Co-Chairman Chung Eui-yong
Secretary-General, ICAPP
Dear Co-Chairman Chung,
May I extend my heartfelt congratulations on your March 16-18, 2011 high-level talks at the U.N. in behalf of the ICAPP and its Standing Committee, as you ably pursued ICAPP?占퐏 application for ?占퐋bserver??status at the U.N. General Assembly.
The legal issues strictly speaking can be formidable but with able diplomacy and political will I believe we shall prevail.
We should now ask our member - political parties to ask our respective Governments to activate our U.N. missions and undertake on schedule the completion of the U.N. General Assembly requirements.
Kindly circulate this note to our SC members.
With best wishes.
Jose de Venecia, Jr."
