3. It is with a sense of honour that my delegation today takes this opportunity to welcome the achievement of independence by our sister African nations of Swaziland and Equatorial Guinea. I therefore take this opportunity to convey to the Governments and peoples of Swaziland and Equatorial Guinea our heartfelt congratulations. It is our belief and earnest hope that this newly won independence will naturally be a stepping-stone for the achievement of bigger victories towards development and progress, and for the consolidation of the freedom and unity of Africa. In the same vein we welcome the membership of Swaziland in this Organization, and we are warmly awaiting the membership of Equatorial Guinea.
