“For all these reasons, the occasion we are commemorating in these days acquires a special importance for Egypt as one of the 51 founding Member States that established the Organization and actively participated in drawing up its Charter and laying down its purposes and principles. This importance also derives from Egypt's geopolitical position at the heart of a region beset by conflicts and tensions. Cross its affiliation to regional and international groupings confronted with crushing, decisive issues which give rise to possibilities of peace or war, survival or death, economic growth or paralysis and deterioration. Thus, Egypt was a founding member of the League of Arab States, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries.”

“I am confident that I express the sentiments of all delegations present here when I reaffirm our solidarity with the friendly people of Mexico and reiterate that we stand by them while they are facing this distressing ordeal.
