  1. Aggravation of the dangerous situation in Lebanon end the absence of practical results in resolving the Palestine problem, despite realism and the desire to co-operate demonstrated by the PLO leadership, emphatically underline the need to achieve an early and comprehensive settlement of the Middle East crisis and to convene for this purpose an international conference, with the participation of all the interested parties, including the State of Palestine and the permanent members of the Security Council. The right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and that of all States o£ the region to a secure existence should be ensured. The Mongolian people's Republic is in favour of full implementation of the United Nations plan on the granting of independence to Namibia.

  2. We welcome the withdrawal of the Vietnamese volunteers as announced earlier and we hope that the dialogue that took place or. the Cambodian issue will continue and bring about a comprehensive solution to that problem. As in the past, Mongolia advocates a peaceful and democratic reunification of Korea without outside interference. I wish to note here the importance of exerting further efforts toward undertaking an inter-Korean dialogue.

    1989-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 44 (1989)

  3. My Government has recently advanced an idea with regard to the possibility of holding a dialogue on a regular basis among the countries of the northern part of the region of Asia and the Pacific. It seeks to help find ways and means of developing co-operation in various areas, settling existing problems, and strengthening mutual understanding and confidence among the nations of the region. We invite the parties concerned to reflect on this idea and to exchange views on it. The Mongolian Government favours an early political solution to regional conflicts. We call for an immediate cessation of the bloodshed in Afghanistan. The Geneva Agreements must be strictly implemented by all parties. It is important, in our view, to examine closely the recent proposals, which could create additional opportunities for resolving this problem.

    1989-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 44 (1989)

  4. Experience shows that it is better to seek generally acceptable solutions through dialogue and negotiations. It is pertinent to stress here the importance of normal, close relations between the great Powers of the region. In this connection, we wish to stress the truly international significance of the normalization of relations between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. Mongolia is seeking to contribute to the positive changes in our region. Our response to this improved atmosphere in our region has been evidenced by the Mongolian and Soviet agreements on the withdrawal of a major portion of the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia and by the decision on a marked reduction of our armed forces and military expenditures.

    1989-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 44 (1989)

  5. We see the primary objective of the international community in the sustained consolidation of the present positive trends. Equally important is the task of promoting trust and mutual understanding between States at both the global and the regional level. Thi3 is also essential for developing broad, mutually beneficial international co-operation and for tackling the existing serious problems. In this regard, the region of Asia and the Pacific to which my country belongs deserves special attention. As is known, the most protracted and acute regional conflicts continue to exist there. The reduction of military confrontation, the elimination of foreign military bases and the development of economic, ecological and other co-operation are issues that must be duly dealt with.

    1989-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 44 (1989)

  6. The realization of that policy by my Government is evidenced in its obtaining of Observer status in the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries, in its membership in the Group of 77 in the establishment of diplomatic relations with the European Economic Community, and in its efforts to obtain membership in the Asian Development Bank. Apart from that, efforts are being made to broaden its political, trade, economic aid cultural co-operation with other States. We are interested in making substantial headway in developing mutually advantageous trade and economic ties with the market economies. Initial steps are being taken towards that end. All of this is needed, in our view, in order to lay the foundation for the subsequent constructive participation of Mongolia in a broader regional and international integration.

    1989-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 44 (1989)

  7. In order to achieve these goals it is equally important to set in motion both domestic and external factors. It is against this background that certain aspects of our foreign policy are under review. The relations of Mongolia with the socialist countries under the impact of ongoing restructuring processes are assuming an increasingly business-like character and their effectiveness is growing. The Mongolian People's Republic, as a developing country, is endeavouring to enhance this status in international organizations and to strengthen its solidarity and co-operation with the other developing countries within the framework of these organizations. We are reconsidering our staid vis-à-vis certain international economic and monetary-financial institutions with a view to benefiting from the services they render to developing countries.

    1989-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 44 (1989)

  8. The Mongolian delegation fully shares the idea of enhancing the role of the United Nations in the prevention of problems, expressed by the Secretary-General in his report on the work of the Organization. The Mongolian People's Republic will strive to expand its practical co-operation with the United Nations and the organizations of its system. A process of critical analysis of all experience in constructing our socialist society and of drawing appropriate lessons for the future, is under way in my country. The problems which my country faces in its development today are typical of those facing many developing countries. The essence of these problems lies in the necessity to accelerate socio-economic development and on this basis to improve the well-being of the people.

    1989-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 44 (1989)

  9. Hare the tendency towards co-operation is being strengthened aid the United Nations is being used in a manner in which it was originally conceived by its founders. The Mongolian people's Republic welcomes the intensification of the peace-making efforts of the United Nations and the good offices of secretary-General, Mr. Perez de Cuellar, and wishes him further success in his noble endeavours. We advocate a broader release of the potential of the world Organization for the resolution of global problems, such as disarmament, putting an end to regional conflicts, overcoming the socio-economic and technological backwardness of developing countries, and for the resolution of the problems of external indebtedness, protection of the environment, the struggle against the traffic in narcotic drugs, and others.

    1989-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 44 (1989)

  10. There is a continuing dialogue between the great Powers in the search for ways aid means of fostering detente in all its dimensions. An all-European process encompasses new frontiers. An ever increasing number of States are contributing to the efforts to solve acute regional problems. Awareness and concern over the world-wide harmful consequences of the ecological crisis and the inequitable international economic order are growing. The importance of a comprehensive approach to the problems of strengthening international peace and security is gaining increasing recognition. One of the new trends of the present time is the growing prestige and role of the United Nations in world affairs.

    1989-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 44 (1989)

  11. Such optimism may be attributed, above all, to the emerging consensus in the international community on the necessity for the coexistence and co-operation of all States and to the experiences gained and the achievements made in resolving contemporary issues. In our view, the present positive trend is likely to succeed and to become a continuous and irreversible process. The first stones of its foundation are being hewn from very solid elements, expressing a balance of the legitimate interests of the parties in the spirit of the Charter of the United Nations. This reinforces our belief in the possibility of creating a more just and humane future. It will naturally require extensive joint efforts on the part of all States. It is important that the majority of States already realize this fact more clearly and are acting accordingly.

    1989-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 44 (1989)

  12. First of all let me congratulate Mr. Joseph Garba on his election to the presidency of the current session of the General Assembly. We wish him great success in carrying out his important duties. We join with previous speakers who have expressed their gratitude to his predecessor, Mr. Dante Caputo, for his skilful guidance of the work of the last session. The United Nations, as a universal instrument for the maintenance of a secure world order, vividly reflects the changes in the political climate of the world. It is gratifying to note that in the course of the last two or three years optimistic voices have been clearly heard within this house concerning a renewed relaxation of international tensions. We share this optimism.

    1989-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 44 (1989)

  13. Consideration, at this session, of the implementation of the declaration on the Right of Peoples to Peace will once again draw the attention of whole world community to this important question. Permit me, in conclusion, to express the hope that at the present session the General Assembly will make a specific contribution to the consolidation of positive changes and to the search for ways and means to eliminate negative phenomena from today's international life.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  14. The Mongolian People's Republic submits that international problems, including humanitarian Issues, should be resolved In a spirit of cooperation on the basis of full respect for the principles of the national sovereignty of States and non-interference in their Internal affairs. Though 40 years have elapsed mince the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we are still witnessing mass violations of these rights. The right of whole nations to self determination has not yet been realized. The conflict situations and the arms race impede the implementation of the right of peoples to peace and development. In this connection, the United Nations Declaration on the Right of Peoples to Peace remains topical.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  15. The seriousness of problems such as the underdevelopment and external indebtedness of the developing countries and the upsetting of the ecological balance as well as other issues calls for urgent actions designed to solve these problems. In this context the implementation of effective measures in the field of disarmament and the transfer for development purposes of the resources thereby released would be of great significance. The specific ways and means of resolving the problems afflicting world economic relations should be reflected in the United Nations international development strategy for the 19908.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  16. They have further developed the Vladivostok initiatives and are specifically desisted to reduce the military confrontation in the Asia-Pacific region, to broaden good-neighbourly relations among the countries and to consolidate peace and stability in this part of the world. We welcome the further intensification and improvement of relations between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China as a factor the importance of which cannot be overestimated in strengthening confidence and co-operation, peace, and security in Asia and throughout the world. The Mongolian People's Republic stands for the restructuring of international economic relations on a democratic and equitable basis and for the establishment of a new international economic security.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  17. Batmunkh, has pointed out the Mongolian People’s Republic consistently advocates the strengthening of confidence and the development of co-operation between the Asian States and endeavours, within its means, to contribute to the achievement of the overall Asian security objectives. This desire has led to the proposal made by Mongolia for the establishment of a mechanism ruling out the use of force in the relations between the States of the Asia-Pacific region. The implementation of this proposal would foster the consolidation of the universal principle of peaceful co-existence in the relations between the States of the region. The recant proposals made by Comrade M.S. Gorbachev in Krasnoyarsk reflect the spirit of the new political thinking.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  18. We resolutely condemn the apartheid policy of the South African racist regime and advocate the imposition on it of comprehensive and Mandatory sanctions, as provided for in Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. The general tendency towards improvement of the political climate did not fail to include the Asian commitment. At the same time, most of the above-mentioned regional conflicts exist there. Apart from that, the Asia-Pacific region is becoming the arena for the increasing military build-up of the United States of America and its allies. These and other factors testify to the complexity of the situation in the region. It is therefore in the interests of the peace and security of the Asia-Pacific region actively to seek ways and means of combining the efforts of all the States situated here. As our leader, Comrade J.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  19. The open interference of the United States of America in the Internal affairs of the Republic of Nicaragua constitutes the main obstacle to the realisation of the Guatemala agreements and of the national reconciliation policy of the Sandinista Government, we express full support for, and solidarity with, the struggle of the Nicaraguan people for the realization of their inalienable right to follow the path they have decided. No one has a right to encroach upon the freedom of choice of any people. The current efforts with regard to the granting of independence to Namibia kindle hopes for a speedy solution to this problem. My Government welcomes the quadripartite negotiations of Angola, Cuba, the United States of America and South Africa designed to remove the seat of tension in the south of Africa.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  20. The road to such a solution lies through the convening of an international conference with the participation of the parties concerned7 including the Palestine Liberation Organization and the permanent members of the Security Council. The right of the Palestinian people to self-determination should be ensured. Israel must relinquish the occupied Arab territories. The unresolved situation in Central America is a cause of grave concern.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  21. We support the proposals by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea with a view to laying the foundation for the peaceful reunification of Korea. The obstacles that prevent Korea from occupying its rightful place in the United Nations as a full-fledged Member should be eliminated. As in the past, the Mongolian People's Republic supports the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus and its non-aligned status. We welcome the present dialogue between the representatives of the two communities of Cyprus under the auspices of the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The situation in the Middle East has recently further deteriorated. Such a development emphatically underlines once more the urgent need for a comprehensive solution to the crisis.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  22. In our view, the proposals put forward at the meeting by the People's Republic of Kampuchea and the Lao People's Democratic Republic would serve as a good basis for the settlement of the problem of Kampuchea and for stabilization of the situation in the region. Another positive event is the cessation of the Iran-Iraq war. My Government sincerely welcomes the beginning of talks between the two parties and expresses the hope that they will lead to a final settlement of this conflict. A hotbed of tension persists on the Korean peninsula. The Mongolian People's Republic consistently supports the withdrawal of foreign troops and nuclear weapons from South Korea and the conversion of the peninsula into a zone of peace.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  23. My delegation supports the proposals to consider the implementation of the Geneva Agreements and the questions concerning the cessation of their violation. As in the past, the Mongolian People’s Republic is in favour of turning South-East Asia into a zone of peace, stability and co-operation. We welcome the intensification of dialogue between the countries of Indo-China and the members of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASSAM) with a view to finding a political solution to the Kampuchean problem. We welcome the outcome of the informal meeting held in Jakarta between the representatives of four Kampuchean parties and the countries of South-East Asia.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  24. Although the third special session of the United Nations General Assembly devoted to disarmament was unable to adopt a final document, it has nevertheless provided an impetus to the practical consideration of ways and means of attaining the goals of disarmament. The political settlement of conflicts in the world constitutes one of the crucial prerequisites for the building of a solid foundation for universal peace and security. Tangible progress has been made in resolving some of the conflicts. However, a long and difficult road still lies ahead. The conclusion of the Geneva Agreements on the settlement of the problems relating to Afghanistan has become an extremely important issue. The implementation of these Agreements demonstrates how important it is for all the parties strictly to observe their obligations.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  25. We shall continue to support measures such as the strict observance of the Geneva· Protocol of 1925. One of top priority tasks in the field of disarmament is the reduction of conventional armaments and armed forces. In this respect the ongoing active search for ways of reducing the military confrontation in Europe is а matter of satisfaction. The constructive proposal of the States Members of the Warsaw Treaty Organisation to this effect serve, in our view, as a sound basis for the achievement of mutually acceptable agreements. The government of the Mongolian Peopled Republic shares the view that the sale and supply of conventional weapons mist be placed under international control.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  26. It is pertinent in this regard to emphasise the Importance of preventing a situation in which disarmament in one field would lead to an arms race in another. This question is important from both the political and the military technological point of view. The most Important task has been and continues to be a complete ban on nuclear tests, the further strengthening of the non-proliferation regime of nuclear weapons and the establishment of nuclear-free zones and zones of peace in various parts of the world, The need for a ban on chemical weapons is of particular urgency at the present time. The Government of the Mongolian People's Republic actively supports the early completion of the work on the elaboration of an international convention on the complete prohibition and elimination of these weapons of mass destruction.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  27. This is the main thrust of the proposal by the socialist countries regarding the establishment of a comprehensive system of international peace and security. Disarmament is one of the main roads to a secure world. The most difficult but the most essential step on that road was made by the conclusion of the Soviet-American INF Treaty and the commencement of its implementation. This should be followed by other more significant steps in reducing strategic arms, steps that should not be episodic but that would result in an irreversible and continuous process. In tills regard we look forward to the early attainment of an agreement on the 50 per cent reduction on strategic offensive armaments.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  28. Space weapons would hang like the sword of Damocles over every country, regardless of its location, since such weapons would be an omnipresent threat. Outer space should serve peaceful purposes only. Specific guarantees are needed to ensure that life on Earth is not threatened from space. In our view, the realization of the proposal to set up an international organisation on the peaceful uses of outer space would greatly help to promote the attainment of this objective. Universal security should be fully guaranteed on Earth as well. As we see it, the notion of security is made up of a number of interrelated factors - above all, military, political, economic humanitarian and ecological. In other words, the problem calls for a comprehensive approach to collective security, as envisaged by the Charter of file United Nations.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  29. It is not the policy of acting "from a position of strength" but the policy of reason, of realism and of a responsible attitude towards universal human values that is now needed to guide mankind onto the path towards a secure and non-violent future. The inherent danger of continuing work ш the "Star Wars” programme is that it could thwart the Soviet-American negotiations on deep cuts in strategic offensive armaments and of frustrating the efforts to prevent the militarisation of space. The development of weapons in space would not only signify a qualitatively new stage in the arms race, but would in itself pose a grave threat and contradict the logic of disarmament that has already been set in motion by the realisation of the INF Treaty.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  30. While duly acknowledging the positive changes that are taking place in the world, we cannot overlook the fact that the situation still remains complex and in many respects contradictory. The· changing plans for ‘compensation’ through the modernization of various types of weapons, both nuclear and conventional, are a sign of the reluctance to give up an obsolete concept of "nuclear deterrence". This means that the policy of acting "from a position of strength" still remains the main postulate of those who are preparing such plans. One can hardly agree with those who claim that the policy of acting "from a position of strength" has brought about the present positive shifts in the world, when it is precisely that policy that at one time gave rise to an unbridled nuclear arms race, holding the world hostage to nuclear intimidation.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  31. It might be said that the Soviet-American interaction has generated many positive changes of global dimensions. In this context, the Moscow summit meeting deserves special commendation. The Movement of Non-Aligned Countries, as an independent and influential force in today's world, is playing a positive role in the solution of pressing international issues. This is evidenced by the outcome of the Havana and Nicosia meetings of foreign ministers of non-aligned countries. Public demand is making an increasing contribution to the struggle for cassation of the arms race, the elimination of the threat of a nuclear war, and the strengthening of mutual understanding, trust and co-operation among peoples.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  32. There are promising signs of an end to regional conflicts on the basis of a national reconciliation policy and a realistic approach. The role of the United Nations in resolving international problems is increasing considerably. The tangible results of the peace-making activities of the United Nations and the purposeful efforts of its Secretary-General are evident. The award of the Nobel Peace Prise to the United Nations peacekeeping forces is further evidence of the support which the world community is now listening to the Organisation. The Soviet-American dialogue is assuming new aspects; it is becoming more dynamic and stable. The exceptional importance of this dialogue arises from the role played by the· two Powers in world politics.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  33. The present session of the United Nations General Assembly is taking place at a propitious time in history , a time when the growing trend in world political is the recognition of the common destiny of peoples, the interdependence of countries and the need to resolve urgent current problems in the spirit of the Charter of the United Nations and on the basis of constructive co-operation and mutual respect for the legitimate interests of the parties concerned. This is borne out by s generally positive development of from events in the world. The development in the political climate and the strengthening of mutual understanding and confidence between East and West are increasingly felt. As α result, the threat of a nuclear wet is diminishing. The first steps towards genuine disarmament have been taken.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  34. I should like to associate ,myself with the greetings and congratulations extended to Mr. Dante Caputo of Argentina on his election to his high office. The Mongolian delegation wishes hi, great success in discharging his responsible duties. we take this opportunity to express our gratitude to his predecessor, Comrade Peter Florin, for his skilful handling of the work of the forty-second session of the United Nations General Assembly and that of its third special session devoted to disarmament.

    1988-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 43 (1988)

  35. The Mongolian delegation would like to reaffirm that it will actively cooperate, as before, with other States Members of the United Nations to promote a positive solution to the problems confronting the present session.

    1983-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 38 (1983)

  36. Mongolia fully supports the demands of the developing countries for practical measures aimed at a radical restructuring of international economic relations on a just and democratic basis. We favour the early commencement of global negotiations within the framework of the United Nations on pressing economic problems, in accordance with the decision of the General Assembly. 71. The Mongolian People's Republic, true to the noble aims and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, once again declares itself in favour of enhancing the effectiveness of this authoritative international Organization as an important instrument for maintaining the peace and security of the peoples.

    1983-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 38 (1983)

  37. In this connection, we welcome the efforts of the countries of the Contadora Group. In our opinion, the matter would also be facilitated by discussion of this problem in the United Nations. 68. The Mongolian people firmly support the struggle of the Namibian people and their vanguard, the South West Africa People's Organization [SPK4PO], for their freedom and independence. It favours the immediate implementation of the relevant United Nations resolutions on Namibia and rejects all attempts to link the solution of this problem to other, unrelated issues. 69. The Mongolian People's Republic supports the efforts to bring about a peaceful and just solution to the Cyprus problem that will ensure the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus. 70.

    1983-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 38 (1983)

  38. The improvement of relations between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China is of great importance for the strengthening of peace and security in Asia and throughout the world. It is in this context that we view the continued Soviet-Chinese contacts and consultations at the political level. 65. We greatly appreciate the positive role of the peaceful and constructive foreign policy of the Republic of India in Asian and world affairs. 66. The Mongolian People's Republic strongly condemns the policy of diktat, blackmail and gross interference by the United States in the internal affairs of the States of Central America and the Caribbean and its attempts to deny the peoples of that region the right to determine their own destiny. 67. The conflict in Central America should be settled by political means.

    1983-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 38 (1983)

  39. The existence of a great number of sources of tension and conflicts on the vast continent of Asia makes it incumbent upon us to enforce the principle of the non- use of force as an indisputable law in relations between the States of that continent. That is what gives special significance to our proposal put forward in 1981 on the conclusion of a convention on mutual non-aggression and non-use of force in relations between the States of Asia and the Pacific/ This initiative of the Mongolian People's Republic is in keeping with the many concrete proposals and initiatives of other States directed at the solution of problems by peaceful means, at strengthening confidence and at developing good-neighbourly relations both in Asia and in other parts of the world. 64.

    1983-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 38 (1983)

  40. The Mongolian People's Republic has consistently supported the struggle of the Korean people for the peaceful and democratic reunification of their country without foreign interference. In this connection, we stress once again the need for the withdrawal of the American troops and nuclear facilities from the south of Korea. 61. The Mongolian delegation, as before, considers that the fratricidal war between Iran and Iraq, which only plays into the hands of the imperialist forces, should be ended. 62. Mongolia, together with all peace-loving States, supports the implementation of the Declaration of the Indian Ocean as a Zone of Peace and favours the speedy convening of an international conference to that end. 63.

    1983-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 38 (1983)

  41. The Mongolian People's Republic favours a political solution to the problem around Afghanistan on the basis of the realistic proposals made by the Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan on 14 May 1980s and 24 August 1981.3 A political settlement can be achieved only if all forms of interference in the internal affairs of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, including armed interference, are completely eliminated and a reliable guarantee provided that such intervention will cease and not recur in the future. We hope that the dialogue between the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan and Pakistan, through the good offices of the representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, will yield positive results. 60.

    1983-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 38 (1983)

  42. The Mongolian People's Republic regards the new constructive initiatives put forward by the three countries of Indo-China in their declaration dated 23 February 1983, published at the conclusion of their summit conference at Vietnams, as a timely step towards easing the tension in South-East Asia and towards the creation of the necessary conditions for changing that region into a zone of peace, stability and co-operation. 59.

    1983-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 38 (1983)

  43. 57. In South-East Asia, the imperialist and hegemonistic forces are attempting to achieve their narrow, selfish aims by inciting certain States against ethers. They are doing everything they can to block the efforts being made to create an atmosphere of trust and mutual understanding among the countries of that region and are continuing to interfere in their internal affairs. These same forces are preventing the People's Republic of Kampuchea from occupying its legitimate seat at the United Nations. 58.

    1983-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 38 (1983)

  44. The current developments in Lebanon once again confirm the complete bankruptcy of half-way policies and separate deals in solving the existing problems and testify to the imperative need for the immediate withdrawal of the troops of the aggressors from the country. 56. Mongolia has consistently supported a comprehensive settlement for the Middle East problem. We consider that this can be facilitated by convening an international conference with the participation of all interested parties, including the Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO], the sole legitimate representative of the Arab people of Palestine. The Mongolian People's Republic fully supports the Geneva Declaration on Palestine' and the Programme of Action for the Achievement of Palestinian Rights' adopted at the recent International Conference on the Question of Palestine.

    1983-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 38 (1983)

  45. The situation has been further aggravated by the fact that, as a result of the continuing interference by the imperialists and their accomplices in the affairs of Asian peoples, no positive solution has been found for the existing explosive situations and acute problems. 55. This applies first and foremost to the situation in the Middle East where the United States, by encouraging Israeli aggression in every possible way, is striving to impose its imperial order. It is embarking upon a direct military adventure and involving its NATO allies. These activities are in fact leading to the partition of Lebanon, turning parts of its territory into a springboard for intervention against Syria and the progressive forces of the region.

    1983-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 38 (1983)

  46.
