132. Although economic questions account for a large proportion of the activities of our Organization, I shall confine myself here to a brief reference. From the point Of view of the United Nations, as for each of our countries individually, the essential problem is that of assistance, particularly in the form of technical assistance, to countries which are not yet sufficiently developed. As far as we are concerned we shall continue the efforts we have already undertaken in this field through the United Nations and directly on our own initiative. Moreover we attach great importance — hence our strong advocacy of it in the past few years — to the establishment of an economic development fund. We are glad that this year, will see the establishment of the Special Fund which, while not entirely fulfilling our early hopes, will make a valuable contribution.
