text: was convened at New Delhi in January 1985. The six iead- ers issued a joint declaration [S/16921, annex] which urged the nuclear-weapon States to halt all testing, production and deployment of nuclear weapons and their delivery sys- tems and immediately follow this with substantial reduc- tions in nuclear forces. This first step was to be followed by a continuing programme of arms reduction leading to gen- eral and complete disarmament, accompanied by meas- ures to strengthen the United Nations system and to ensure an urgently-needed transfer of substantial resources from the arms race to social and economic development. Two specific steps identified by the six leaders were the early conclusion of a comprehensive test-ban treaty and the prevention of an arms race in outer space. 160. During our frank and stimulating discussions in the Security Council of the Secretary-General% report, several valuable ideas have been presented which, if implemented, could result in enhancing the special responsibility of the Council, acting on behalf of the international community in the collective maintenance of peace and security, and could bring it closer to the position prescribed for it in the Charter. I shall briefly touch upon some of these. We lay considerable emphasis on the Council’s role in preventive diplomacy. Measures such as informal efforts on a regular basis to control crisis situations, the dispatch of fact- finding missions, and private meetings with parties con- cerned are worth considering. 161. It is our view that the responsibilities entrusted to the Secretary-General under Article 99 of the Charter should be fully explored, and the Secretary-General enabled to pursue quiet diplomacy and his role of good offrces wherever appropriate and necessary. In this con- text, we emphasize the crucial importance of’establishing relations of trust and co-operation between the Security Council and the Secretary-General, as envisaged in the Charter. 
analysis: The text discusses international relations, disarmament, and the role of the United Nations Security Council, which suggests that the topic is related to international politics and governance. The mention of "nuclear weapons" and "arms reduction" implies a focus on security and defense, which is a critical aspect of international relations.
