Expression of sympathy to the Governments and peoples of Sri Lanka and Algeria in connection with the recent flooding and earthquake
The Acting President
Before turning to the items on our agenda, I should like, on behalf of all the members of the General Assembly, to extend our deepest sympathy to the Governments and peoples of Sri Lanka and Algeria for the tragic loss of life and the extensive material damage that have resulted from the recent flooding in Sri Lanka and from the earthquake in Algeria. May I also express the hope that the international community will show its solidarity and respond promptly and generously to any requests from Sri Lanka and Algeria for assistance in their present plights and to any appeal for aid.
