“I should also like to extend a warm welcome to the new Members of the United Nations — Malawi, Malta and Zambia. I congratulate the people and the leaders of these independent countries for the orderly and peaceful manner in which they have achieved their independence. We wish them all success in the difficult task that lies ahead in developing their economy and improving the social and economic life of their people. We are confident that these three new Members will contribute greatly to our work in the United Nations in the cause of world peace. 81. Important developments have taken place during the period since we met here last year. For India, it has been a sad year. The passing away of Jawaharlal Nehru has been a cruel blow.”

“79. Mr. President, on behalf of my delegation, I wish, first of all, to express to you our sincerest congratulations on your unanimous election as President of the nineteenth session of the General Assembly. You are no stranger to this Assembly, nor are you a stranger to my delegation. During your tenure as the head of the delegation of Ghana, you have been an esteemed colleague, both at the United Nations and outside. It is only proper and fitting that, when the fires of freedom and independence are lit in almost all parts of Africa, a representative of that great continent should preside over the deliberations of the Assembly. We consider ourselves fortunate that we should be guided by your wisdom and experience and may I pledge the fullest co-operation of my delegation to you in the discharge of your onerous duties. 80.”
