UN General Assembly
1964

2. I avail myself of this opportunity to convey through you, Mr. President, my delegation's greetings and gratitude to your distinguished predecessor, Mr. Carlos Sosa Rodriguez, for the brilliant and efficient way he presided over our deliberations. 3. Three newly independent countries have joined us in this session, and my delegation is particularly happy to welcome these States: Malawi, Malta and Zambia. They, we feel assured, will undoubtedly contribute to world peace and will stand firmly by the principles of the United Nations Charter. With each of these States, Libya entertains friendly and close relations and will spare no effort to co-operate with them to this end.
