Dear Honorable
Guests and Distinguished Participants;
First, I would like to
express my great pleasure to address your distinguished participants
and honorable guests. On behalf of my country Sudan, the African
continent, the Arab World and on behalf of all my colleagues the
participants from the 12 countries besides our Chinese participants,
I am delighted to be here this morning to assist in the
opening session of this workshop (Advanced Training Workshop on
Reservoir Sedimentation Management organized by International
Research and Training Centre on Erosion and Sedimentation (IRTCES),
Ministry of Water Resources, People’s
Republic
of China and
International Sediment Initiative of UNESCO-IHP) in the period 10 –
16 Oct. 2007, at IRTCES, Beijing- China. I really value the
importance of this workshop for the effective and efficient water
resources management (from the watershed to end users).
Dear Honorable
Guests and Distinguished Participants;
I believe most of the
people of the world and in particular the Africans do love the
people of China. In Sudan we strongly believe that strengthening and
deepening trade and economic relationship with China would
significantly contribute to the healthy growth of our economy.
As you are all
aware, great advances have been achieved in the Sudanese-China
partnership especially in the field of oil development in Sudan,
where China is the biggest partner. Now, in Sudan, there is more
than 20,000 Chinese working on different disciplines and areas of
investments and they are all welcome. Therefore, I am delighted to
stand in front of you today to say thanks to each and every one of
you people of China for the generous help and assistance to our
Country Sudan and other Countries in Africa and in the developing
countries throughout the globe, without waiting for rewards.
Dear Honorable
Guests and Distinguished Participants;
As many of you may know
that the UNESCO-IHP launched the International Sediment Initiatives
(ISI) in 2000 to serve as a forum for exchanging experiences and
ideas to help finding practical mitigation measures for Sediment
management at local, national and global levels.
One of the ISI activities
we are proud of is the ISI conference event which was held last
November, 2006, in Khartoum-Sudan. Over seventy (70) countries and
international organizations participated in the Conference. By all
measures the Conference was successful and categorized as of top
quality and high standards. We received many letters of thanks and
appreciations on this regards. I believe this workshop is a
continuation to the ISI series of activities in the direction of
increasing the awareness and participation on the integrated
sediment management issues worldwide.
Dear Honorable
Guests and Distinguished Participants;
I would like to thanks
the workshop Organizers for giving me the opportunity to participate
and deliver a presentation. Moreover, I would like to thank the
hosting institute IRTCES (International Research and Training Center
for Erosion and Sedimentation). It gives me great pleasure as a
Governing Board member of IRTCES representing the Arab Region
Countries to visit it, since my election in Paris last year. I am
going to deliver a presentation during the course of this workshop
dealing on Sudan Experience with Sediment. I wish you successful
workshop and informative lectures from reputable experts and
professionals on this field.
With Thanks and
Regards
Prof. Dr. Abdalla A. Ahmed
