UN General Assembly
1957

56. The Government and people of Ghana owe a debt of gratitude to the United Nations. In the first place, it was the understanding of our problems and the actions taken by the Members of the United Nations that made it possible for a realistic and democratic solution to be found for the problem of Togoland under British administration, which is now unified with the independent and sovereign State of Ghana by the expressed wishes of the people of Togoland themselves. 57. In the second place, most of the countries represented in this Assembly have done great honour to Ghana by sending delegations to our independence celebrations in the early part of March of this year. Those countries which were not able to be represented by delegations have also done us great honour by sending us their good wishes.
