UN General Assembly
1963

175. May I, at this point, submit, in all humility, on behalf of my country, that it is doing its part as much as it can in this regard, refashioning and reinvigorating its spiritual and physical life, sending to other countries many thousands of its educators and technicians, and welcoming within its borders also many thousands of educators from abroad. 176. In the meantime, and among other things, the Suez Canal is running smoothly and its service to international navigation is functioning increasingly well; the High Dam, near Aswan, is steadily nearing completion; and the Nubian monuments, thanks in good part to the generous technical and financial help from the United Nations, and from many countries and individuals, are now assured safety from disappearing forever under the floods of the Nile. Still carrying well their thousands of years, they will be saved for an ever-grateful Egypt and a graciously helpful world.
