Nairobi
It gives me great pleasure to invite you to this meeting in Nairobi. It is a great honour for us that you are gracing the United Nations headquarters in Africa with your presence here. As you know, there are four headquarters of United Nations in the World. After New York, the main headquartes, we have Geneva and Vienna. Nairobi is the only UN headquarter in the developing world. Today we find ourselves gathered here at the home of the United Nations Environment Programme, the agency that works to protect our planet’s natural environment, and UN-HABITAT, the agency of which I am the Execuctive Director which works for the built environment. This meeting could have been held elsewhere in this wonderful city, and so it is with a special word of appreciation to Your Excellency, President Kibaki, that we in the United Nations Office at Nairobi extend to you our thanks.

This session of the Governing Council has before it some very important issues and equally important decisions to make.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the opening session of the 21st session of the Governing Council in my current two capacities. Firstly, as the Director General of the United Nations Office at Nairobi, UNON, a responsibility bestowed upon me by the Secretary General last year after Dr. Klaus Toepfer retired. Speaking in that capacity, it is with great pleasure that for the second time this year, we are honored to welcome you, President Mwai Kibaki, to our UN Compound. Your personal presence is a testimony to the important support you are giving to the work of the UN in general, and in particular to the business covered by the UN environmental agencies headquartered here, namely UNEP and UN-HABITAT.

It is a great honour for me to appear before you today, in my capacity as the Executive Director of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), to address the first meeting, in 2007, of the Group of 77 in Geneva. As some of you might recall I have had the pleasure of appearing before your meetings at the time I served as the UNCTAD Director for the Office of the Least Developed, Land-locked and Island Developing States. I was also serving at the time as the Executive Secretary of the Third UN Conference for the Least Developed Countries. I have always been gratified by the strong support, which the Group of 77 has always extended to the weaker among them. So I am pleased to be back. And I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you everything of the best for 2007

Naples
It gives me great pleasure to celebrate the global festivities of World Habitat Day this year from this beautiful city of Naples. Naples is a gateway to the Mediterranean, and renowned centre of history, culture, art – and urban and architectural splendour. The planning of settlements such as Pompei, just down the road from here, still guide and inspire us in our quest for liveable cities. So it is with a special word of appreciation to Your Worship, Ms. Iervolino Russo, the Mayor of Naples, for so generously offering to host this important annual event.
