UN General Assembly
2018

My delegation looks forward to a successful seventy-third session, and we hope that the President’s election will strengthen efforts aimed at highlighting the plight of rural women and girls. Before I conclude, let me express our sincere condolences to the family of the late former Secretary- General Kofi Annan. Mr. Annan was a formidable voice on everything, including reform of the United Nations. He stood for a just world and was a passionate advocate of good governance and fundamental freedoms. Kofi Annan will surely be greatly missed.
