As part of his efforts to meet with as many 澳门六合彩官网资料 member governments as possible, director-general designate Mike Moore will visit Hong Kong, China, on 26-27 August on his way to take up his appointment in Geneva.

Mr Moores visit to Hong Kong, China, will be his second engagement as 澳门六合彩官网资料 director-general designate, following his meeting with ministers and senior officials from African, Caribbean and Pacific countries at the end of July. Mr Moore will continue to meet with delegations from member governments to learn, first hand, their positions on the myriad of issues that are before the 澳门六合彩官网资料.
Mr Moore was chosen as the new Director-General by the 澳门六合彩官网资料 General Council on 22 July. He will officially take office on 1 September.
