UN General Assembly
1962

115. We welcome, quite as warmly as all the representatives who have spoken here, the fact that meetings of the great Powers are taking place with the participation of others which, although smaller, also have an interest in the matter, to try to attain general and complete disarmament as speedily as possible. The results achieved have been meagre, but there is something constructive in the fact that the meetings have taken place and may continue in the future with the helpful participation of eight countries which do not belong to military blocs and whose activities have earned the praise of the other participants. We long for the discontinuance of nuclear testing, and we hope that rapid agreement may be reached, with adequate international safeguards, so that the countries now carrying out the tests will be able to abandon them without fear that their good faith may be abused, as has happened in the past.
