UN General Assembly
1989

On behalf of the Malawi Government my delegation wishes to express its satisfaction over the apparent improvement in the financial resources of our organization. We are also encouraged to learn from the Secretary-General's annual report that greater effort has been made by member States with arrears on the regular budget to settle their accounts, we also note that the programme of restructuring, begun in 1987, is proceeding smoothly and in most cases is producing the desired effects. The United Nations ability to function effectively and provide the various services it has been mandated to perform depends on having adequate financial and human resources. The continued improvement in the level of funds available to the organization, and the improvement in the quality of the personnel who serve it, assure us that the United Nations will be able to continue to provide the invaluable assistance that is so important in enabling countries such as Malawi to carry out their national programmes for social and economic development.
