The message of greetings reads, in part:
"These prominent events, which brought together top officials of government ministries and agencies, businesspeople, and civil engineers, provide a great opportunity for an extensive discussion on a range of development goals in the national housing and public utilities sector, and in the overhaul of the infrastructure... Comprehensive modernisation, cost-effective management and the introduction of transparent cost processes are the basic guarantee of improved and affordable public utility services.
"I hope that your forum will become a popular platform for dialogue between the business community and the government, and that it will promote the best of the regional experience. Moreover, we need to search for agreed-upon solutions in eliminating administrative barriers in the sector and attracting additional investment for development purposes."
