It is a great honour for me, my delegation and my wife, to be honoured by this great occasion where I am sitting together with such a distinguished leadership who are running this country and who are working very closely with the United Nations. I have been working very closely with Foreign Minister [Nasser] Judeh and I have been often benefitting from the wisdom and far-sighted vision of His Majesty King Abdullah as Secretary-General of the United Nations. In fact, it dates back to even before, when I was Foreign Minister.
