UN General Assembly
1988

﻿ I deem it a privilege and an honour to extend to the President the warm felicitations of the delegation of Burma on his election as the President of the forty-third regular session of the General Assembly, we are confident that his long and brilliant career at the national level in his own country as well as on the international scene will stand him in good stead in guiding our deliberations to a fruitful conclusion. I should also like to refer to the outstanding leadership provided by His Excellency Mr. Peter Florin, the outgoing President, to the international community during the preceding session of the General Assembly. It is with a sense of satisfaction that we wish to join other delegations in paying tribute to the Secretary-General, Mr. Perez de Cuellar for his dedication to the Organization and for his tireless efforts in the cause of peace.
