106. At this point, I cannot help paying tribute to Indian statesmanship, which has shown rare judgement in making a clear distinction between the question of ensuring a legitimate place for the People's Republic of China in the United Nations on the one hand, and the difficulties, serious difficulties, that India has encountered in its relations with China on the other, and has not let its attitude toward the one colour its judgement in the other. Neither the Sino-Indian differences nor the Sino-Soviet differences have led either India or the Soviet Union to stand in the way of the proper representation of China in the world Organization; instead, they have taken considerable initiative in the matter. And it would be a real additional contribution to peace if the Sino-American differences in a similar manner were not to stand in the way of China's legitimate representation in the United Nations.
