UN General Assembly
1960

171. On behalf of the Japanese Government, I wish to assure the Assembly of my country’s unwavering support of this world organ. Today, when the importance of the United Nations is growing greater than ever for the peace of the world, it is, we believe, the paramount responsibility on the part of all Member States to co-operate in the strengthening of its functions and in the enhancement of its authority and prestige. And it is in this belief that Japan participates in the activities of the United Nations. 172. I wish to clarify the views of the Japanese Government regarding the various important questions which now confront the General Assembly, with special reference to those concerning Africa, the relaxation of international tension, disarmament, and the economic development of the newly developing countries,
