"The situation in Kampuchea, arising from the Vietnamese military invasion and continued occupation of that country, directly threatens regional peace and stability, encourages big power involvement in Southeast Asia, impedes efforts towards the realisation of a Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality in Southeast Asia and inhibits the development of beneficial cooperation between the countries of ASEAN and Indochina. In this regard, the past four sessions of the UN General Assembly, and also the International Conference on Kampuchea in July 1981, had unequivocally called for a comprehensive political solution on the basis of the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Kampuchea, and the exercise of the right of self-determination by the Kampuchean people, free from foreign interference and coercion. The Non-Aligned Movement too had, on several occasions, expressed its concern over this blatant interference, and warned of the danger of the Kampuchean conflict escalating over a wider area. Unfortunately, all these calls have been ignored by the perpetrators and their powerful mentors, and also by some others who are members of this Movement, for reasons which cannot withstand examination. as to the reason why is irrelevent. The fact is that the Vietnamese forces in irresistable strength marched into Kampuchea and installed a puppet regime. And having done so the Vietnamese army stayed on to prop up that regime. Obviously, the people of Kampuchea do not suppport that regime, or why else is it necessary to have an occupation force. That a lot of Kampucheans have left their own country is further testimony that they do not support that regime or the occupation forces. That the Kampuchean refugees are willing to join up with the Coalition Government led by Prince Norodom Sihanouk proves beyond any reasonable doubt that they do not want the Heng Samrin regime or his Vietnamese backers. Yet Vietnam, and some countries, have preferred to ignore that Kampuchean independence is being violated, that all the principles that have been espoused by the Non-Aligned Movement have been ignored. Such is the fate of Kampuchea, and its leader, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, one of the founders of the Movement who sat with the late President Nasser and the late Pandit Nehru in Bandung."
