Taking the word/floor

Do these sentences make sense (and do they mean the same):


a) "Taking the word, the president welcomed the visiting teams, and wished all the best."


b) "Taking the floor, the president welcomed the visiting teams, and wished all the best."



Note: By this, I mean the president intervened, by making a statement (or a speech).

THANK YOU.
