  1. “Clear proof of this can be seen in decisions adopted at the last two sessions of the General Assembly the Declaration on the Strengthening of International Security [resolution 2734 (XXV)] and the resolution concerning its implementation [resolution 2880 (XXVI)]. 101. The delegation of the People's Republic of Bulgaria is profoundly convinced that the problems of international security are of central importance in the work of the present session. The United Nations, which was created in order to watch tirelessly over world peace, does not and cannot have any greater task than that. The States Members of this Organization must and given a spirit of goodwill- can breathe life into these extremely important documents. 102.”

  2. “Their purpose is to disturb the tranquil atmosphere which the peoples of the Balkans are so anxious to maintain and improve. 99. The main problem and, if I may be permitted to say so, the object of universal concern in the thoughts and feelings of peoples is the question of strengthening international security and maintaining peace. There is no need to point out how real and justified are people's fears of a new international conflagration and its disastrous consequences. It is an elementary truth that only in conditions of lasting peace and security can the extremely complex problems facing mankind be solved. 100. That is why the international community gives priority to questions connected with the strengthening of peace and security. It is also the reason for its sensitivity to anything that directly or indirectly relates to security.”

  3. “In its attitude towards the favorable results of the visits, meetings and contacts which have taken place between high-ranking representatives of the Balkan countries and which have provided opportunities for the discussion of problems of mutual interest as the President of the State Council, Todor Zhivkov, has emphasized several times the People's Republic of Bulgaria will continue to be inspired by the same unchangeable principles and will, as before, be ready at all times to follow this path, to contribute actively to a further affirmation and strengthening of the spirit of mutual understanding and trust in the Balkans. 98. However, I cannot but express here my concern at the attempts of certain circles in the West to provoke and promote tension in areas in close proximity to the Balkan peninsula.”

  4. “The favorable signs and tendencies pointing towards mutual understanding and mutually beneficial cooperation between the States of the Balkan peninsula are becoming a permanent, encouraging trend which all Balkan peoples have an interest in furthering. 97.”

  5. “As a representative of a socialist country whose foreign policy has at all times been inspired by the principles of peaceful coexistence, I should like to deal specifically with the favorable development of the situation in the Balkans. For almost three decades, the Bulgarian Government has been making every effort to support, develop and strengthen friendly and good-neighborly ties with the Balkan countries and to contribute to an improvement in the political climate in that area. I should like to express my satisfaction at the fact that our country's efforts are appreciated and welcomed by other Balkan States.”

  6. “The argument that a settlement of this question is dependent on the establishment of normal bilateral relations between the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany does not stand up under examination. It runs counter to the logic of present developments in Europe. The immediate admission of the two German States to the United Nations would provide a decisive stimulus to the establishment of a climate of peaceful coexistence and good-neighborliness between the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany and would contribute to a solution of the problems which are impeding the establishment of normal relations between them. 96.”

  7. “There is no question that the settlement of these issues would give new and powerful impetus to an even more rapid improvement of the political climate on the continent and throughout the world. 94. The admission of the two German States to the United Nations is undeniably one of the most urgent steps that could be taken to strengthen security in Europe, and it would be in the interests of all European States and the entire world community. This would be a significant contribution to the cause of strengthening the United Nations itself by reinforcing one of the basic principles of the Charter, the principle of universality. 95.”

  8. “There is no question that the achievements of this year have established the necessary objective preconditions for the convening of the conference, which is now an urgent matter facing the peoples of Europe. It is essential to take advantage of the favorable political climate prevailing on the ancient continent in order to hasten and strengthen this process of clearing the air. 93. In addition to the need to convene a European conference on security and co-operation, there are pressing issues like the normalization of relations between the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany, including recognition that the Munich Agreement was invalid ab initio, and the admission of the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany to the United Nations.”

  9. “In this positive process, great importance naturally attaches to the question of convening a European conference on security and co-operation, which would be an extremely significant contribution to the cause of strengthening peace and international security. I believe that today no one can deny that the socialist countries' initiative evoked a wide and favorable public response not only in Europe but throughout the world. This initiative revitalized the political activities of European States, produced numerous contacts and useful exchanges of views between statesmen, and facilitated and accelerated the development of various types of closer co-operation in all spheres of public life. 92.”

  10. “An important agreement on bilateral relations has been reached between India and Pakistan, and this is a step forward towards the establishment of a lasting peace on the Hindustan peninsula. 90. All these events bear witness to an increasingly pronounced trend in international life towards the establishment of new relationships between States and an improved outlook for the peaceful settlement of longstanding disputes, without the use or the threat of force. There are thus encouraging prospects for new efforts to achieve a further detente, to prevent a revival of the cold war, to eliminate existing hotbeds of conflicts and to strengthen international security and peace throughout the world. 91.”

  11. “This put an end to an extremely serious problem which had been troubling international relations in Europe for many years. 88. There can no doubt that the talks held in Moscow, the Basic Principles of Mutual Relations between the Soviet Union and the United States signed in the Soviet capital on 29 May 1972 and the concrete agreements reached in the field of strategic arms control are also beneficial to the cause of strengthening peace. 89. Another encouraging factor has been the contacts initiated in a key area of the Far East, where the possibility has arisen of achieving direct mutual understanding between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and South Korea.”

  12. “In noting the importance of the favorable developments which have occurred during the year, one cannot but I stress their link with the consistent and active foreign policies of the socialist countries, particularly the Soviet Union, which has for 50 years been pursuing an unwavering policy of peace, mutual understanding and co-operation. It was because of that policy that such useful steps were taken as the coming into force of the treaty of 12 August 1970 between the Soviet Union and the Federal Republic of Germany and the Treaty of 7 December 1970 between Poland and the Federal Republic of Germany, the Quadripartite Agreement, of 3 September 1971, on West Berlin and the agreements concluded on 8 December 1971 by the German Democratic Republic with the Federal Republic of Germany and with the West Berlin Senate.”

  13. “For that reason, we associate ourselves with all those who laid stress on the favorable trends in international life that have appeared since the end of the twenty-sixth session. 86. Indeed, we have witnessed events which only a year I ago appeared far off and improbable. Exceptionally important agreements came into force within a brief period during the current year, summit meetings were held between the leaders of great Powers, and historic treaties were signed. Of course, these events cannot be regarded as s accidental or coincidental. We are deeply convinced and I should like to stress this-that what is involved is a natural development, the result of the growth of the forces of peace and their unyielding struggle for detente and the strengthening of peace and international security. 87.”

  14. “I should also like to welcome the Secretary-General, Kurt Waldheim, and to take this opportunity at the opening at the twenty-seventh session, the first session since his I election to that high post, to wish him success in his demanding work. 85. At a time when the most authoritative representatives of States Members of the United Nations have an opportunity to speak from this rostrum and to set out the position of their Governments on the principal problems of the present day, we should like to state that we join a number of previous speakers in noting with satisfaction that the process of detente is one of the most significant and encouraging factors of the present moment in history.”

  15. “Comrade President, in making my first speech from this rostrum, I should like first of all, on behalf of the delegation of the People's Republic of Bulgaria and on my own behalf, to extend cordial congratulations to you on your election as President of the twenty-seventh session of the United Nations General Assembly. I wish you success in carrying out your noble task, and I am certain that under your guidance the present session of the General Assembly will take new, concrete steps towards the affirmation and practical attainment of peaceful, constructive relations between peoples a goal towards which Poland has made its contribution together with the other socialist countries. 84.”
