I would like to take this opportunity to extend my felicitations to other members of the Bureau as well.

At first, when I was little, it felt isolating and curious, and people would do things like congratulate me on speaking Spanish so well.

Mr. Bamba (Côte d'Ivoire) (spoke in French) On behalf of my delegation, I wish to express my sincere congratulations on your election as President of the sixtieth session of the General Assembly.

Mrs. Laohaphan (Thailand) As I am taking the floor for the first time, allow me to extend my warmest congratulations to you, Sir, on having been elected to your important post.
