UN General Assembly
1975

34. As we all know, the survival of the United Nations has been threatened for many years by a dangerous struggle for political and military advantage between two so-called "worlds". But underneath it a new confrontation was taking shape. As the force of historic colonialism diminished and withered away, new nations emerged a third world that sought, not supremacy, but equality and justice. This new world sought to challenge the economic and social order inherited from an age that had in fact come to an end, an order that was no longer rational or equitable or justified if indeed it had ever been. 35. My country inevitably shared in this new confrontation; we identified ourselves with other developing nations in the common search for a just distribution of the human heritage. This is why I bring with me the resurgent hope of a developing country in Asia. We dare to believe that the great and fortunate Powers of the world have at last acknowledged the aspirations of the third world.
