President: What is your reaction to this UN session?
Malik: I think it more moderate -- on very controversial matters.
Korea was luckily pushed aside. Also Africa, thanks to Secretary
Kissinger. We feel the general situation is better than previously.
President: That is our impression. There is much work to be done but
it is best done in a constructive atmosphere.
Malik: There are some new countries which want to make a fuss, but
nothing important.
President: It is strange to realize that a country the size of Indonesia
has one vote and one with 50, 000 people also has one vote.
Malik: I think there needs to be a process of education in the UN, so
there is also a sense of responsibility. There is Lebanon, which is
delicate, but there is no unity among the Arabs, so not much chance
for solution.
President: We are anxious for Lebanon to be settled. We want to
preserve its independence and integrity. It is a terrible tragedy but
we think it is moving slowly to get better.
Malik: I think it is important for us all to do what we can, but the
parties in the area are crucial.
President: It was very nice to see you. Please give my very best
regards to President Suharto.
