identity and its choice of political, economic and social systems, free from external interference in any manner or form. This is the cardinal principle that must govern all interState relations involving Thailand." 106. Thailand has demonstrated its goodwill and willingness to assume friendly and meaningful relations and to live in peace and amity with the countries of IndoChina, on the basis of mutual respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and noninterference in each other's internal affairs. We are gratified that we have received a positive response from all concerned. It is our conviction that mutual trust and confidence can be rebuilt, and our common desire to usher in a new era of peace, progress and security can soon be translated into reality.
