AssalamAlaikum Warahmathullahi Wabarakathuh,
It gives me great pleasure to be here in this beautiful City. At the outset, let me extend very warm congratulation to you, Mr Chairman, on your election to preside over this Council. My deep gratitude also goes to the Government of Kuwait for the excellent arrangements made for this Session and the gracious hospitality extended to us. I would also like to express my delegation’s warm felicitations to Secretary-General Iyad Madani for his strong commitment to the enhancement of this Organisation.
