  1. “Since Thailand consistently advocates and maintains its policy of reciprocal friendship with all its neighbours—and indeed with all countries—irrespective of differences in political, economic or social systems and on the basis of both mutual respect of each other's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity and the principle of non-interference in each other's internal affairs, it is patently clear, therefore, that the Lao statement referring to Thailand's policy as being "unfriendly" is not born out by the facts.”

  2. “My delegation wishes to reiterate here that Thailand entertains no aggressive design against any of its neighbours, including Democratic Kampuchea, nor has it any ambition for territorial gain from them. In respect of Democratic Kampuchea, Thailand still strictly abides by the joint communiqué of 31 October 1975 between the two countries. 158. My delegation listened with interest to the statement of the Chairman of the delegation of the Lao People's Democratic Republic of 3 October 1977 in this same hail.”

  3. “None the less, the Thai Government has made repeated efforts to hold talks with Democratic Kampuchea on border questions, as well as on other matters affecting the relations between our two countries, through the liaison officers appointed by the two Governments in November 1975. To our regret, our repeated attempts to make contact with the Cambodian liaison officer have been ignored. Moreover, our efforts to initiate a dialogue with Democratic Kampuchea in a few capital cities where both Governments are represented have thus far been unsuccessful. However, my Government is determined to continue in our quest to have the border problems with Democratic Kampuchea settled peacefully in accordance with our basic policy of peaceful coexistence with all our neighbours.”

  4. “In this regard, Thailand has been actively engaged in that co-operative endeavour in order to help to improve the over-all political climate in the region. 156. It is regrettable that, although Thailand was the first among the ASEAN nations to re-establish diplomatic relations with Democratic Kampuchea at the end of 1975, border problems between the two countries have continued, resulting in much loss of life and damage to property. My Government had hoped that, given the desire to avoid bloodshed and sincere efforts on both sides to arrive at a good understanding with each other, the difficulties could be surmounted by diplomatic negotiations. 157. Unfortunately, the border situation has become worse.”

  5. “My Government is of the view that full efforts should be made to enhance the prospect of better understanding among all South-East Asian countries and that every avenue of peaceful and constructive co-operation should be explored on the basis of equality and mutuality of interests. Thailand has accordingly been encouraged by recent progress towards the establishment of an interim committee with Laos and Viet Nam on the United Nations-sponsored Lower Mekong Basin Project under the aegis of ESCAP. The reactivation of that scheme will pave the way for co-operation among the riparian States concerned. In this connexion, it is hoped that in due course Democratic Kampuchea will also resume its participation in that beneficial regional project.”

  6. “Now that all the countries of South-East Asia have been admitted as peace-loving Members of this Organization a unique opportunity offers itself for more productive pursuits and beneficial undertakings among countries of the region, regardless of differences in their political, economic or social systems. 154. The five Heads of Government of the Association of South-East Asian Nations met recently in Kuala Lumpur, on 4 and 5 August 1977, to celebrate ASEAN tenth anniversary and to review the development and progress of the organization during its first decade. In assessing political developments affecting the ASEAN region the five Heads of Government reaffirmed their Governments' desire to develop peaceful and mutually beneficial relations with all countries in the region, including the three countries of Indo-China. 155.”

  7. “The latter is a neighbour of ours, and we were pleased to be one of the sponsors of the resolution on its admission to the United Nations, Thailand looks forward to co-operating closely with both the new Members in the General Assembly and in other forums of the United Nations. My delegation is particularly heartened by the reiteration by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam [3rd meeting] of its policy of peace towards its South-East Asian neighbours, which augurs well for the peace and stability as well as the progress and prosperity of South-East Asia. 153.”

  8. “150. Mr. President, allow me at the outset to offer my warmest congratulations to you on your election to the high office of the presidency of the current session of the General Assembly. I wish you every success in your undertaking, and I should like to pledge my delegation's full co-operation in your performance of the duties entrusted to you by the world community. 151. I wish to pay a high tribute to Ambassador Amerasinghe of Sri Lanka, a distinguished son of Asia, for the statesmanlike manner in which he presided over the thirty- first session of the General Assembly in the past year. We all owe him a great debt of gratitude for his tireless efforts and his sincere dedication to his task. 152. I wish also to extend a cordial welcome to the two new Members of the Organization, Djibouti and Viet Nam.”
