In my address to the United Nations General Assembly on 29 September 2008, I did extend warm congratulations to Dr. Miguel D'Escoto on his election as President of the General Assembly for its 63rd session and offered my best wishes for the success of his term. I also had the privilege of a short courtesy meeting with Dr. D'Escoto on that occasion.

Our Permanent Representative to the UN in New York is in regular contact with the President of the General Assembly throughout the duration of the Session, on a full range of issues of mutual interest.
