Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Friends,

It is a great pleasure for me to extend a special welcome to all of you who will attend the 1O~ World Congress of Consuls being held in the Principality of Monaco this coming November during the 3O^th FICAC anniversary’s year.

Since 1982, I commend the tireless efforts done by the World Federation of Consuls to share experiences and coordinate the work to enhance the status and effectiveness of Consuls and to bring together consular associations and corps from ail around the globe.

Those actions are of outmost importance in an increasingly globalized world in order to promote and strengthen ties and improve exchanges between countries through reliable networks.

As a small territory my country is fully aware of the prominence of the need to maintain strong and long lasting relationships with many other states that you represent and fully support every events in this aim.

I do thank the organizers and express my gratitude to the “Association des Consuls Honoraires de Monaco (ACHM)” for their commitment and valuable support in the preparation of this event that will undoubtedly meet your expectations.
