Dr. Mamdouh Riad Tadros, Minster of State for Environmental Affairs, Your Excellency Mr. Khattaby, Madam Malak Akef, the PR Manager of Sheraton Cairo, Mr. Hisham Rudy, the Manager of Four Season Resort, honored guests, ladies and gentlemen, good evening! It's our pleasure to visit this beautiful country of great passion and to attend the first Egyptian-International Conference on Protected Areas and Sustainable Development. On Behalf of the "Love of the World, Peace Cultural Goodwill Group," which is composed of the Federation of World Peace and Love and the Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy, I would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to you for your encouragement and support to "The Cultural Feast of Love and Peace" co-hosted by the Sheraton Cairo Hotel here. We are an international organization, which is non-governmental, non-profit, and non-religious. Right after traveling around East Africa, West Africa, South Africa, and Central Africa, the trip to North Africa is another one to practice the concept of "love of the world, a wish for peace" to inspire people to contemplate the importance of love and peace for the sustainable development of the earth. Our visit is expected to arouse more attention on the significance of practicing love and peace. Referring to fields of technology, economy, education, cultural, spiritual and physical health, environmental protection and human rights, we join together with influential people around the world and international organizations, having similar concepts, through various cultural exchange activities to enhance the mutual understanding and our friendship. We carry out our caring to the globe and show our concern for the world in this way. Through ringing the Bell of Peace, we hope to inspire African people's hearts by the sound of the Bell of Peace, and then the spirit of "love and peace" can be rooted in everyone's heart. Lastly, I wish you and your country peace, harmony, prosperity and safety. Thank you! |
