First of all I wish on behalf of the Conference and on my own behalf to extend a warm welcome to the new representative of the Federal Republic of Germany, Ambassador Adolf Ritter von Wagner, who is joining in the work of the Conference today. In so doing I take pleasure in congratulating him on his appointment, and I wish him all the best in discharging his important responsibilities. I am also pleased to extend a warm welcome to the new representative of Norway, Ambassador Oscar Vaern^, who has also just taken up his duties. As we are all aware, Norway is a non-member State, but it contributes actively to the progress of our work and we welcome him. I would now like, in keeping with the practice of the Conference, to make an opening statement as Peru begins its term as President for the month of June. It gives me particular pleasure to address you as we resume our work in the Conference on Disarmament and to express the great satisfaction and honour for me personally and for the delegation of Peru to take up the presidency of this distinguished forum for the current month. I should like to stress that the Government of my country attaches the highest priority to the work of this Conference, and that we shall continue unfailingly to contribute all we can
