WELLINGTON: THURSDAY, 8 JUNE 1972

The Third Session of the Thirty-sixth Parliament of New Zealand was this day
opened by the Governor-General, when His Excellency was pleased to make the
following statement of the causes of the calling of this session of Parliament
together.

HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

It is four years since I first addressed you in Parliament assembled.
My term as representative of Her Majesty the Queen in this, the
country of my birth, is now drawing to a close. No greater honour
could have been bestowed on me and no commission could have given
me greater pleasure. When my wife and I depart later this year
we shall leave behind many friends, but take with us memories of
a beautiful country and a warm and friendly people whose loyalty
to their Queen is second to none.

Honourable Members, my Ministers have welcomed the signs of
relaxation of tension and the improvement in the relationships between
the Great Powers, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the
People's Republic of China. They regret that areas of instability
persist in Asia. They are concerned that the conflict in Indo-China
has erupted with renewed aggression by North Vietnam. My Government
will continue to support the efforts being made to bring an
end to the war and to achieve a settlement which preserves the
freedom of choice of the people of South Vietnam.

My Government was concerned also by the failure of the United
Nations to grapple seriously with the situation in East Bengal and
it joined in the humanitarian initiatives taken to promote a peaceful
settlement. It has recognised the new State of Bangladesh and will
continue a substantial programme of economic aid to that country.
