Congrats to all involved!

My congratulations go also to the other members of the Bureau.

Mary spent all her free time last week answering birthday greetings.

I wish Ambassador Joseph Ayologu of Nigeria my full support and warmest greetings for his presidency.

I would like, first of all, to extend my warmest congratulations to you, Sir, on your assumption of the important position of Chairman.

Congratulations have been pouring in from all corners since the winners of this year's much anticipated Nobel Peace Prize winners were announced.

If I may, on behalf of those I represent, I would like to offer you, Mr. President, our warmest personal congratulations, as well as our thanks to you and your team for the service you have given us.

Mr. Chaudhry (Pakistan) On behalf of the Pakistan delegation, I express the heartiest felicitations to Director General ElBaradei and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for having received the Nobel Peace Prize.

For those speakers who wish to express congratulations, in order to avoid disruption for the speakers, I would seek the cooperation of representatives in remaining in their seats after a statement has been delivered.

In that spirit, we extend our warmest congratulation to the International Atomic Energy Agency and its Director General, my friend and colleague Mohamed ElBaradei, on the Nobel Peace Prize they so magnificently received last Friday.

I should also like to draw the attention of representatives to the decision taken by the Assembly at previous sessions that the practice of expressing congratulations inside the Hall after a statement has been made is strongly discouraged.

Mr. Willians Slate (Nicaragua) (spoke in Spanish) My delegation joins previous speakers in congratulating you, Mr. Chairman, on your well deserved election and in congratulating the other members of the Bureau.

Mr. Amorim (Brazil) (spoke in Portuguese English text provided by the delegation) I should like to extend my warmest congratulations to you, Sir, Ambassador Jan Eliasson of Sweden, on your assumption of the presidency of the General Assembly at its sixtieth session.

Mr. Kafando (Burkina Faso) (spoke in French) I should like at the outset, on behalf of my delegation, to join previous speakers in expressing to you, Sir, heartfelt congratulations on your election to the chairmanship of the Committee.

That bad news is tempered by the good news that the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Mr. ElBaradei and to the International Atomic Energy Agency we express to them our heartfelt congratulations.

In the post, she said she had contacted lawyers, but was still asking people what she should do to fight the cyber bullying from trolls who were congratulating her for the 10th anniversary of her latest rape and making other abusive and degrading comments about her.

Mr. Al Jaafari (Iraq) (spoke in Arabic) I wish first of all to express my sincerest congratulations to you, Sir, on your election to the presidency of the General Assembly. I wish you success in performing this historic and humanitarian mission in the best interests of humanity at large.

Sir Emyr Jones Parry (United Kingdom) On behalf of the European Union and the countries that have aligned themselves with my statement, may I offer very sincere congratulations to you, Mr. President, to the Secretary General and to everybody in this room for what has just been achieved.

Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan (United Arab Emirates) (spoke in Arabic) Let me say at the outset that it gives me great pleasure to convey to the Assembly the congratulations of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, on the election of Mr. Eliasson, the representative of a friendly country, as President of the General Assembly at its sixtieth session.

Mr. MARCH (Spain) (translated from Spanish) I would like first of all, at this first meeting of the Conference on Disarmament in 2005, to extend my best wishes to Ambassador Sanders and assure him of the full cooperation of the Government of Spain to ensure that the work entrusted to us proceeds satisfactorily and achieves its important objectives.
