8. Pereira Sotomayor 女士(厄瓜多尔)代表 77 国集团和中国发言，感谢行预咨委会不懈地作出建设性努力，在分配的时限内完成工作方案。她相信，所有代表团都将努力确保，第七十一届会议续会第一期会议期间不分昼夜的非正式磋商不会成为行预咨委会的典型工作方法。
8. Ms. Pereira Sotomayor (Ecuador), speaking on behalf of the Group of 77 and China, expressed her gratitude to the Committee for working tirelessly and constructively to complete its programme of work within the time frame allotted. She trusted that all delegations would work to ensure that the late evenings and early mornings that had characterized the informal consultations at the first part of the resumed seventy-first session did not become typical of the Committee’s working methods.
