UN General Assembly
1954

108. I believe that everything I have just said is evidence of the importance which my country attaches to the work of this Assembly, and of the attention with which it follows our discussions. We, who have given proof of our desire to solve all problems in the spirit of the Charter, are ready to accept whatever sacrifices may be necessary to contribute to the Assembly’s work. 109. Every year we come to this gathering with our hearts full of hope and with a will to do our best. With perseverance we shall accomplish the task we have set ourselves, to enhance the prestige and effectiveness of the United Nations, from which everything we hope for may be expected so long as it is able to recognize the faces of its true friends.
