Une chaleureuse bienvenue en Ouganda et à la COP9 Le Gouvernement ougandais a le privilège d’accueillir la 9e Conférence des Parties à la Convention de Ramsar (COP9). C’est un honneur particulier pour l'Ouganda car c’est la première fois que cette Conférence se réunit sur le sol africain. Au nom du Gouvernement et du peuple ougandais, je souhaite chaleureusement la bienvenue aux délégués et au personnel de conférence venus du monde entier, en espérant que chacun saura apprécier son séjour ici. Outre l'ordre du jour important de la Conférence, je voudrais saisir cette occasion pour vous inviter à connaître l’autre face de l'Ouganda. Prenez le temps de découvrir nos paysages superbes, notre riche culture et l'hospitalité traditionnelle des Ougandais.
