ADDRESS BY H.E. ABDALLAH BAALI AMBASSADOR OF ALGERIA TO THE UNITED STATES ON THE OCCASION OF THE DINNER GIVEN IN HIS HONOR BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE US-ALGERIA BUSINESS COUNCIL (USABC), ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2008
Mr. Chairman,
Mr. President and CEO,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good evening, Aid Moubarak, happy holidays:
When I left New York, I thought that I was done giving speeches but, just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. To make matters worse, the Washington speeches apparently require more homework than the UN speeches. Anyway, since I’m back on stage, let me start by telling you how delighted I am to join you this evening. I also wish to thank the US-Algeria Business Council for organizing this dinner in my honor and for welcoming me and my spouse to Washington and I would like to thank, in particular, its Chairman Don Deline, its President, Dr. Chikhoune and its Director of Operations, Ms. Stewart.
