  1. “I would even go so far as to say that relations between Greece and its northerly neighbors can already serve as an example and a precedent. They have given rise to a new initiative, this time on the multilateral level. In the spirit of Helsinki, the Prime Minister of Greece on 18 August proposed to other Balkan leaders that they convene at Athens an inter- Balkan conference to bring about co-operation in the fields of economy, transport, energy and the environment. 169. In the south, our relations with the Arab countries are based on a long common heritage which goes back to the very distant past. Hence our close links with the friendly Arab peoples.”

  2. “The message of Helsinki is one essentially of hope not only for Europe, an old continent sorely tried by the vicissitudes of history, but for mankind as a whole, because we have now promised that the principles of the Final Act will animate us in our relations with all the countries of the world. 167. Greece, which made its own dynamic contribution to the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, has left no stone unturned bilaterally to strengthen its ties and relationships with all countries, particularly its closest neighbors to the north and south. 168. Concerning the development of relations between Greece and its neighbors to the north, I should like to emphasize how easy it is to promote co-operation among countries with different social, economic and political systems provided there is goodwill on both sides.”

  3. “Hence it seems to us to be essential to mobilize our collective efforts to offset a crisis which is particularly damaging to the weakest, and to set up an international system which responds to the needs of the present international economic situation. 166. Politically speaking, it is appropriate to refer to the happy outcome of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe. The principles enunciated by the Conference at Helsinki are undoubtedly neither new nor original; they are to be found in the Charter of our Organization, which is already 30 years old. But there can be no doubt that the very fact that 35 States Members of the United Nations felt the need to reaffirm them in a solemn document is certainly not devoid of political importance.”

  4. “While there is no doubt that the causes of the present economic inequalities between States are rooted in the remote past, it is none the less true that there might be a risk of its increasing were we not resolved to take the necessary steps progressively to reduce the distance separating the levels of development of our peoples. These measures, which would obviously benefit the less wealthy peoples, would certainly also be profitable, if we consider their long- term effects, for the economically advanced countries, not only because such a policy is the best guarantee of peace but also because the progress of the industrialized countries depends on the capacity of the developing countries to purchase their products. 165.”

  5. “Certain positive indications lead us to believe that this is, in fact, the wish of the international community. It is quite obvious that we have now passed the stage of preliminary studies and improvisations and are now getting to the heart of the problem namely, the revising and restructuring of the economic, trade, financial and monetary institutions in order to settle on a long-term basis the crisis which besets us. 163. This crisis, one of the salient features of which is the slowing-down of the rate of economic growth of developing countries, has thrown into relief, if there was need to do so, the gap separating the economically developed countries from the rest of the world. 164.”

  6. “Was not this interdependence abundantly affirmed during the work of the seventh special session of the General Assembly that has just finished its work? I conclude from its deliberations that the grand design of our Organization for the coming years must be the programming and implementation of a new world economic order. A step in that direction was taken when the Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States [resolution 3281 (XXIX)] was adopted and the program of Action on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order [resolution 3202 (S-W)] was drawn up during the sixth special session of the General Assembly. 162. Undoubtedly, in order to move towards this new economic order we shall have to display both courage and originality.”

  7. “At the world level, I should like specifically to refer to the efforts that have been made to reinforce peace and security, as well as those designed to give expression and new impetus to solving the acute problems which confront the developing countries in particular at a stage in our history dominated by the rapid change in social, economic and political conditions. 160. This activity could profoundly change the framework of ideas within which we are used to living and lead us towards a more dynamic period characterized by the urgent search for a more satisfactory restructuring of our society. 161. The concept of the interdependence of nations is rooted in the minds and hearts of our peoples and engenders a feeling of solidarity among human beings which should henceforward serve as a basis for the political thinking of their leaders.”

  8. “Waldheim, both for the activities he is undertaking in the discharge of his responsible duties and for his tireless efforts, inspired by profound humanitarianism, to bring about a settlement of the Cyprus problem and to allay the immense human suffering on that island. 158. Finally, we are pleased to welcome the admission to the United Nations of the People's Republic of Mozambique, the Republic of Cape Verde and the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe, new Members to which we address our warm congratulations and our sincere wishes for the prosperity of their peoples. 159. The period preceding this session of the General Assembly was one of the most rich and fertile in the field of international meetings, both at the world level and at the regional level.”

  9. “Mr. President, it gives me great pleasure to extend to you the warm congratulations of my Government and of the Greek delegation. Your election to the presidency of the General Assembly is undoubtedly a tribute to your eminent qualities as a statesman and also to your country, with which Greece is linked by traditional and fruitful friendship. Your vast experience of international affairs and your personal prestige will help us to tackle successfully the work of this thirtieth session. 156. I am equally happy to express our appreciation of the lofty spirit and the great competence with which your predecessor, Mr. Bouteflika, conducted the work of the preceding session. 157. We should like to pay a tribute to the Secretary- General, Mr.”
