UN General Assembly
1973

108. I reiterate the support of my Government for the liberation movements of Africa, which deserve all our encouragement and praise in their valiant struggle. My Government will give positive effect to the request of President Gowon, as President of the Organization of African Unity, with regard to the recognition of Guinea- Bissau as a sovereign and independent State. 109. May I say, as I said once before in another international forum, that it is not what we achieve which matters but the efforts we make to achieve it. To quote the words of Browning: "This high man, with a great thing to pursue, Dies ere he knows it. That low man goes on adding one to one, His hundred's soon hit." 110. Mr. President, I wholeheartedly trust that where there is war peace will return, and where there is hatred understanding will prevail.
