So let me reassure you about something.

Nothing, monsieur, I assure you.

I assure you, I'm exactly the same person.

I can assure you there's deception there.

I assure you it was a mistake.

I assure you I have never been more happy to be relieved of an official duty.

Not here. I assure you there's no one here but me, and I'm really quite harmless.

I wish to assure you of the full support and cooperation of the delegation of Papua New Guinea delegation in the discharge of your important duties.

In this perspective, I would like to underline the importance we attach to cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations and mechanisms.

As South Africa moves towards a new and democratic future, I would like to underscore the importance of the continued provision of assistance by the international community.

I should like to stress here the role of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, which is the main policy making body of the United Nations in the field of drug control.

I should like to express once again our gratitude for your continuing efforts to achieve stability and peace in Central America. Accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.

I sincerely hope that the Security Council will accept our present proposal and I can assure you that the Republic of Croatia shall be always prepared to cooperate fully and sincerely with the United Nations.

As I prepare to pass on the baton of the leadership of my country to someone else, I can only reaffirm the faith and confidence my country has always had in the United Nations system.

After all that has been inflicted upon us, after all the deprivations we have suffered and after all the betrayals and abandonment, let me none the less assure you that we are not here to eulogize the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In conclusion, I would like to stress that the report of the Security Council should be more analytical in future and, more important, we should set in place a regular system of exchange between the General Assembly and an appropriately expanded Security Council.

I should like to reiterate, on behalf of all the members of FMLN, our strong desire to continue and promote the Chapultepec process, our firm resolve not to resume the armed struggle, and our assurances that we wish to cooperate in overcoming current difficulties without jeopardizing the peace process in any way.
