UN General Assembly
1983

111. For four years the Afghan people, like the Kampuchean people, have been the victims of aggression and military occupation. It is therefore most distressing that, despite universal disapproval, anger and protest, the Soviet Union remains oblivious of world opinion. In fact, this aggression against a peace-loving people and the occupation of its country will remain in the forefront of world attention and will continue to be opposed by the international community. While Malaysia supports the ongoing efforts of the Secretary-General to bring about a negotiated settlement, the Soviet Union must show greater sincerity and earnestness concerning this United Nations peace process so that an early solution consistent with the relevant resolutions of this and other international bodies may be found. 112. Another question of concern to us is the continuing conflict between Iran and Iraq, two countries with which Malaysia enjoys close and friendly relations. Malaysia welcomes the efforts of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries and the Organization of the Islamic Conference, of whose Peace Committee Malaysia is a member, to bring to an end that tragic conflict.
