“The Soviet revisionists would do well to take this seriously into account. 147. It is quite clear that, in the circumstances, the convening of a conference on European security not only would fail to serve the higher interests of the peoples of the peace-loving States of Europe, but would be a dangerous trap for them. Dominated by those two Powers, the conference would not even function as a forum where the true sentiments and aspirations of the European peoples and States could be voiced on a free and equal footing.”

“It is in the framework of such a situation that the Soviet social-imperialists continuously strengthen their military occupation of Czechoslovakia, despite their statements to the effect that the West German danger no longer exists, that they maintain several Eastern European peoples under their yoke, that they threaten other peoples. If allowed to do so, they might behave elsewhere as they have for the past three years in Czechoslovakia. But if, as they have a tendency to do, the social-imperialists should undertake similar action against Romania or Yugoslavia, the people of those countries will not take it lying down; they will mount a resolute struggle against the aggressor. In that struggle they will not be alone; they will enjoy the support of many other peoples.”

“The European peoples cannot feel secure as long as the United States imperialists and the Soviet socialist imperialists follow a policy of threat and interference in the domestic affairs of European countries, as long as they brandish weapons and often undertake offensive military maneuvers in the framework of NATO and the Warsaw Treaty Organization. What is this demonstration of force for, and against whom is it directed, when the whole world knows that the United States and the Soviet Union co-operate closely between themselves? It goes without saying that they do all this to intimidate peoples and to safeguard and strengthen their positions of hegemony. 146.”

“We understand the concern of all European countries that sincerely desire real security and peace on their continent, but irrespective of their wishes, considering things as they are, we come to the conclusion that in Europe the necessary conditions for such a thing are not yet created, since the United States and the Soviet Union have installed there a vast network of military bases and maintain their troops in many European countries, since the aggressive blocs of NATO and the Warsaw Treaty Organization exist and act, and since problems outstanding since the end of the Second World War have not yet found just and effective solutions. 145.”

“My country, as a peace-loving European socialist State, is fighting resolutely for a true and lasting security in Europe and it is opposed to the European security which the two great imperialist Powers wish to impose upon us. It is not the only country to take such an attitude. I shall not now enumerate all the States which, while stating their general support for this kind of security, in fact for various reasons do not overtly assert their true attitude but maintain many reservations on the question. 144.”

“Here the two great imperialist Powers are in no way moved by any "concern" or "desire" to make a real contribution to strengthening peace and stability in Europe, but rather by the intention to serve the Soviet-American alliance and establish their domination over that continent, to divide it into zones of influence, to preserve their imperialist interests in Europe, to enslave the peoples of Europe and to create a relative peace in that area so that they may have their hands free in Asia and other parts of the world. The accomplishment of the plot concerning European security now enjoys the favor of the Federal Republic of Germany too, which, since the conclusion of the Moscow-Bonn Treaty, which gave it the opportunity of rising to the rank of first partner of the two super-Powers, is playing a more active role on its own account. 143.”

“In the course of this year alone the United States and the Soviet Union have concluded, or are in the process of concluding, a series of dangerous agreements and hatching plans which are quite as dangerous to the interests of the peoples and of peace. But the peoples cannot allow the two great imperialist Powers to interfere with their destinies. They do not need the role of arbitrator that these two Powers wish to arrogate to themselves. They are quite capable of solving their own problems. 142. At present the Soviet leadership is trying particularly hard to implement the so-called European security plan.”

“In the first place, the two parties, in order to survive, to maintain their vast empires and conserve their super-Power status, are obliged to draw closer and to co-operate, to make the struggle against revolution, socialism and the popular liberation movements the basis of the defense of their system, the fundamental hope for the realization of their strategy of expansionism and enslavement." 141. It is no longer a secret that these two Powers do not fail to make deals, to divide up spheres of influence and, in the international arena, to flaunt common attitudes which, through deceptive slogans, they attempt to impose on peoples and or. peace-loving States.”

“139. Despite ever growing contradictions which arise between them, the United States and the Soviet Union, as imperialist Powers, unite when it comes to carrying out their plans to establish their dominion in the world. They find themselves united when it comes to oppressing peoples and to opposing the influence of the revolutionary policy of the People's Republic of China in the world and in preparing war against it. 140. The leader of the Albanian people, Comrade Enver Hoxha, has said in this regard: "What unites them now is more important for them than what divides them.”

“We note that, while United States imperialism is trying to find a solution to the problems which have it by the throat, the Soviet socialist imperialists, without departing from the path of close co-operation with it in pursuit of their own imperialist great-Power interests, have become more active and do not fail to exploit the contradictions which exist between the United States and its allies. There is meaning too in the visits abroad now being made simultaneously by the main Soviet leaders, Brezhnev, Podgorny and Kosygin, and in their continuous insistence on treaties, agreements and other means by which to bind various countries to their imperialist policy as closely as possible. The Soviet revisionists often speculate on anti-imperialist slogans which we hear repeated here by their representatives, but none of this means anything.”

“Neither is there any unity in the United States-Soviet alliance, which in fact exists and is acting throughout the world and is a serious threat to the freedom of peoples, to international peace and security. It goes without saying that such an alliance, by its very imperialist nature, cannot exist or develop without disputes and inevitable contradictions which proliferate or are reduced with the changing political situation, with the weakening or strengthening of the positions of each of the great Powers, which is clearly reflected in their efforts to use them to one another's detriment, to undermine the partner's power and positron. 138. In the conditions of the deep-seated crisis through which the United States and the Soviet Union are now passing, the clash of their interests is becoming more and more obvious and bitter.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“Within these aggressive alliances, particularly NATO and the Warsaw Treaty, there is no unity, and these alliances are going through a phase of disintegration rod disarray impelled by centrifugal forces from within and by the general contradictions of imperialism and revisionism. Numerous member countries of these alliances no longer regard them as means of defending their interests but as an instrument in the hands of the great Powers to attain the objectives of hegemonic policy. We are convinced that the more and more marked tendency to escape from United States and Soviet control to the extent possible will be intensified, and that the State- members of these alliances will not sacrifice their interests to those of the United States and the Soviet Union. 137.”

“My country considers it an honor to be in the front rank of the fighters against imperialism and social-imperialism and to uphold and assist, through its just and principled policy, the struggle of the peoples for freedom and independence. 135. To remedy the grave situation in which they find themselves, the United States imperialists and the Soviet socialist imperialists are not only using demagogy and deceit but also having more and more recourse to brute force. They are interfering in the domestic affairs of other countries and committing armed aggression. To this end they are trying to activate aggressive alliances that they have set up and that they control and which they often use against their own partners. 136. But this too does nothing to reduce their difficulties.”

“An objective and realistic appreciation of the development of events shows that the oppressive and aggressive policy practiced by the United States and by the revisionist Soviet Union to establish their world dominion is now suffering more and more crushing defeats under the blows of the revolutionary and liberation struggles of the peoples. An important role in this sense is played by the just policy of the People's Republic of China, which supports and defends- the rights of peoples, their freedom and independence. A great contribution in this direction is also made by many sovereign peace-loving and freedom-loving States, irrespective of their size.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“We invite States Members to join their efforts so that the General Assembly not allow itself to be drawn into the United States game, and not sanction the Organization's complicity in the anti-Chinese activity of the United States; we also invite them to struggle energetically for a comprehensive and jL-t solution of the question of the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations, in the interest of defending the rights of peoples and sovereign countries, of peace and. world security. This would undoubtedly be an important step forward, to the advantage of the Organization itself. 134.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“My delegation believes that time presses and that the present session of the General Assembly faces an important test in seeking justly and definitively to resolve the question of the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations. The only just solution of this question in full conformity with the will of the Chinese people and the provisions of the Charter is that proposed by the resolution submitted to this session by the People's Republic of Albania and 21 other co-sponsoring States [A/L.630 and Add. 1].”

“Great socialist China will never bargain away the principles of Marxism-Leninism which underlie its policy. The peoples of the world are profoundly convinced of this, and imperialism and social imperialism must clearly recognize as much. Let no one deceive himself. The strategy and tactics of the glorious Chinese Communist Party, guided by Chairman Mao Tse-tung, and the Chinese Government, are based and built upon the principles of Marxism-Leninism, which they always apply with dedication and with which they act in rigorous and unchanging conformity in the interests of the great Chines? people, socialism and revolution. 133.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“On 20 August this year the Government of the People's Republic of China condemned and resolutely rejected this United States maneuver and categorically declared: "Should a situation of 'two Chinas', 'one China, one Taiwan' or 'the status of Taiwan remaining to be determined' or any other similar situation occur in the United Nations, the Government of the People's Republic of China will have absolutely nothing to do with the United Nations. This just stand of the Chinese Government is unshakable." [See A/8470.J 132. The United States and those that take their cue from its hostile anti-Chinese maneuvers should seriously take account of this formal declaration. The foreign policy of the People's Republic of China is a consistent policy of principle.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“There is only one China in the world, the People's Republic of China, and Taiwan is an integral part of its territory, and the Chinese people of 700 million is resolved to liberate that part. Only the Government of the People's Republic of China has aU the necessary qualifications and powers to represent the Chinese people and the whole of China in international relations and in the United Nations. The Nixon Government's present proposal is nothing more than a brutal and unprecedented intervention in the domestic affairs of a sovereign State, a flagrant violation of our Organization's Charter.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“We are convinced that even those States that in determining their attitude on this question are still under United States influence, because of political, economic and military links with that country, will finally find the necessary strength to reject the United States diktat and to join the majority of peace-loving States. This is the propitious moment for them to act with courage, as their own national self-interest dictates. 131. The People's Republic of Albania and many other countries have long stressed that the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations, a founder Member of the Organization and permanent member of the Security Council, is a simple and clear question.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“We also note that the United States of America is constantly bringing pressure of all kinds to bear on a large number of States not to vote at this session for the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China and for the expulsion of the Chiang Kai-shek clique, despite the fact that many of them wish to do so, since they take the realistic view that the world, the cause of peace, and the very progress of this Organization would have nothing to gain if a puppet which represents nothing, and is nothing other than an instrument in the hands of United States imperialism, were to remain here. 130.”

“Rogers, while openly distorting realities, or resorting to unfounded, contradictory arguments, once again tried to sow confusion in this Assembly and to throw up a smoke-screen to conceal the hostile policy of the United States towards the great » Chinese people. 129.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“These are the first essential steps that the United States must take. 128. Its proposal placed on the General Assembly agenda under the title "Representation of China in the United Nations" [see A/8442] is a new hostile maneuver, a new effort to accomplish the old United States plot of "two Chinas" and to legalize, through the United Nations, the separation of Taiwan from the motherland, and its military occupation of that Chinese province. By its proposal the United States is attempting to disorient the work of the Assembly and to postpone to as distant a date as possible the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in this Organization. Yesterday, at the 1950th meeting, the United States Secretary of State, Mr.”

“Faced with the new conditions thus created, fearing a total failure of the policy it had practiced thus far in regard to the People's Republic of China and of its own ever-deepening isolation in this matter, the United States has changed lis tactics and now pretends to have adopted a new attitude tGT-'&ds the People's Republic of China. But nothing has changed in the essence of its traditional anti-China policy, since the United States has not renounced the artificial obstacles it raises to the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations and the immediate expulsion of the Chiang Kai-shek clique, and since the United States has not withdrawn its military forces from Taiwan-that indivisible part of Chinese territory-and the warships of its Seventh Fleet from Chinese coastal waters.”

“In the United Nations, too, there has been a striking turn-around of forces in favor of the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China. Suffice it to note the well-known fact that here in this Assembly there has been a year-by-year increase in the number of States voting for the draft resolutions submitted by Albania and various co-sponsors-draft resolutions that we have constantly and firmly upheld. While in 1968 the result of the voting was 44 in favor and 58 against, in 1969 the score had risen to 48 in favor and 56 against; and, in 1970, to ?>1 in favor and 49 against, thus ensuring the number of votes required for a solution of the problem. 127.”

“Finally convinced that they could no longer proceed by ignoring the Chinese colossus, that the policy dictated to them by United States imperialism was leading to an impasse, and also thinking of their own national interests, many countries have begun, one after another, to recognize the People's Republic of China and to establish diplomatic relations with it. These signs of realism in the attitude of these countries vis-a-vis the People's Republic of China clearly show that the hostile and short-sighted anti-Chinese policy of the United States of America has suffered a heavy defeat on one key point. It proves that the United States is unable to isolate the People's Republic of China or even to prevent the increase of its influence in the world and the extension of its international relations. 126.”

“Time has vindicated the judgment of our party and our Government in assessing the strength' and the role of great socialist China in the world. It has shown that our judgment was no mere propaganda, but the expression of a great reality-the expression of our correct Marxist-Leninist view of world developments. 125. The day has already come when in the face of this great reality, following the determined revolutionary policy of the People's Republic of China, many States of the world have had to change their attitude towards it.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“Great China is going ahead with giant steps, and it has won tremendous victories in the socialist revolution and in the socialist construction of the country. It is now stronger than ever; it stands like an unshakable citadel of revolution and socialism in the world. It is a powerful supporter of the struggle of peoples for freedom and national independence and is making an immense positive contribution to the course of events in the international arena. Its prestige and authority are constantly growing. The eyes of the world's peoples and of peace- and freedom-loving sovereign States that seek friendship and sincere support in their struggle to build an independent life are turned towards great China. 124.”

“They have organized against it an embargo and a ferocious political and economic blockade, and they have endeavored to isolate it diplomatically. The Soviet-social- imperialists, too, have joined these anti-Chinese activities in recent years and have directed the iron lance of their expansionist policy against the People's Republic of China. They constantly inflate their frenzied propaganda, replete with calumny and fiction and hatch aggressive plans against it. They have committed armed provocation and acts of aggression, and today they are concentrating their armies close to the Soviet-Chinese frontier. 123. But the United States imperialists and the Soviet social-imperialists, as well as all their collaborators, have totally failed.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“We have emphatically pointed out that the world, and above all, the United Nations, has great need of the People's Republic of China and that it cannot do without that great socialist State, which represents a quarter of mankind and which has consistently followed a policy of peace and international co-operation. 122. Blinded by their deep hostility towards socialism and the great Chinese people, the United States of America and its allies have, since the foundation of the People's Republic of China in 1949 to this very day, striven by every means to subjugate it; they have pursued against it a policy of war, have undertaken armed provocations and flagrant acts of aggression and have girded its frontiers with a vast network of bases and military pacts to enclose it in a circle of fire.”

“For more than 20 consecutive years the General Assembly has faced the problem of the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations and the expulsion of the representatives of the Chang Kai-shek clique from the Organization, a problem the just solution to which would be very advantageous to the cause of peoples and peace-loving States, to international peace and security and, to a very large extent, to the normal functioning of our Organization itself. The Government of the People's Republic of Albania has long drawn attention to the tremendous strength of the People's Republic of China and the unquestionable role that it plays in the present development of the world, and emphasized that without its participation no important problem of our time can be settled.”

“We have every confidence that the situation created will raise the political consciousness of the peoples and the working masses, who will not bow before this new attack on their vital interests but will use it to strike heavier blows at the positions of imperialism headed by the United States, in order to advance their struggle; for this will assuredly be so. 121.”

“The trade war, which has already begun, is governed by its own savage laws which are as pitiless as those of war proper. The history of past conflicts has taught us that the struggle for markets was the basis and the prelude of the greatest conflagrations. 120. Before this situation, it is becoming even clearer what dire consequences may ensue from close bonds with the United States of America and its economy, with its inevitable inherent conflicts and crises. This once again confirms how important and essential it is for any country which is concerned to develop freely and independently, and particularly for any developing country, to rely on its own strength and to concentrate its efforts on exploiting' its own natural resources and domestic possibilities.”

“Taken as a whole, the present monetary crisis will exacerbate all the contradictions of the capitalist world. The dollar crisis will damage, in the first instance, the economically weak countries at whose expense the United States is seeking to make profits. The inequality in their trade will only be accentuated. The crisis will lead to a weakening of the economic potential of capitalist countries, to a decline in production, to the closing of factories, and so forth. There can be no doubt that those countries, each on its own account or within the framework of various groupings, will resist United States imperialism in the defense of their own interests and their national independence, that they will try to confront the situation and that in so doing they will step up the rivalries and the competition among themselves.”

“We already see the Federal Republic of Germany, Japan and a number of other countries that are the most harmed by the United States measures maneuvering to find a way out. 118. The United States of America, which is clinging to its dominant positions, will step up pressure and blackmail in order to prevent its partners from going too far in the measures they may adopt in their own defense, and it will multiply its efforts to intimidate them by invoking the danger of communism and revolution in order to force them to undertake the greatest possible share of the burden by acquiring as many commodities as possible on the United States market, particularly armaments, by increasing military expenditures and their contribution to the cost of maintaining United States bases and troops on their territory. 119.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“The panic which seized the finances and the economies of the European Common Market countries, Japan and the Latin American countries following the dollar crisis clearly shows the difficulties in which United States imperialism can put its partners when it comes to protecting its own hegemonic positions; it reveals how precarious is the basis on which relations among themselves are built. It would be naive to suppose that those countries will stand idly by and that they will quietly submit to United States economic diktat. No, they too will struggle; they will resist and defend their positions and interests. All that will inevitably aggravate the struggle between competitors on the world market, will change relations in international trade and will entail a resurgence of the struggle of monopolies to grab new markets.”

“The gravest consequences of these measures, namely, growing unemployment, rising prices at a time of a wage-freeze, reduced expenditures on public services and increased taxes will weigh more heavily on the working masses than on anyone else, and their living standards will decline still further. The United States Government has taken these measures not only to prevent the devaluation of the dollar but also to save the whole course of its aggressive policy. These measures imply means and methods of finding new possibilities for carrying through the wars already begun and for preparing new ones in order to exploit and plunder other peoples. 117.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“But when the privileged and dominant positions of the dollar as the basic currency in the international monetary system were endangered, the United States Government sounded the alarm and started new efforts to solve its crisis without too many painful convulsions. It unilaterally proclaimed the measures with which everyone is familiar, without asking the prior assent of its partners, and flouting the interests of those partners and its undertakings under international agreements. 116. Nixon's new protectionist policy, his pressures on other countries to revalue their currencies, and so forth, are a flagrant challenge to the partners of the United States and tribute that United States imperialism is trying to impose on the peoples of those countries.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“To meet the colossal expenses required to follow its expansionist course of world dominion, the United States circulated large sums in dollars both at home and abroad; and through, threats and blackmail on the political, economic and financial levels against other countries, it endeavored, with difficulty, to maintain the old nominal value of its currency. 115. For some time the United States of America withstood the worsening domestic inflation and the drain on its gold reserves, and its partners resigned themselves to making their contribution to correcting the difficulties of the dollar.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“The policy of world dominion, aggression and war constantly practiced by United States imperialism, the militarization of the economy and the frenzied arms race, the maintenance of military bases and of numerous armed forces throughout the world, the diversionary and subversive activities which * it conducts on every continent and its efforts to extend its tentacles to the economies of the developed and the under-developed countries have obliged it to undertake enormous expenditures that the United States economy is unable to cover. The dollar crisis, in one aspect, is the economic expression of the political defeats suffered by United States imperialism. 114.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“Faced with a situation in which the law of the unequal development of the economy of the capitalist countries has its inevitable effect, confronted with aggravation of the contradictions and of the struggle for world markets, and as a result of its entire policy of aggressive expansionism on the international scene, the United States of America has gradually lost many of its privileged and dominant positions in the capitalist world.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“It is the expression and the inevitable consequence of the general crisis of the capitalist system. The United States dollar crisis has led to the appearance, in all their acuity, of deep-seated political, economic and social contradictions, and domestic and foreign antagonisms, which gnaw at the main imperialist countries, particularly the United States of America. Thus, what was to be expected has taken place what, indeed, could not but have taken place. 113.”
1971-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 26 (1971)
“The international isolation of United States imperialism and its allies is becoming more and more obvious; the more stubbornly they persist in their policy of exploiting peoples and robbing them of their freedom, the more numerous are their failures and their difficulties. 112. The capitalist world is now shaken by a grave crisis in its monetary system, which is the biggest and the most 'disturbing of the period since the Second World War and whose epicenter is the crisis of the United States dollar. That crisis has given rise to a new state of tension and great perturbation in relations between capitalist countries, particularly between the countries of Western Europe and Japan on the one hand, and the United States of America on the other.”

“Never perhaps have the demagoguery and hypocrisy of the aggressors on the subject of "peace" and "security" been so unbridled and so cynical as they are today; never have they used such resources or expended so much energy to brutalize the human spirit and poison man's conscience. 111. But never have the imperialists and the aggressors encountered such strong and determined resistance on the part of the peoples, which have risen up and are struggling to defend their freedom, their independence, their rights and their sovereignty. An ever-growing number of sovereign and peace-loving countries are resisting the hegemonic policy of oppression and aggression and are repulsing it. The defeats suffered by the imperialists and the aggressors have shaken their positions from top to bottom.”

“110. This session of the General Assembly is meeting at a time when new dangers and threats to international peace and security have been added to those that already existed, at a time when the problems which concern the world are becoming still more complicated. The aggression of American imperialism has gone beyond the frontiers of Viet-Nam and has spread to the whole of Indo-China. Arab territories are still occupied and the prospects for peace in the Middle East seem to be more favorable than before. The Powers that practice the old and new methods of colonialism persist in their policy of oppression and ferocious plunder, of hateful racial discrimination and of the massacre of patriots and colored populations. The two great Powers have increased the arsenals of war and are brandishing weapons in the four corners of the world.”

“It is obvious that, so long as the harmful influence of the United States over the United Nations continues, the Organization will not be in a position to take the necessary decisions and the appropriate measures for its own reorganization, which is essential in the present state of international affairs, nor will it be able to carry out its essential tasks of promoting peace and of respecting the right of peoples to self-determination, freedom and independence. 82. The Albanian delegation egresses the conviction that, through me concerted and resolute efforts of peace-loving States and of all the peoples of the world and through their co-ordinated action against imperialism and its lackeys, it will be possible to bring to naught all the plans and manoeuvres against the freedom of peoples and the cause of genuine world peace.”

“In the statement made by our delegation in the general debate at the last session of the General Assembly [1344th meeting], when speaking of the urgent measures that the Organization should take to this effect, we stressed as one of the essential conditions the need to reject the influences and manoeuvres of the United States of America within the United Nations, even if the influence is exerted and the manoeuvres are carried out in collaboration with some other great Power. This is an organization of sovereign and equal States, for which any kind of tutelage or diktat is unacceptable, irrespective of the form which it takes.”

“The Government of the People's Republic of Albania, guided by its policy of peace and international co-operation, has tried constantly and in all circumstances to make its modest contribution to the safeguarding and strengthening of world peace. It has been and continues to be in favour of the development of relations with all countries with different social systems, on the basis of the well known principles of peaceful coexistence, equality, noninterference in internal affairs, respect and mutual advantage. We have always supported the efforts of all those States which are devoted to the cause of freedom and independence for peoples, and to the best of our ability we have endeavoured to assist the United Nations to pursue a path which is in accordance with the fundamental Purposes and Principles of the Charter. 81.”

“But what we wish to emphasize now is that an end must be put to this situation without further delay if there is a genuine desire to take the first essential step to place the Organization on its feet again. The matter is all the more urgent when we take into account the grave international situation and the great problems of our time that are awaiting solution. 79. It is essential that the United Nations should become a universal organization, in conformity with the Charter, and that can only be achieved by granting to all peoples the legitimate right to be represented in this institution. In this connexion, the Government of the People's Republic of Albania supports the just claim of the German Democratic Republic to become a member of the United Nations. 80.”

“It firmly supports the struggle of peoples for freedom and social progress and it is respected by the whole of progressive mankind. The slanders of the United States imperialists and their lackeys, in particular recent slanders, against the People's Republic of China are designed to distract the attention of world opinion from their policy of aggression and plots against peoples and peace and to sully the peaceful policy of China and the many and varied great achievements of the Chinese people. 78. Albania is one of the sponsors of the request for the inclusion in the agenda of the item relating to the restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations [A/6391]. We shall have occasion to speak of this question in greater detail when the General Assembly takes up this item.”
