Expression of welcome to new members and of thanks to outgoing members of the Council

The President

The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya began its term of office as an elected member of the Security Council on 1 January 2008. During the first month of our membership, we assumed the presidency of this important organ of the United Nations. We promise to carry out this singular responsibility with a renewed commitment to the indispensable work of the United Nations and the ideals of the Charter.

At the same time, in presiding over the Council's first formal meeting in 2008, I am pleased to welcome the other new members: Burkina Faso, Costa Rica, Croatia and Viet Nam. We all look forward with confidence to their participation in the work of the Council. Their experience and wisdom will be of invaluable assistance in the discharge of the Council's enormous responsibilities.

I will also take this opportunity to express the Council's deep gratitude to the outgoing members of the Council -- Congo, Ghana, Peru, Qatar and Slovakia -- for their important contributions to the business of the Council.

Expression of thanks to the retiring President

The President

I would also like to take this opportunity to pay tribute, on behalf of the Council, to Mr. Marcello Spatafora, Permanent Representative of Italy, for his service as President of the Security Council for the month of December 2007. I am sure I speak for all members of the Council in expressing deep appreciation to Ambassador Spatafora for the great diplomatic skill with which he conducted the Council's business last month.
