UN General Assembly
1956

168. The General Assembly has had before it the new proposals by the Government of the Soviet Union, set out in a statement [A/3366] of 17 November 1956, on the question of disarmament and the easing of international tension. The Romanian delegation considers these proposals to be a most important contribution, which could lead to a positive settlement of the question. It is obvious that not only the Romanian People’s Republic but also the majority of countries which are anxious to eliminate the threat of war, to establish favourable terms of trade and to devote their budgets to social work and the development of the national economy, expect that the other great Powers, and first and foremost the United States, will really fall in with the Soviet Union proposals.
