Dear All
I am glad to inform you, my dear friends and fellow IRENE coordinators that we hosted another seccessful UN-NGO-IRENE/Asia-Pacific Conference, the 4th of its kind, on 19th March 2009 in Beijing. It was focused on Public Health Awareness in line with the Theme of AMR of ECOSOC July 2009. I am sending you the final Reccommendation Paper and the participating NGOs list for your reference. We received strong support from Mr. Nikhil Seth and Dr. Hanifa Mezoui. Due to crossed travel arrangements, Nikhil couldn't make it to address the meeting. But we are honored that Mr. Sha Zukang, the Deputy Secretary-General of UN delivered a video message of congratulations and encouragement.
We are glad that Hanifa joined us as always and performed her first formal duty as President of UN-NGO-IRENE and Permanent Representative of AICESIS to UN. She has an office in Paris now and will continue the IRENE work with us.
Keep in touch and Best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Cui Jianjun
Secretary General
