1. “I should like to pay a tribute to the spirit of understanding and co-operation which has prevailed, enabling us to overcome all difficulties and paving the way for a solution of the financial crisis thanks to the efforts of all parties. My delegation hopes that that harsh ordeal will encourage the General Assembly to eliminate the causes of the crisis and to find the best solution to the problem of organizing and financing United Nations peace-keeping forces. 26. At our previous sessions, the General Assembly has always had to deal with problems of vital importance. At the present session, however, it is confronted with even more serious problems affecting the peace and security of the world. There is the war in Viet-Nam, the problem of Cyprus, and the armed conflict between India and Pakistan over the still unsettled question of Kashmir.”

2. “Today more than ever we feel that the existence of the United Nations is essential for the good of mankind and we must give it all the means it requires to establish and maintain universal peace and to settle international disputes by peaceful means, with due regard for the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of States, respect for the sovereignty of States and the right to self-determination. We realize that the United Nations will not be able to discharge that heavy responsibility in full without the support of all nations, great and small. 25. It has been a source of great satisfaction to see the normal resumption of work at the twentieth session after the serious crisis which the United Nations underwent at its nineteenth session and which left much bitterness in its wake.”

3. “The recent events which the United Nations has experienced, such as the crisis of the nineteenth session which brought United Nations activities almost to a standstill, the international crisis which has spread to several parts of the world and the use of force for the settlement of international disputes, have shown without the shadow of a doubt the serious repercussions of these problems on the future of the United Nations, and above all on world peace and security. 24.”

4. “My delegation welcomes the three new States — the Gambia, the Maldive Islands and Singapore — which have been admitted as Members of the United Nations. The admission of these three new Members is one more step towards making the United Nations universal. We wish them prosperity in their new life as independent nations. 22. The world is confronted with serious problems threatening its peace and security, but the efforts of the United Nations, backed by world public opinion, have succeeded in reducing tension and bringing about the necessary atmosphere for seeking a peaceful solution to these problems. 23.”

5. “His efforts to strengthen his country's relations with all other peace-loving countries, including Libya, with which Italy has always had friendly relations, have added lustre to his renown and prestige. 19. I take this opportunity also to pay a tribute to Mr. Alex Quaison-Sackey, President of the General Assembly at its nineteenth session, who, through his wisdom and determined efforts, was able to overcome the problems of a particularly difficult session. 20. I should also like to pay a warm tribute to U Thant, our Secretary-General, for his devoted efforts to bring peace to the various troubled regions of the world. In his difficult and sometimes arduous task, he never fails to comport himself as a zealous servant of the aims and ideal of the United Nations. 21.”

6. “17. We were very sorry to learn that Mr. Fanfani, the President of the General Assembly is incapacitated. I would ask you, Mr. Vice-President, to be kind enough to convey to him my delegation's best wishes for a speedy recovery and our hope that we shall soon see him back here, fully restored to health, directing the General Assembly. 18. At the same time, I would ask you to convey to Mr. Fanfani my delegation's warm congratulations of his election to the office of President of the United Nations General Assembly. The unanimous vote which he received reflects the affection and esteem in which he is held not only in his own country but throughout the world. His constructive work in the most varied fields has given him international stature as a statesman.”
