UN General Assembly
1958

36. I should like to begin my speech by congratulating you, Mr. President, upon your election. I first met you at the sixth session of the General Assembly in Paris in 1951. I received then a very clear impression of the great contribution which you could make towards the work of this Organization, an opinion which has since been consistently strengthened. I am delighted at your election and I hope that you have a happy and successful tern: of office. 37. With regard to the other candidate for-the office of President, the distinguished Foreign Minister of the Sudan, I would simply like to say how much I appreciated the way in which he accepted the decision of the General Assembly, and to express my hope that he will at some future Assembly occupy high office. Because of the long association between the Sudan and the United Kingdom, that would be a very happy day for us.
