From my perspective, he was instrumental in me still continuing to work in the field of wildlife management some forty years later, something I am always grateful for, (and which I suspect may be applicable to many other people).
The Director-General and Mr Kuroda agreed to work together to institutionalize cooperation in the field of water management, disaster risk reduction and education.
We know that our work in the field has to be supported by strong backroom capabilities, efficient operational processes, financial management and enabling technologies.
