UN General Assembly
1980

134. The armed Vietnamese intervention in Kampuchea nearly two years ago and its implications for the neighbouring States remain a matter of serious concern to the world at large. Like the majority of the States Members of the United Nations, Denmark deeply deplores this development and has emphasized the right of all peoples to determine their own future without outside interference. 135. We deeply deplore the sufferings inflicted upon hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians throughout the region. In this connexion, my Government would like to commend the international relief organizations for their accomplishments in alleviating the human sufferings of these innocent people. I should also like to thank the Secretary-General for his report on the Kampuchean question and to pledge our support for his continued efforts to find a political solution that will end the conflict. 136. As I mentioned in my introductory remarks, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan during the last days of 1979 has caused a regrettable deterioration in international relations.
