I am especially pleased at the presence of so many other significant figures from governments, as well as of course so many representatives from institutions and civil society from all around the world. Indeed, the attendance of so many decision-makers, professionals, specialists and other actors in the field of development makes the European Development Days a significant event in itself.
A presença de tão elevado número de decisores, profissionais, especialistas e outros intervenientes no domínio do desenvolvimento fazem destas Jornadas Europeias do Desenvolvimento, por si só, um acontecimento.
