Tribute to the memory of Hafez Al-Assad, President of the Syrian Arab Republic

The President

This afternoon, before we take up the items on our agenda, it is my sad duty to pay tribute to the memory of the late President of the Syrian Arab Republic, His Excellency Mr. Hafez Al-Assad, who passed away on Saturday, 10 June 2000.

President Assad was one of the longest-serving heads of State in the world and a key player in the Middle East peace process. It is my sincere hope that, even with his passing, the negotiating process will move forward, on all the recognized tracks, towards a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the whole of the Middle East.

On behalf of the General Assembly, I request the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic to convey our condolences to the Government and the people of the Syrian Arab Republic and to the bereaved family of His Excellency Mr. Hafez Al-Assad.

I invite representatives to stand and observe a minute of silence in tribute to the memory of His Excellency Mr. Hafez Al-Assad.

The members of the General Assembly observed a minute of silence.
The President --> -->
