p Comrade delegates,

p Permit me to greet you on behalf of the Guadeloupe Communist Party delegation and through you, your Parties and peoples.

p Permit me, also, to renew our gratitude to the Hungarian Socialist Workers’ Party and to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union for the cordial reception accorded us in their hospitable capitals. We pay tribute to the high sense of responsibility with which, beginning with the Budapest Consultative Conference, these two Parties, setting a concrete example of internationalism, worked—as the Communist Party of the USSR is still doing—to provide optimal arrangements for this Meeting.

Our Party approves all the draft documents finalised at the concluding session of the Preparatory Committee, particularly the draft of the Main Document.
