UN General Assembly
1957

193. Now that this Organization embraces the participation of an ever-increasing number of nations, representing the great majority of mankind, confidence will grow that the United Nations is the most effective instrument to deal with the conflicts and crises which sometimes are unavoidable. In extending our most sincere congratulations to our sister nations, Ghana and the Federation of Malaya, I cannot fail to regret that the question of the proper representation of China is not yet settled. My delegation considers this a great obstacle in the normalization of international relations, and any delay in solving this problem will certainly do harm to ourselves rather than impede the Chinese people in their national endeavour.
