1. “At the outset, I wish to extend heartiest congratulations to the President on his election to the presidency of the General Assembly at its sixty-ninth session. Antigua and Barbuda looks forward to his leadership and guidance throughout this session. I also offer congratulations to his predecessor, His Excellency Ambassador John Ashe, on a job well done and on his unrelenting service to the United Nations community, particularly small island developing States. I stand before the Assembly as, perhaps, the newest Head of Government at this sixty-ninth session of the General Assembly. The political party that I have the honour to lead was democratically and overwhelmingly elected as the Government of Antigua and Barbuda a little more than three months ago. I am probably also among the youngest of the Heads of Government at this gathering.”
