Addressing the General Assembly’s Fifth Committee on ‘Improving the Financial Situation of the Organisation’ he said that even though we have assets more than liabilities the liquid assets are less. He told the delegates that the first thing that he thought when he reached to took charge in New York City was to sell the four-story apartment. Only later did he realize that he couldn’t sell this one. It can be sold only when they close the door to US which is never going to happen.
