Annex XIV to OIC/COMCEC-FC/33-17/REP
101
mentioning the importance and relevance of the “Improving Transnational
Transportation Corridors among the OIC Member Countries” as the theme of
the Exchange of Views Session of the 33 rd Session of the COMCEC.
In this respect, I believe that the outcomes of the exchange of views session
will provide us with strong insights and indications with regards to
improvement of the transportation infrastructure and linkages with an ultimate
target of strengthening commercial ties among the Member Countries.
Esteemed Guests,
I would like to remind you that the 5th Annual Meeting of the Focal Points of
the COMCEC will be held in this month, on 23-25 May. This Meeting bears
great importance in terms of discussing ongoing efforts under the COMCEC
and the implementation of the outcomes of the Working Group Meetings and
COMCEC PCM. Furthermore, our focal points will have the chance of
designing our future works and plans. In this respect, I would also like to
emphasize the importance of including the Working Group focal points and
national focal points, who are coordinating the COMCEC activities at the
national level throughout the year, in the country delegations attending the
Follow-up Committee Meetings and the COMCEC Sessions. Therefore, I
would like to call upon all the Member Countries to facilitate the participation
of the COMCEC Focal Points in the Country delegations in the 33 rd COMCEC
Session to be held this November.
Before concluding, I would like to thank all the Members of the Follow-Up
Committee, the OIC General Secretariat, SESRIC, the IDB Group, ICDT,
ICCIA, SMIIC for their participation and valuable contributions in this
meeting. I would also like to thank our colleagues in the COMCEC Coordination
Office, the staff on duty in this Organization, interpreters, revisers and
translators for their untiring efforts which helped a lot in rendering this meeting
a success.
I wish you all a safe trip back home.
Thank you.
