29. In reiterating its thanks, from this rostrum, to the nations which have contributed to the events now taking place, Mexico pledges that it will live up to the commitment which has been assumed. We likewise feel sure that everyone, participants and spectators, when they return home from my country at the close of the games, will be able to bear witness to having lived, even if only for a short time, in a community which, while not isolated from the problems and tensions of these days of transition and crisis, of challenge and hope, has long taken pride in seeking to establish friendly ties with all peoples, races and shades of opinion throughout the world, provided that they love peace and are prepared to help towards bringing equality among men to an every-day reality.
