The President
I would like to remind members that the list of speakers has been created on the basis that speakers will have a time limit of 15 minutes per statement. Within that given time frame, I should like to appeal to speakers to deliver their statements at a normal speed so that interpretation may be provided properly.
I should also like to draw the General Assembly's attention to the decision taken by the Assembly at previous sessions, namely that the practice of expressing congratulations inside the General Assembly Hall after a speech has been delivered is strongly discouraged. In that connection, I should like to invite speakers in the general debate, after delivering their statements, to exit the General Assembly Hall through room GA-200, located behind the podium, before returning to their seats.
May I take it that the General Assembly agrees to proceed in the same manner during the general debate of the sixty-first session?
