  1. “Indeed, in Viet-Nam the war is continuing. We in the Cameroons have never ceased to express our indignation at the long war thus imposed upon that country. The courage of the people of Viet-Nam, their patriotism and their determination to be independent have earned them the admiration and support of the international community. 72.”

  2. “We believe that these agreements have removed a major obstacle to East-West relations. 68. These signs of an easing of tensions have created conditions favorable to the search for a solution to the problems of divided countries through direct and independent negotiations between the parties concerned. 69. We may thus hope that the two Germany and the two Koreas will finally in the not too distant future be in a position to redefine the course of their own destiny. 70. But along with these positive aspects, we are unfortunately constrained to note that these efforts on the part of the great Powers have not yet led to a general easing of tensions. If peace is indivisible, detente, understanding and co-operation should also be indivisible. However, that does not seem to be the case for the moment. 71.”

  3. “The restoration to the People's Republic of China of its lawful rights in the United Nations and the summit meetings between the United States and China, on the one hand, and the Soviet Union and the United States, on the other, are evidence-that positive developments are occurring in the relations between the great Powers. For its part, Cameroon, which has a standing interest in international peace and security, is gratified at these felicitous initiatives. 67. Similarly, we note with a great deal of optimism the ratification of the treaty of 12 August 1970 between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Soviet Union, the treaty of 7 December 1970 between the Federal Republic of Germany and Poland, and the Quadripartite Agreement on Berlin of 3 September 1971.”

  4. “Having lived for so long in a world where the apprehensions created by the rivalry between the great Powers have generated the fear that at any moment large-scale conflicts might break out, we have just witnessed signs of the relaxation of tensions in international relations. This year in the course of a few months we have just lived through historic moments characterized by contacts which would formerly have been deemed to be impossible between the great Powers. These encounters have been followed with interest and much hope by the international community as a whole, and should be greeted as the dawn of a new era. 66.”

  5. “I should also like to associate myself with previous speakers in conveying our gratitude and thanks to your distinguished predecessor, Mr. Adam Malik, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Indonesia, for the skill and competence with which he presided over the twenty-sixth session of the General Assembly one year ago. 64. We should also like to welcome the presence at your side of Mr. Kurt Waldheim, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, whose understanding of the complex problems of our day and valuable experience in the field of multilateral diplomacy permit me to predict that the difficult problems confronting our Organization will be pursued and dealt with competently and effectively. 65.”

  6. “Mr. President, since I am speaking from this rostrum for the first time as the head of my country's delegation, permit me first of all to convey to you my warm and sincere congratulations and the congratulations of the entire Cameroon delegation on your brilliant election to the Presidency of this Assembly. This choice is a just tribute to your distinguished statesmanlike qualities and to your long and rich experience of international problems. It testifies to the high esteem in which your country is held by the world community. We are convinced that under your enlightened guidance and with the continuing co-operation of all those around you, and particularly the members of the General Committee, whom we associate in this act of tribute, our work will be as successful as we hope. 63.”
