UN General Assembly
1976

204. The United Nations has reached the age of adulthood, which coincides with clear thinking and wisdom. May this fourth decade of the United Nations promise us a happy future in international relations. The countries which up to now wished to be the sole masters of the conduct of international affairs and the only guarantors of peace and security in the world will now wish to accept the principle that others, who also desire understanding and harmony, will make their valuable and indispensable contribution to the search for a world in which friendship and brotherhood reign in a climate of solidarity, mutual assistance and understanding. 205. Permit me to take up all these problems in order to express the views of my Government on each of them.
