HRC, China.
Dear Sir
I will be delighted if you could offer
me a space in your quarterly publication (SHP NEWS) to
express my sincere appreciation and gratitude, firs to
my employer, National Electric Power Authority ( Nigeria)
for giving me the opportunity to be in China as a participant
for the 2004 TCDC International training Workshop on Small
Hydro Power and Equipment at HRC. My Sincere appreciation
also goes to the Government of the people's republic of
China by her mutual thinking to provide financial support
to this Center, through the China Ministry of Water Resource
and Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation,
to be organizing this International workshop since 20
years ago.
I will not forget to mention the eminent
financial support given by the UNDP, UNIDO since establishment
of this Center in 1981. I hope they will give more support
to the Center, because the world community especially
the developing countries will never forget the important
role HRC played in providing technical information on
small hydropower design which now leads to finding solution
to the rural electrification problems in the developing
nations. People says seeing is believing who ever is opportune
to attend this international training will believe me
that China has made a tremendous progress in the area
of small hydro, how ever China being No.1 in the world
in small hydro power development is not just by chance
I will repeat once again seeing is believing.
During the training workshop I was highly
impress with the lectures delivered by both the HRC engineers
and the invited guest lecturers, also the facilities in
placed for the training are relatively ok for such a training,
the study tour is well organized, we have received a warm
welcome by all the small hydro power stations visited,
plant and electrical manufacturers, I want to be specific
here the CHINT electrical and equipment manufacture deserve
a credit for their kind gesture.
A credit marks also goes to all HRC
staff especially the coordinators in person of Mr Pan
Daqing, Ms Shen Xuequn, Mr Wuhao is not left behind he
gave us a company all the time, the HRC Deputy Director
Ms Cheng Xialei which despite of her official commitment
also traveled with us during the study tour and then the
chief overall coordinator, the Director HRC, Mr Chen ShengShui.
In conclusion I congratulate HRC for the successfull coordination
of 2004 TCDC international training workshop, the course
is not only a medium for information exchange between
China and the developing countries, but also it enhance
cordial relationship/friendship among the developing countries,
the participant and the entire Chinese community.
Thanks
