وأود أن أضيف كذلك بأنني قدَّرت العمل مع وفده إبان توليه لمنصبه هنا وأعرب لـه عن امتناني لتحمله المحادثات التي أجريتها معه باللغة الفرنسية، خاصةً في أيامي الأولى في جنيف عندما كنت أشوه فيها لغته الجميلة.
I would like to add that I have appreciated working with his delegation during his term of office here and I am grateful to him for bearing with me during my conversations with him in French, particularly in my early days in Geneva while I was still massacring his beautiful language.
