message on nuclear weapons. Such a message would be a contribution by this Committee worthy of the fortieth anniversary of the united Nations. Looking at the most recent past, some indications of a positive change in international relations have emerged. My Government has welcomed the American-Soviet talks on nuclear and space weapons which began in Geneva earlier this year.· The objectives of those talks, as defined by the parties, are shared by the international community. The comprehensive nature of those new negotiations BS/sm A/C.l/40/PV.4 17 (Mr. Tornudd, Finland) makes it possible to cover a wide range of issues relevant to the achievement of strategic stability at the lowest possible levels of armaments. The Geneva negotiations have generated hopes for early and concrete results. Yet the complexities of those negotiations should be fully recognized. There is no room for complacency or unwarranted optimism. Therefore the meeting of the leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States in Geneva next month may prove crucially important. While no spectacular agreements are to be expected from the summit, it is a unique opportunity to pave the way for a more concrete phase in the talks on nuclear and space arms. The Third Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) was successfully concluded last month. After extensive negotiations, the parties to the Treaty adopted a substantive Final Declaration by consensus. My Government believes that this is a reaffirmation of the conviction of the parties to the NPT that the Treaty is a most important instrument in the pursuit of the basic security interests of the international community. The three basic goals of the Treaty remain valid: prevention of the proliferation of nuclear weapons, development of the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and joint efforts towards nuclear disarmament.
