Honorable Dr. Fernando Chui Sai Ón, Chief Executive of Macau Special Administrative Region, Honorable Madam Zhang Hai Di, President of Rehabilitation International, Honorable guests, Ladies and Gentlemen.
We are now together witnessing the opening of the 2019 Macau Rehabilitation International Regional Conference, which has received generous supports from many
partners from Macau and from the Region, and taken us three years of intensive preparation.
I extend to you all our warmest welcome especially to those who travelled long distance to our lovely city, Macau. It is our privilege and honor to welcome the Chief Executive of Macau Special Administrative Region, the honorable Dr. Fernando Chui Sai Ón as our Guest of Honor.,on the year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of MACAU SAR.
“Together, living no one behind, in disability inclusive and rights based progress” is the Conference theme. We should expect critically challenges ahead in fully realizing the spirit of the Theme. We should proactively manage the many changes we face each and every day. Let us use all our care, competence and energy for creating peace and happiness for our brothers and sisters both in our own countries and in other parts of the world.
Members of the Organizing Committee and Macau Fu Hóng Society staff have been working very hard. I will like to thank them for their dedication, time and efforts. I wish also to thank our patrons, individual and organization partners, and volunteers. Without their generousity we would not be able to create a total environment to support your full participation.
Thank you all for your presence and participation. And you are the very important part of the Conference success.
Thank you and enjoy the Conference and your stay in Macau.
