Honorable
Dr. Cheng-Taung Wang, Director General of he Taiwan Livestock Research
Institute; Mr. Ming-Lai Wang, Deputy Director-General of the International
Cooperation Department, Council of Agriculture; Distinguished Resource Speakers;
APEC Member Delegations; Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is my great honor and pleasure to
serve as the Chairman of this important activity of the APEC Agricultural
Technical Cooperation Experts Group, Workshop on Conservation and Utilization of
Farm Animal and Aquatic Genetic Resources.
As the Chairman of the Workshop, I would like to extend my sincere
welcome to all resource speakers and member delegations to attend this Workshop.
This Workshop is convened based on the consensus reached at the First
Meeting of the ATC Experts Group held in Manila in September 1997. Chinese
Taipei is honored to host this meaningful gathering. Statistics from
Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics(DGBAS) showed that 2.69
percent of the Gross Domestic Products came from agriculture in 1997, which
contributed to roughly $NT219 billion of the whole economic pie. Animal
Production alone accounted for more than 40 percent of the agricultural
production.
Therefore, I sincerely hope that this
workshop will build more networks and that the inputs in this workshop will
contribute to the whole development process in farm animals and aquatic genetic
resources in the APEC region.
This Workshop is sponsored by the Council
of Agriculture with the logistic support kindly provided by the Taiwan Livestock
Research Institute (TLRI). I
therefore would like to thank Director-General Wang of the TLRI and his staff
for their great efforts in timely organizing this workshop and their hospitality
extended to us. Now, I would like
to invite Director-General Wang of the TLRI to deliver his Welcome Remarks.
APEC Agriculture Technical Cooperation (ATC)
was initiated at the APEC Leaders Meeting held in Bogor, Indonesia in November
1994, and had been formalized as an Experts Group of APEC in November 1996.
Chinese Taipei has been honored to serve as the Lead Shepherd of ATC
since 1995. Today we are honored to have Dr. Te-yeh Ku, the Coordinator
for the ATCEG’s Lead Shepherd, to present an Opening Remarks at the Workshop.
Since Dr. Ku is currently abroad for some unavoidable commitments, hereby
I would like to invite Mr. Ming-Lai Wang, Deputy Diretor General of the
International Cooperation Department, Council of Agriculture to read the Opening
Remarks on behalf of Dr. Ku.
According
to the Program, we will have a group photo outside the meeting room.
May we all proceed to take a photo and then have the coffee break.
