The President: Mr. Ping (Gabon)
The meeting was called to order at 10.10 a.m.

Hurricane in the Dominican Republic and Haiti

The President

I should like, on behalf of all the members of the General Assembly, to extend our deepest sympathy to the Governments and the peoples of Haiti and of the Dominican Republic for the tragic loss of life and extensive material damage that have resulted from the recent hurricane in those countries. We also express our deepest sympathy to the Governments and the peoples of all those countries affected by the recent hurricanes.

I urge the international community to show its solidarity and hope that it will respond promptly and generously to any request for help from those countries.

I now invite Mr. Boniface Alexandre, Interim President of the Republic of Haiti, to take the floor.

Mr. Boniface Alexandre, Interim President of the Republic of Haiti, was escorted into the General Assembly Hall.
President Alexandre (Haiti)

On behalf of the Haitian people, I thank the President of the General Assembly for the special attention being given to Haiti.

On behalf of the Haitian people, who have once again been struck by a terrible tragedy, I wish to express my most heartfelt thanks for the sympathy expressed by our friends in the international community. This disaster has taken many Haitian lives, especially in the southern part of the country, and has caused considerable physical damage to an environment that, unfortunately, is already in poor condition.

I am very appreciative of the rapid and effective response provided by the international community during the flooding that affected the country last spring. In the face of this tragedy, which is of the magnitude of a humanitarian disaster, I appeal urgently for the solidarity of the international community, so that it may once again support the efforts of the Government in the provision of emergency assistance to those who have suffered.

The President

I thank the Interim President of the Republic of Haiti.

Mr. Boniface Alexandre, Interim President of the Republic of Haiti, was escorted from the General Assembly Hall.
The President

I now give the floor to Mr. Carlos Morales Troncoso, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic.

Mr. Morales Troncoso (Dominican Republic) --> -->
