UN General Assembly
1965

The steady growth in the power of the People's Republic of China and the increasingly bigger role it plays in international affairs are sufficiently eloquent facts in themselves to show the absurdity, the futility and the danger of the ostracism to which the greatest Asian Power has been subjected for sixteen years. It is absolutely clear that a’ permanent solution to the great international problems, both of peace and disarmament, cannot be achieved without the participation of the People’s Republic of China. These are facts which all the hysteria and all the anti- Chinese campaigns cannot disguise indefinitely. It is not by keeping the People's Republic of China out of all international bodies that we shall be able to solve all the problems which our Organization must face. We ask for the unequivocal restoration of the legitimate rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations and my delegation reserves the right to speak again when this item of the agenda is discussed at the present session.
