Finally, we are fully committed to multilateralism and are in favour of invigoratinq international economic co-operation. The lowering of international political tension substantially engendered by disarmament measures already undertaken, coupled with other political chanqes in Europe, has not unnaturally led to the emerqence of a new constituency within the societies of those who are the principal possessors of weapons of mass destruction.
