UN General Assembly
1958

18. The Albanian Government and people, as emphasized in our Government's declaration of 15 September 1958, whole-heartedly support their friends and allies, the people of China, in their just cause. On 1 October, two days from now, the great Chinese people will be celebrating the ninth anniversary of their historic victory over feudal and imperialist oppression and the anniversary of the proclamation of the People's Republic of China which in so short a time has become a factor for peace and progress in Asia and throughout the world. The Albanian people wish them complete victory in their efforts to liberate Taiwan and the other occupied Chinese islands, and further success in the peaceful reconstruction of their country. 19. An important factor in the increase of international tension is the armaments race, which has how passed the bounds of all imagination. We believe that any agreement or any measure to limit or restrict the armaments race would contribute directly to a relaxation of tension and to the safeguarding of peace.
