UN General Assembly
1964

48. Mr. President, we have already had the welcome opportunity of associating our delegation with the expression of deep satisfaction at your election to the lofty office of President of the nineteenth session of the General Assembly, and we should like to express our gratitude to Ambassador Csatorday for being so kind, when he welcomed you in the old year, as to agree to mention the Ukraine as one of the countries on whose behalf he was speaking [1287th meeting]. Now that the General Assembly has resumed the debate in this new year, I wish to assure you that the Ukrainian delegation's congratulations are just as hearty and sincere as ever. 49. People usually bring with them into the new year all their hopes and anxieties, Ina wider sense the same is, of course, true of States and nations. The past year has left them a legacy of many unresolved matters, and these, together with the new problems which have arisen, form the substance of national and international life.
