UN General Assembly
1956

114. It is in the hope, too, of bettering relations between my country and the Netherlands that, along with other Asian-African countries, we have again submitted the question of West Irian to the United Nations. Our aim clearly is not to create new tensions, but to find through the United Nations ways of abolishing old ones. We are therefore deeply grateful and appreciative of the support we received for the inscription of the question of West Irian in the agenda of this Assembly. At the proper time, we will, of course, explain fully our position on this question.
