94. Racial. discrimination is a phenomenon unknown in my country, where the population is of diverse origin and is going through the process of adapting its characteristics to the environment. Our opposition to any form of discrimination is simply a reflection of that situation. 95. I wish to express my sincere hopes, Mr. President, that, under your guidance and through the constructive action of the delegations of Member States, this new meeting of the nations of the whole world will achieve the results which mankind is expecting. The United Nations will be strengthened if it is able to find solutions to present-day problems and if it is able, even to a small extent, to direct the action of the whole international community towards the maintenance of peace and the promotion of the spiritual and economic progress of all mankind.
