The main impression that We have gathered from Our recent visit to many
countries in Africa and Europe, is that all people are primarily desirous of
working in peace to improve their standards of living. Since peace is the basic
requirement for the peoples of the world to cooperate among themselves for
the betterment of their lives, it becomes and imperative duty of the leaders of
nations, as We have often stated, to make striving for peace the primary
objective of their national and international policy. We would like to reaffirm
Our strong conviction that the principles of coexistence enunciated at the
historic conferences of Bandung and Accra should form a major basis in
international relations.
