UN General Assembly
1974

21. May I from this rostrum discharge the pleasant duty of conveying once more to the Secretary-General, Mr. Kurt Waldheim, our special thanks for his untiring efforts in the service of the United Nations dedicated to enhancing the contribution and effectiveness of the Organization in solving the complex problems of our time and to strengthening its prestige in the world. We are convinced that the lively dialog between the leaders of the Socialist Republic of Romania and the Secretary-General will proceed in the context of concerted efforts aimed at strengthening the United Nations. 22. This session of the General Assembly can be proud that an important step has been taken towards achieving the universality of the Organization. I refer to the admission to membership in the United Nations of Guinea-Bissau, Bangladesh and Grenada. On behalf of the Romanian Government, I should like to extend to them our most sincere congratulations and our welcome to the Organization, and to pledge our full co-operation in the promotion of the aims and principles of the Charter.
