UN General Assembly
1983

﻿245. It is a great pleasure for my delegation to associate itself with previous speakers at this rostrum in congratulating Mr. Illueca on his election to the presidency of the thirty-eighth session of the General Assembly. His moral and intellectual qualities, as well as his enormous experience as a diplomat and statesman, are earnests of the success of the work of our session. Furthermore, the fact that he comes from the developing world will, I am sure, leave its mark on our discussions of the problems currently preoccupying our countries. 246. My congratulations also go to the members of the General Committee who are assisting him. My country, one of the members, is proud to say that we shall endeavour conscientiously to help ensure the success of the thirty-eighth session of the General Assembly.
