Little did I envisage way back in 1982, as I grappled with disarmament issues in a cold war era, that I would one day become the Ambassador of Malaysia to the CD and preside over the CD itself, the first time that Malaysia had done so since our membership of the CD in August 1999.
早在1982年，当我在冷战时代处理裁军问题时，几乎没有想到有一天我将成为马来西亚常驻裁谈会的大使并且主持裁谈会工作。
