  1. “We urge all countries, in particular South Africa and the Western countries, to prevent the mobilization of their nationals for such deplorable acts. 171. As the people of Mozambique attain a new status of nationhood, they face real and acute problems in the economic and social fields, the effective solution of which necessitates urgent and generous assistance from the rest of the international community. To this end, Zambia, for its part, pledges the fullest assistance. 172. Zambia has had a long and beneficial association with the nationalist movements in southern Africa. We have profound admiration and respect for the leadership of these movements. Like us in Zambia, these movements are committed to the establishment of a nonracial society in their respective countries.”

  2. “We view with dismay, for example, the ill-fated attempts by a band of white reactionary settlers in Mozambique who resorted to disorder and violence in order to frustrate the popular course of events towards independence. However, we are at the same time confident that these shameful maneuvers by a band Of settler desperadoes will be completely quashed. 170. In this regard, we condemn the massing of troops by the racist and minority regimes of South Africa and Rhodesia along the border with Mozambique. This is a flagrant act of provocation and aggression against the territorial integrity of Mozambique. We equally condemn the malicious intention Of mercenaries to perpetrate criminal acts against the people of the emerging State of Mozambique.”

  3. “In this connexion, we are gratified to learn that the nationalist movements of Angola, namely the Movimento Popular de Libertaçao [MPLA] and the Frente Nacional para la Libertaçao de Angola [FNLA] have realized the need to unite in order not only to facilitate their negotiations with Portugal, but also to guarantee thereafter a peaceful, stable and prosperous Angola; As is well known, the Organization of African Unity [OAU], acting through a committee comprising my own country Zambia together with the Congo, the United Republic of Tanzania and Zaire, has spared no effort to assist the Angolan people in this respect. 169. We are aware of the maneuvers made by certain reactionary forces whatever their motives calculated to undermine recent progressive changes tending towards the attainment of independence in Angola and Mozambique.”

  4. “We equally welcome the agreement for the granting of independence to Mozambique recently signed by the Portuguese Government and the Frente de Libertaçao de Mozambique [FRELIMO]. In the light of the good faith which has so far been demonstrated by the Portuguese Government, we look forward to an early commencement of negotiations for the independence of Angola between that Government and the African nationalists.”

  5. “In this connexion, my delegation welcomes developments in the Portuguese, colonies. We should like to commend the liberation movements in Angola, GuineaBissau, Mozambique and the Cape Verde Islands, for the recent victories which have crowned their heroic liberation struggle for self-determination and independence. The overthrow of the Caetano regime on 25 April 1974, was a direct consequence of the dynamic struggle waged by the African nationalists. It heralded new and welcome prospects for peace and democracy in Portugal and self-determination and independence for the colonies. 168. We welcome the recognition by the new Portuguese Government of the Republic of Guinea Bissau as an independent State.”

Their admission is a further step towards the realization of the principle of universality of membership of the United Nations. My delegation is confident that these new Members will play their full part in the achievement of the objectives of the United Nations in accordance with its Charter. 166. During the past year there have been a number of significant developments in various spheres of international relations. It is my delegation's wish to address itself to some of these developments. 167. In keeping with our well-known policy, Zambia continues to attach great importance to developments in the field of decolonization.”

The new policy of the Labor Government of New Zealand in relation to the situation in southern Africa which was initiated under' his leadership will continue to be regarded as a positive contribution to international peace and security. 165.”

  8. “In this connexion, I hardly need to refer to your country's role as current coordinator of the activities of the nonaligned countries.

My delegation has every confidence that under your guidance, the noble goals of freedom and justice, peace and progress, will be further advanced, for after all, these are the lofty objectives of Algeria's foreign policy, which, as in the case of my own country Zambia finds expression in the policy of non alignment.”
