UN General Assembly
1968

181. No co-operation in the purposes and principles of the United Nations can outshine that which Member States can offer by respecting and complying with rules of universal validity, each within the framework of its own national jurisdiction. 182. My country receives little foreign aid. The vast domestic task of consolidating its economic infrastructure, of constantly improving social conditions, raising the standard of living, streamlining its political institutions within a democratic framework, stabilizing its monetary basis, achieving comprehensive progress and establishing an atmosphere of peace and justice, order and mutual respect — all this is the result of the dynamic and harmonious dedication of the collective efforts in which the various political and economic sectors of the country are participating under the leadership of a truly representative Government actuated by the noblest of national aspirations. These are the credentials we offer when we take this rostrum and express our views.
