“The independent countries of a region are naturally the most able and competent parties to deal with the problems concerning their region. Their policies and actions, emanating from the principle of collective regional responsibility, should therefore be respected and accepted by the rest of the international community. This is a fact which is even envisaged in the Charter of the United Nations, for Chapter VIII is entirely devoted to this conception. 39. Since the birth of the United Nations, this Organization has been brought gradually into step with the movement for decolonization, and has witnessed the achievement of independence by many peoples. The Declaration on the granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples stands as a landmark for the United Nations.”

“Together with these two important Conferences, the United Arab Republic also played host to the Heads of the Arab States, who met twice to examine in a brotherly and frank atmosphere, inter-Arab as well as other problems. They also reaffirmed their adherence to the principles of peace and justice in their region and throughout the world. 38. These conferences underlined a new and constructive force in international relations. The Conference of the Non-Aligned Countries, representing the aspirations of millions of peoples, gave expression to a policy determined to enhance the opportunities for peace and justice. Moreover, the African and Arab summit meetings emphasized the principle of collective regional responsibility.”

“The General Assembly, in dealing with the various items of its agenda, would do well to take into consideration the proposals of the non-aligned countries, for these proposals are based on a realistic and objective analysis of the present situation of international relations. 36. Earlier, from 17 to 21 July 1964, the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African Unity held its first session in Cairo and immediately came to grips with the problems facing Africa and the world. The resolutions adopted at this meeting are of far-reaching consequences for Africa. These resolutions of the independent African States represent the unity of thought and action of free Africa. 37.”

“Equally, we have historic relationships with the new State of Malta, Malawi, Zambia and Malta, we are confident, newly emerging into statehood and independence, will contribute effectively and positively to the labour of this Organization. My delegation is looking forward to co-operating with them in dealing with the numerous problems before the United Nations. 35. The year 1964 has witnessed several important international gatherings dedicated to peace and justice. Only a few weeks ago, the non-aligned countries met in Cairo for their second conference to consider the international situation: this Conference adopted a programme for peace and international co-operation, which offers positive solutions to the various problems of our generation.”

“33. Mr. President, it is with a deep sense of pleasure and pride that I extend to you the congratulations of the delegation of the United Arab Republic on your election as President of the General Assembly at its nineteenth session. Your election is of distinct significance for Africa and for all of us, your fellow Africans, who have known you as a determined and eloquent defender of the cause of freedom, peace and justice. We are confident that you will steer the nineteenth session along a positive and effective course. 34. On behalf of the Government and people of the United Arab Republic, I wish to congratulate and welcome the three new Members to our Organization. My country has old and traditional ties with both its sister African countries of Malawi and Zambia.”
