text: (Mr. Gyi, Burma) have taken place at the bilateral level. There have been assertions that the politics of arms control often intensify rather than dampen the arms race, and there may be a ring of truth in this, as it is seen that contradictory aims are being pursued by the intensification of the arms race while negotiations are in progress. My delegation would like to reiterate that, in order not to defeat the purpose of the negotiations , measures reducing tensions , creating confidence between States and facilitating the ~uccess of the negotiations should also be pursued . such measures should not be a substitute for disarmament agreements and, in view of their interim nature, verification should not become a problem. They should constitute informal constraints on nuclear and space arms, such as a moratorium on nuclear tests and a halt on the testing of space weapons. The year 1985 can be said to be the year of revival of the bilateral negotiations, and this should give a renewed sense of hopefulness, as the year preceding it had witnessed an abeyance of the bilateral talks, and the disarmament process can be said to have then been at its lowest ebb. We share the international community's hope for a positive outcome of the summit meeting in November , and this historic opportunity should not be lost. At the same time, the complementary nature of multilateral efforts in the First Committee, with its comprehensive international representation, as well as the Conference on Disarmament in its role as the only negotiating multilateral forum, requires intensification of efforts in these forums. The Group of 21, in its statement on 21 February this year, has urged all members to make full use of the Conference on Disarmament as a negotiating forum in
