UN General Assembly
1964

3. On behalf of our President, Mr. François Tombalbaye, and of the Government and people of Chad, my delegation is happy to offer its sincere congratulations to you, Mr. President, on your unanimous election to the Presidency of the nineteenth session of the General Assembly. We consider that your election is a mark of confidence and an expression of awareness: I say mark of confidence, because we are all aware of your impartiality and personal qualities; we are sure that this impartiality is a guarantee that our debates will be properly conducted; I say expression of awareness, because we are all acquainted with your distinguished record, your experience of the United Nations as representative of Ghana and your intimate knowledge of international problems. We also consider that your election is a great tribute, not only to Ghana, your own country, but to the entire African continent. 4. We welcome the new Members joining the United Nations: Zambia, Malawi and the Republic of Malta.
