“We have begun to pursue such a policy with our neighbouring countries of South East Asia, with whom we wish to lay strong foundations for living together in peace. In August 1966 Indonesia reached agreement with Malaysia to end all the acts of hostility that had accompanied confrontation. Since that time our relations with both Singapore, which we had recognized previously, and Malaysia have continued to improve. Today we are pleased to be able to state that formal diplomatic relations have been resumed. 83. With the formation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations we have launched a policy of close and mutually beneficial regional co-operation with Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.”

“In the long term we have setup a scale of priorities: first for development in the agricultural sector, then in the field of the infrastructure, and finally for the development of industry, including mining and oil resources. We have already begun to implement our programme, and in 1969 a five-year development plan will be put into effect. 81. In our foreign relations we are trying to realize the deep aspirations of our people for an Indonesia that can contribute to the building of a world community in which an atmosphere of friendship among nations and peoples can exist. With this in mind we are determined to pursue an active and independent foreign policy to achieve these goals. 82.”

“The main task of the new order is to re-establish those principles in their pure form and to maintain their integrity against all attempts to revert to practices which violated them. 79. The present Government has launched a political and economic stabilization programme to create the necessary conditions for attaining these ends. In this framework, our most pressing national duty at the moment is to stabilize and rehabilitate our national economy. The sufferings of our people have gone too long unheeded. In the short term our domestic programme is aimed at controlling inflation, meeting the people's needs for daily subsistence, rehabilitating the economic infrastructure and increasing export activities. 80.”

“The Preamble to our Constitution requires the Indonesian Government "to protect the whole of the Indonesian People and their entire native land, to advance the general welfare, to develop the intellectual life of the nation and to contribute in implementing a world order based on independence, lasting peace and social justice". 78. These aspirations of our people, as set forth in the 1945 Constitution and embodied In our national philosophy of Pancha Shila, the five principles upon which our country and national life are founded, must be upheld. The deviations from Pancha Shila and the 1945 Constitution that occurred during the period of the old order resulted in severe and damaging consequences to the foundations of the life of our nation.”

“Man's capacity in the field of technology far surpasses his ability to solve the more immediate problems of living together in peace. All the wonders of modern science will be useless if weapons replace words and deeds as a method of solution. 77. Individually we must do our utmost to correct our own national shortcomings, while collectively seeking to create conditions in which our common aspirations for world peace and prosperity can thrive. Since our Proclamation of Independence, Indonesia has possessed its own national guide in pursuit of that goal.”

“Mistrust and suspicions grow out of the differences in ideology and concepts between what have been called "super-Powers" and give rise to an international atmosphere in which it is easier to suspect than to trust one another. External interference in the domestic affairs of other States, compulsion and subversion in political, military and economic forms, poison international relationships. Colonial domination is being strengthened by acts of racial discrimination, and both directly violate human rights. The more affluent States often consider only their own prosperity, while at the same time the greater part of the human race is still burdened by hunger, poverty, ignorance and disease. 76. The picture presented here is indeed dismal.”

“The consequences of the recent war in the Middle East aggravate a problem that is of long duration. The ever-increasing arms race threatens to disrupt even the precarious "balance of terror" that prevails at present. The Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples made by this Assembly [resolution 1514 (XV)] is not being implemented; instead, more obstructions are appearing to its implementation. And finally, the difference between the standards of living prevailing in the rich and poor States is becoming ever more overwhelming. In all those cases, different peoples are struggling for objectives involving rights, justice and peace. 75. If we are to be successful in our efforts, we must first understand the underlying causes giving rise to the conflicts.”

“Each new session of the General Assembly brings with it a new opportunity to demonstrate again our commitment to the ideals set forth in the Charter. Therefore, let us begin the work of this session mindful of that opportunity and of our obligation to unite in the spirit of the Charter for the settlement of the many and grave problems facing us. A start towards their solutions, moreover, must be made quickly in order to prevent world tensions from reaching a level that will make an explosion inevitable, thus creating further suffering to mankind and making the goal of world peace even more difficult to achieve. 74. The intensity of the warfare in Viet-Nam is increasing; those involved cling just as rigidly to their own positions and become even more suspicious of each other's intentions.”

“72. Mr. President, please allow me, first of all, to congratulate you on your election to the important position of President of the General Assembly at this Session, and to thank the retiring President, Ambassador Pazhwak, for his valuable service in presiding over three difficult consecutive sessions. In extending our felicitations, Mr. President, my delegation and Government wish to assure you that we are confident that you will fulfil your new duties with the same distinction which has characterized your service to the cause of the United Nations in the past. We also welcome you as representing an important region of the world community which, we regret, has not previously been called upon to provide leadership to the Assembly. 73.”

“It will cooperate with like-minded delegations towards making this Organization and its organs more representative and more effective. 160. Finally, my delegation would like to add its voice to the appeal made by the representative who spoke before me that our highly esteemed friend, U Thant, will remain in our midst as Secretary-General.”

“The freedom-loving peoples of the world expect that the Assembly at this session will finally leave the years of dilemma behind it and that it will arrive at firm decisions which, when translated into action, will herald the arrival of a new era of freedom and independence for the unfortunate people of South West Africa. 159. The decision of my Government to resume full participation in the activities of the United Nations shows beyond the slightest doubt its determination to co-operate with other members in realizing the purposes and aims of the Organization as embodied in the Charter. My delegation is happy to note that efforts to improve the structure and machinery of the Organization have started to bear fruit.”

“It is not my intention to elaborate upon the many important items contained in the agenda of this session. My delegation hopes to give its views at the appropriate time when those problems are discussed in the Committees. However, I should like to express the view of the Indonesian Government regarding one problem which is being discussed by the Assembly. It is regarding the question of South West Africa. I shall not go into the details of the issue. Many of the representatives have already contributed to the discussions and have catalogued the events that have happened during these years and the decisions already taken by the General Assembly in the period of the past twenty years. My delegation considers the problem of South West Africa as one of the most acute issues of colonialism.”

“It shows that we, the developing nations in Asia, if left alone, are able to solve our differences and disputes in a peaceful manner. 157. It is against this background that my delegation views the disputes and conflicts in our immediate surroundings of South-East Asia. In Viet-Nam the conflict which has been going on for many years has caused thousands of deaths and great destruction. The Indonesian people, who had the same experience during their fight for independence, understand and share the innermost feelings of our brothers in Viet-Nam. In the words of the Secretary-General, U Thant, our hearts go out to them. The Government of Indonesia will support every sincere effort to put an end to the war in Viet-Nam, in order that the Viet-Namese people may decide its future by itself in peace without outside interference. 158.”

“The Assembly is aware that this independent and active foreign policy, this policy of non-alignment, aims at lessening regional and world tension in order to establish peace. World peace will enable the developing nations to concentrate on the achievement of the welfare and prosperity of their respective peoples, in co-operation with other nations. 156. It is in this search for peace and friendship that Indonesia has reached agreement with a neighbouring and brotherly country, the Federation of Malaysia, to end their dispute. The causes of that unfortunate dispute are known to this Assembly. The recent agreement, signed on 11 August 1966, stands out as proof of the determination of both nations to live in peace and amity with each other. The re-establishment of peace between Indonesia and Malaysia is a very significant fact.”

“My Government believes that the implementation of the other parts of the programme will be very much facilitated if inflation is checked, the country's economic infrastructure rehabilitated and improved, production increased and the balance of trade redressed. 154. In the field of foreign relations, the Indonesian Government will continue to pursue its traditional policy of non-alignment — an independent and active foreign policy. Indonesia will continue to support the struggle of all peoples under colonial rule who are fighting for freedom and independence. Indonesia will continue, as it has always done in the past, to work together with other nations in the common struggle against imperialism and colonialism in all its forms and manifestations. 155.”

“The present Government of Indonesia, since its formation about two months ago, has declared itself committed to implementing the programme which has been laid down by the People's Consultative Assembly, the highest policy-making body in Indonesia. The programme contains the following four points: (a) the stabilization and development of the country's economy; (b) preparation for the general elections to be held within two years; (c) an active and independent foreign policy; and (d) the struggle against colonialism and imperialism. Of these four points, the Indonesian Government puts the emphasis upon the stabilization and development of the nation's economy. I do not need to elaborate upon the present economic situation in Indonesia, as the Assembly is fully cognizant of it.”

“151. I wish to congratulate Mr. Pazhwak on his unanimous election as President of this twenty-first session of the General Assembly. He has served his great country in a very distinguished manner as its representative to the United Nations, and his election underlines the confidence and faith of the whole membership of this Organization in his wisdom and ability. Abdul Rahman Pazhwak is not a stranger to Indonesia. He has visited my country more than once on missions of historic importance. My delegation joins the President in the hope that this session, combining wisdom with accomplishments, will indeed become known as the "Assembly of Reason". 152. My delegation also associates itself with previous speakers in welcoming the Republic of Guyana as a Member of this Organization. 153.”
