“The task of the President of the General Assembly is not an easy one. The problems that arise are many and complex. They must be solved harmoniously, in strict observance of the Charter and the rules of procedure of the General Assembly. Thus, the President is called upon to display understanding tempered by prudence, flexibility matching firmness, and a spirit of conciliation that will not strain justice. Ample proof of these qualities was given by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Indonesia, Mr. Adam Malik, the President of the last session of the General Assembly. I should like to avail myself of this opportunity to convey to Mr. Malik, on behalf of my delegation and personally, our warmest greetings.”

“Mr. President, the delegation of Portugal to the United Nations has always had the delegation of Poland as its neighbor on the left. The two delegations have always maintained mutual relations of peaceful coexistence and even of good neighborliness. In Europe, our countries are not neighbors. But the ancient history of both countries never separated Portugal and Poland in the veneration of our spiritual values, in the keen patriotism of our inhabitants and in their contribution to civilization. In like fashion nothing today separates the two nations in the aspiration, common to both, for a lasting peace and co-operation among all the peoples of our continent. 2. My delegation and I rejoice at seeing you elevated to the highest office of this General Assembly, and we most sincerely wish you, Sir, the greatest of personal success. 3.”
