UN General Assembly
1966

121. Mr. President, I am especially happy to convey to you the warmest congratulations of Algeria, and of its delegation to the twenty-first session of the General Assembly, and also my own personal congratulations, upon your election to the post of President of the General Assembly for this session. We are all the happier to see you entrusted with this high office since the country you represent, Afghanistan, has had close and long-standing links with Algeria, Your philosophers profoundly influenced the movement for renascence in our country, thus undeniably demonstrating the common destiny of our two peoples. 122. Knowing your eminent qualities as a diplomat, your profound attachment to the principles of the Charter, your integrity and your keen sense of equity, we are convinced that the Assembly will find in you an enlightened and devoted guide for the duration of its work.
