1. “I would first like to present the apologies of Mr. Amara Essy, the Interim Chairperson of the Commission of the African Union, who was not able to attend this meeting in New York due to other pressing engagements on the continent. He has entrusted me with representing him in this meeting and with transmitting his greetings to the participants. Mr. President, I would like to congratulate your country, Guinea, on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of March, at this crucial moment in which great stakes are the focus of the entire international community, putting the Security Council to the test. Finally, I wish to express our appreciation for having kept all the African questions on the Council agenda, despite a strong temptation to marginalize them in favour of more burning current events.”
