Earthquake in T¨¹rkiye and Syria

6 February 2023

[As Delivered]

Before proceeding to the items on the agenda, I would like, on behalf of the General Assembly, to extend our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the Governments and peoples of T¨¹rkiye and the Syrian Arab Republic for the tragic loss of life and damage that have resulted from the recent earthquake. I now invite representatives to stand and observe a minute of silence in tribute to the memory of those who lost their lives.
