    • Mr. President, as this is my first time here, like a tourist, I walked the halls of this historic building and admired on the walls the impressive portraits of the nine men who have served as Secretary-General since 1946. And while I appreciated the outstanding caliber and service of those men, I nevertheless could not resist thinking that after eight decades, surely the time has come for an equally capable woman to be Secretary General. We believe Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues-Burkett of Guyana is well suited to be that person. Mr. President, for small island developing states, climate change is not a distant forecast. 8:09:15Copy
