A-52-PV.37 1997-10-28 10:30 28 October 1997 [[28 October]] [[1997]] /
The President: Mr. Udovenko (Ukraine)
The meeting was called to order at 10.35 a.m.

Agenda item 120 (continued)

Scale of assessments for the apportionment of the expenses of the United Nations (A/52/350/Add.5)

The President

I should like to draw the General Assembly's attention to document A/52/350/Add.5. In a letter contained in that document, the Secretary-General informs the President of the General Assembly that, since the issuance of his communications dated 16 and 29 September and 6, 8 and 14 October 1997, Togo has made the necessary payment to reduce its arrears below the amount specified in Article 19 of the Charter. May I take it that the General Assembly duly takes note of this information?

It was so decided.

Agenda item 29

Cooperation between the United Nations and the Inter-Parliamentary Union

Report of the Secretary-General (A/52/456)
Draft resolution (A/52/L.9)
The President

The conclusion, on 24 July 1996, of the cooperation agreement between the United Nations and the Inter-Parliamentary Union, which is the oldest of all the parliamentary organizations, signified a very encouraging development which, to my mind, will continue to acquire ever-growing importance. Moreover, the agreement is very attuned to the spirit of the ongoing United Nations reform and thus should be further strengthened.

During the current session, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 51/7 of 25 October 1996, we will have to elaborate further steps for the practical implementation of that agreement. There is no doubt that our discussion will concentrate on, among other things, the issue of providing this cooperation with a modern and adequate framework.

I now call on the representative of Spain to introduce draft resolution A/52/L.9.

Mr. Arias (Spain) --> -->
