UN General Assembly
1968

4. I cannot pass over in silence the untiring efforts of U Thant, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, in the cause of world peace. I should like to assure him of the high esteem in which my Government holds him. 5. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking the delegations present for the signal honour done to my country by electing it one of the Vice-Presidents of this session. The delegation of Togo will not fail to make its modest contribution in the search for solutions to the many problems on the agenda of this Assembly. 6. In the name of the people and Government of Togo, I welcome our brother country, Swaziland, which has just taken its place in the great United Nations family. At a time when the Organization of African Unity has decided to intensify the struggle against the enemies of the total liberation of our continent, Togo is proud of this new victory over colonialism.
