A-53-PV.11 1998-09-23 10:00 23 September 1998 [[23 September]] [[1998]] /
The President: Mr. Opertti (Uruguay)
The meeting was called to order at 10 a.m.

Hurricane in the Dominican Republic

The President

I wish to inform representatives that owing to reasons of force majeure, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic will speak today at the end of this afternoon's meeting, as his country has just been struck by a strong hurricane that has caused tremendous human and material losses. The hurricane has also affected other countries of the region, such as Haiti and possibly even Cuba. The reason for this schedule change is of a humanitarian nature and explains the situation as well as the Minister's need to return to his country as soon as possible.

I appeal to members for understanding in this respect, and I trust that we can express our solidarity in this way. We will also be conveying, through the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic, our sympathy and our wish to cooperate with that country.
