33. Since our national revolution of 14 July 1958, Iraq has been pursuing a policy of non-alignment. This policy, which we share with many other countries, has proved to be an important factor in the preservation of world peace and the lessening of international tensions. The soundness of the policy of non-alignment was clearly demonstrated when, barely three years after the first Conference of Non-Aligned Countries in Belgrade, a second conference was held in Cairo, in which nearly half of the independent States of the world participated.
