(Footnotes-continued from preceding page) resumed its status as an independent State, also resumed its separate membership in the United Nations: it changed its name to the Syrian Arab Republic on 14 September 1971. The United Arab Republic continued as a Member of the United Nations and reverted to the name of Egypt on 2 September 1971. 2By a letter of 20 January 1965, Indonesia informed the Secretary-General that it had decided to withdraw from the United Nations.

On 28 September 1966, the General Assembly took note of that decision and the President invited the representatives of Indonesia to take their seats in the Assembly. 3On 16 September 1963, Sabah (North Borneo), Sarawak and Singapore joined with the Federation of Malaya (which became a United Nations Member on 17 September 1957) to form Malaysia. On 9 August 1965, Singapore became an indepen- dent State and on 21 September 1965 it became a Member of the United Nations. 4Tanganyika was admitted to the United Nations on 14 December 1961, and Zanzibar, on 16 December 1963. Following ratification, on 26 April 1964, of the Articles of Union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar, the two States became represented as a single Member: the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar: it changed its name to the United Republic of on 1 November 1964.
