Mr President, I should like us to take this opportunity in plenary to express our deepest regret and mourning at the loss of Petros, Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa who, together with the seventeen members of his mission and the crew, died in a tragic aviation accident last Saturday, the accident which you too referred to, for which I thank you. We should mention that the late Patriarch was indeed a young and inspired Patriarch and his loss will be keenly felt.
