Khrushchev criticizes UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld for failing to prevent the murder of Patrice Lumumba, arguing that those who enabled the conditions for his death share responsibility. He calls for the reorganization of the United Nations to ensure equal representation for all countries, asserting that its current structure serves the interests of colonial and imperial powers rather than newly independent states.

In their 1960 conversation in New York, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser discussed global political tensions, particularly US influence over the United Nations, the Congo crisis, and colonialism in Africa. Khrushchev criticized the UN Secretary-General as a tool of American imperialism and proposed a tripartite leadership structure representing socialist, imperialist, and neutral states. Nasser highlighted Western interference in African and Middle Eastern affairs, while both leaders expressed concerns about imperialist strategies and reaffirmed their commitment to supporting anti-colonial movements.

Khrushchev condemns Congolese colonizers for using "dirty tactics" to topple the democratically-elected leader of newly-independent Congo, Patrice Lumumba. He says that while they may have succeeded today, the people of Congo will rise again and reclaim their government
