UN General Assembly
1965

43. So there is a fairly wide area of agreement — fairly wide but not complete, because there are some countries in the world that are not agreed yet on the necessity of ending all nuclear tests and of preventing the dissemination of nuclear weapons. France, unfortunately, has not signed the nuclear test-ban Treaty and, I regret to say, is continuing tests. More disturbing is the fact that Communist China has embarked on a programme of nuclear tests. I say this is more disturbing because that Government has been adopting, and is still adopting, an aggressive posture in the world together with a denial of the conception of peaceful coexistence. It therefore cannot but disturb all of us, and particularly those of us who are in that region, that it is arming itself with nuclear weapons. Unfortunately also, the Government of Indonesia has not accepted the belief that most of us share that the wider dissemination and proliferation of nuclear weapons is a bad thing. The Foreign Minister of Indonesia said, on 4 August, that Indonesia had no objection to all nations and countries in the world having nuclear weapons; "The more countries that are in possession of atomic and nuclear bombs, the stronger the guarantees that would be given that these weapons of the modern world would not be used”; he said; "We have no objections to all countries having atomic and nuclear bombs".
