We wish them all the best. Mr. President, under your presidency, this plenary meeting has just adopted by consensus a decision on the re-establishment of the Ad hoc Committee on item 1 of the agenda of the Conference, namely "Nuclear test ban". This marks a new progress made by the Conference in this field of great importance. The Chinese delegation would like to extend its congratulations to you and to all other delegations and express its appreciation for your energetic and effective inspirations, as well as the spirit of compromise manifested by all sides. Here I would like to mention in particular the tireless and unyielding efforts made by the distinguished Ambassador of Japan, Mr. Donowaki. The Chinese delegation congratulates the representative of Japan, a close neighbour of China, on his assumption of the chairmanship of the Ad hoc Committee and hopes that under his guidance the Ad hoc Committee will achieve substantive results.
