10. These are the brief comments which my country wishes to make at present on this problem facing our whole international order. For its part, Peru has cooperated and will continue to co-operate with the United Nations, the United States and other European and Latin-American countries in numerous economic and technical assistance programmes, following the precepts of a free economy and recognizing the need to welcome all foreign capital, both public and private, which wishes to come to Peru to help develop and improve our economy. My country needs the vitalizing presence of new courses of wealth, as well as technique and co-operation generally in order to obtain foreign markets for its produce and thus procure the currencies needed for its economic development. Only in that way can my country continue the rate of progress which is recognized as its due and which it has so far experienced.
