Remarks by H.E. Mr. Chairman of
AIPO at the opening ceremony of 18th AIPO General Assembly Source: Mofa Your Excellency President,
Excellencies Ambassadors, and heads of Mission of friendly countries, Excellencies Minister,
Honorable Members of the Republic of
Indonesia, Distinguished guest, Ladies and gentlemen,
First of all, let me express our deepest gratitude to one and Only God for his divine blessings and wise
guidance that enable us to be gathered here sound and well, to attend the opening ceremonies of 18th AIPO
General Assembly. Furthermore, permit me to extend our warmest welcome to all distinguished guests. The
holding of the current 18th AIPO General Assembly is pursuant to the decision taken during the 17th AIPO
General Assembly held in Thailand in 1996 in Puket, Thailand. The present assembly has great significance
because it coincides with its 20th Anniversary. We all know that during 20 years of existence, it has addressed a
numbers of issues and this has made AIPO more mature in the international forum.
It has made encouraging progress, even though there are still many things that must be improved, especially
related to organizational matters, i.e. working procedures, working relationship between members and
observers, as well as their active participation. With an increasingly improved organization, it is expected that
AIPO shall enhance its performance aimed at realizing its goals and aspirations.
Upon assuming the post as the president of AIPO, there has been a series of activities that was carried out
such as the AIPO Study Committee on the implementation of AFTA was held in Thailand in August 1997 and
the 18th AIPO Working committee and General Assembly, being held now in Bali. In my opinion, the direct
meetings between AIPO members and parliamentarians of observer countries are extremely important,
because they minimize the misunderstanding that existed before. On the other hand, the numerous dialogues
that have been conducted to date resulted in deeper mutual understanding.
May I avail myself of this opportunity, in my capacity as the president of AIPO and also on behalf of the
Republic of Indonesia, to extend my warmest welcome and express my heartfelt thanks to all delegates and
observers for their kindness and readiness to attend the 18th AIPO General Assembly which in few moment
shall be officially opened by President of the Republic of Indonesia.
As the post, we hope that 18th AIPO General Assembly shall proceed successfully and all of us will have an
enjoyable stay in Bali. In conclusion, permit me to kindly invite His Excellency the president of the Republic of
Indonesia to deliver his address and officially open the 18th AIPO General Assembly.
May Almighty God bestow His divine blessing on all of us. Thank you. Translating materials 1 PhuongLB-AJC about:blank 1/1
