Agenda item 61
Multilingualism
Letter from the Permanent Representative of France to the President of the General Assembly (A/58/862)
The President
Members will recall that at its 2nd plenary meeting held on 19 September 2003, the General Assembly included this item on the agenda of the fifty-eighth session. In connection with this item, the Assembly now has before it a letter dated 13 July 2004 from the Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations addressed to the President of the General Assembly.
In the letter, the Permanent Representative of France, on behalf of the States members of the Intergovernmental Agency of la Francophonie, informed me of their intention to request the inclusion of this item as an additional item on the agenda of the fifty-ninth session of the General Assembly, in accordance with rule 14 of the rules of procedure of the Assembly, with the understanding that the biennial character of the item will not be called into question and that any resolution adopted at the fifty-ninth session of the Assembly on this item will refer explicitly to the sixty-first session.
Bearing in mind the understanding stated in the letter, may I take it that it is the wish of the Assembly to defer consideration of this item and to include it in the draft agenda of the fifty-ninth session?
The President
This concludes our consideration of agenda item 61.
