1. “We would like, however, to underline his statement about the precarious financial position of the Organization and to urge all defaulting Member States to fulfil their obligations so as to enable the United Nations to attain its objectives. 4. The achievements in space exploration of the two super-Powers have filled all of us with admiration. We would like to congratulate the United States of America on its successful moon landing. In our view, the importance of this achievement lies in its exciting challenge to all of us. We must continue to seek positive solutions to the problems confronting us so as to create an atmosphere which will enhance the well-being of mankind. We must not allow the progress in our human and national relationships to lag behind our technological advances. 5.”

2. “We would like to take this opportunity also to express our sympathy to Guatemala for the loss of Mr. Emilio Arenales, who was President during the last General Assembly, and who died before he was able to complete the assignment entrusted to him by the Assembly. We all admired the courage with which he carried out his duties despite his failing health. We all share deeply in the loss of a great world statesman. 3. We congratulate the Secretary-General on the introduction to his annual report [A/7601/Add.1]. We know how difficult the year has been for him and for his staff and yet, in the face of all the obstacles, he was able to present us with a report which contains some concrete achievements.”

3. “1. Madam President, I wish to congratulate you on your election to the high office of President of the twenty-fourth session of the United Nations General Assembly. Your great experience and competence in the affairs of the United Nations over the past fifteen years will enable you to guide our deliberations with tact, skill and ability. Apart from the ties of affinity which bind our two countries, we share a common endeavour in building a democratic nation out of many different communities. We acknowledge the part played by your delegation and by you yourself, personally, in the events which, in 1961 led to the admission of Sierra Leone as the one-hundredth Member of the United Nations. We assure you of the support of the Sierra Leone delegation during your tenure of office. 2.”
