Message from the Director

摘要

The meetings of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAG) and the Governing Board (GB) of the CGPRT Centre for the year of 1997 were held in late November - early December. I would like to thank all of the participants of the meetings for their active participation and the Centre's staff for their earnest cooperation. The TAG meeting was attended by seven out of the eight members and the GB meeting was attended by nine representatives out of eleven member countries. The Ambassador of Sri Lanka to Indonesia took the chair of the GB and the statement of the Executive Secretary of the ESCAP secretariat was read by the Director of the Programme Management Division of the secretariat in the opening session.
