1. “We thus link our congratulations on his election with an expression of hope that, by the time this Assembly has concluded its work, we shall be closer to the solution of some of the grave international problems, and that our joint efforts, under his wise leadership, may have contributed to this end. 5. The hazards and dangers which we find in the present international situation were clearly discerned by the Secretary-General in his annual report to the General Assembly [A/7201 and Add.1].”

2. “May I also avail myself of this opportunity to express, on behalf of the delegation of Austria, all good wishes to the delegation of Swaziland, which we have had the opportunity of welcoming to our midst as the newest Member of our Organization. The accession of Swaziland to independence marked another step in the long process which, over the past two decades, has led one-third of mankind from colonial dependence to independence and equality in the family of nations. 4. Our President has assumed his functions at a moment marked by uncertainty and tension.”

3. “1. May I ask you, Sir, to convey to the President of the General Assembly at this session, Mr. Arenales, our sincere congratulations upon his election to the highest office of this Assembly. We are fortunate indeed that our deliberations will be guided by a President who, as Foreign Minister of his country, is playing such an active role on the present international political scene, and who, through his past experience at the United Nations, has acquired a deep insight into the problems and procedures of our Organization. 2. I also wish to associate myself with previous speakers who from this rostrum expressed appreciation to the Foreign Minister of Romania, Mr. Corneliu Manescu, who served with such distinction as President of the General Assembly at its twenty-second session. 3.”
