UN General Assembly
1979

162. I therefore welcome the signing of the second SALT Treaty by the United States and the Soviet Union, and I wish to express the hope that future negotiations at the third round of SALT will result in further concrete progress in the quantitative reduction and qualitative control of strategic arms. I should like at this time to make a strong appeal once again for the strengthening of the regime for the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, establishing as soon as possible a comprehensive nuclear test ban, and promoting disarmament negotiations relating to non-nuclear weapons, including the prohibition of chemical weapons. 163. Efforts exerted solely in the areas I have mentioned will not suffice to secure world peace and prosperity. Problems pertaining to the world economy present us with important and urgent tasks.
