A-58-PV.9 2003-09-24 10:00 24 September 2003 [[24 September]] [[2003]] /
The President: The Hon. Julian R. Hunte (Saint Lucia)
The meeting was called to order at 10 a.m.
The President

I need to get the cooperation and support of delegations, and not only with regard to starting the meeting on time. I have observed that while speakers are at the rostrum, a lot of discussion takes place that causes some disturbance. The old saying that urges you to do unto others as you would like them to do unto you is pertinent: when you are at the rostrum, you would not want discussion to be taking place in the form of a sidebar. I would therefore be really grateful if some attention could be paid to this matter.

In addition, I would appreciate it if, at the conclusion of a speaker's presentation, there would be a little order in leaving the Hall without making it difficult for the next speaker to get the attention of the Hall. People have travelled great distances to be here, and we owe them the courtesy of listening to them in silence and paying some attention to what they have to say. I really wish to thank you in anticipation for your cooperation and support in this matter.

Address by Mr. Joaquim Alberto Chissano, President of the Republic of Mozambique

The President

On behalf of the General Assembly, I have the honour to welcome to the United Nations His Excellency Mr. Joaquim Alberto Chissano, President of the Republic of Mozambique, and to invite him to address the Assembly.

President Chissano (Mozambique) --> -->
