Mr. Okio (Congo) (spoke in French) Our head of delegation has asked me to read the following statement.

I would like for the record to read out those names and to assure the Assembly that they will be included in the final version of the report.

Following your wise recommendation, Sir, I shall not read out the full text that we have prepared the written version will be circulated to delegations.

Mr. Towpik (Poland) Half an hour ago, the President of Poland, Mr. Aleksander Kwasniewski, had to leave the Hall, with great regret, for technical reasons. I will read out his report.

Mr. Abdallah (Tunisia) (spoke in Arabic) I have the honour to convey the sincere greetings of His Excellency President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, President of the Republic of Tunisia, and to deliver His Excellency's address to this United Nations High level Meeting.

The Acting President (spoke in Spanish) I wish to make an announcement concerning agenda item 73, entitled Strengthening of the coordination of humanitarian and disaster relief assistance of the United Nations, including special economic assistance .

I also ask your pardon, for I didn t mean to say No with such pride when you asked me to unlock my mobile. You see, this request echoes deeply in our collective conscience as Syrians. This request takes me back to the checkpoints in my country, where saying no to such a request could simply get you killed.
