It is a great honour for me to address you at the opening of this conference in my dual capacity as representative of the FAO and as resident interim coordinator of the United Nations agencies in Tunisia, and to express my great satisfaction in being able to participate with you today at this international conference organized by UNESCO on the theme of The Future of Drylands.
Allow me to salute this initiative enthusiastically as one of the flagship events in 2006, which the United Nations has declared the International Year of Deserts and Desertification.
