General Debate statements
38 statements to the General Debate since 1985, 43,892 words in all. The longest was 1986, at 1,846 words, delivered by Mr. PBNGIRAN BAHRIN.
Of the 29 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Minister for Foreign Affairs ×11, Head of State ×8, Minister of Foreign Affairs ×3, Second Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade ×2. Earlier years are excluded because UN records do not consistently identify a speaker’s post before 1994, and counting those years as though they did would make any state look as though it sent nobody senior.
