UN General Assembly

113. International relations today have begun to be marked to a large extent by what is known as dialog or international detente. In fact, today our world is witnessing constant efforts aimed at reducing the risks of war and eliminating the dangers of confrontation in a nuclear war, which has conjured up the specter of devastation, and at establishing world peace. Our developing country attaches great importance to peace and security as the basis for a national climate propitious for social and economic development. 114. However, dialog and detente should take into consideration the concepts of the liberation of peoples and respect for their national independence. When the prerogatives of the imperialist Powers are threatened, those Powers try to violate independence and national sovereignty, and to increase tensions throughout the world. Armaments manufacturers and the companies that serve the imperialists interests hatch plots to undermine national economies and to fan the flames of conflict in the developing countries in order to overthrow progressive national regimes.
