Your Excellency, Minister of Electricity and Energy of Egypt, Your Excellencies Ambassadors,
Dear Friends from the RCREEE countries, Ladies and Gentlemen,
On behalf of the Ambassador of Denmark, Mr. Christian Hoppe and on my own behalf, I would
like to first of all wish you all a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR and then to warmly welcome all
participants in this Board of Trustee Meeting. Finally, we are together again in order to
continue our joint efforts within the Renewable Energy Sector to the benefit of all RCREEE
member countries! I would like to express our appreciation of the enthusiasm and high degree
of commitment, which you have shown prior to this BoT meeting.
As this is just a brief welcome address, I will limit myself to wishing this BoT Meeting lots of
success in our work the coming days, let us have open and frank discussions as usual among
friends. And last but not the least, we will also have enjoyable social get-togethers.
Encore une fois: BIENVENUE A TOUS, BEAUCOUP DE SUCCÈS AU TRAVAIL - et dans cette
monde en crise et de souffrance de la guerre, profitons nous de cet occasion pour renforcer les
liens et l’amitié entre nos pays et entre nous comme personnes. Je vous remercie.
