UN General Assembly
1964

60. Mr. President, I feel that before opening my statement it is my duty to pay tribute to the memory of Winston Churchill. The death of Winston Churchill deprived the world of a great man, but that great man is now possessed by history. 61. Mr. President, earlier in the general debate and in the course of a brief intervention, I had the opportunity to express to you the feelings and the heartfelt congratulations of my delegation on your well deserved unanimous election to the Presidency of the General Assembly. Your election constitutes both a tribute to you, personally, as well as to the whole of Africa, whose role in the establishment of world order on the basis of peace with freedom and justice has been rapidly growing in significance.
