وأغتنم هذه المناسبة للإشادة بسلفكم، السفير كريستوفر وستدال ممثل كندا، لإسهامه القيم في عمل المؤتمر إبان رئاسته.
May I also take this opportunity to pay tribute to your predecessor, Ambassador Christopher Westdal of Canada, for his invaluable contribution to the work of the Conference during his presidency.
