394. My delegation welcomes HE Pimchanok Pitfield of Thailand as the new Chair of the Council for TRIPS. We can assure you our full support and cooperation and we wish you all success in the work of the TRIPS Council. With that we also wish goodbye to our good colleague Assan Touray from The Gambia. Finally, the delegation of Bangladesh, commends you, Excellency Ambassador Dr Gberie, for your guidance and leadership in the Council for TRIPS, particularly during the most difficult time. I should say that this Council, during MC12, was the toughest one and you were very courageous because as I feel – I have been working here for almost 4 years – I have full respect for all other colleagues, but you are very courageous for taking the leadership during the most difficult time of MC12. So special congratulations and gratitude to you, and we hope that you will continue to support the works of the Council for TRIPS with your wisdom and do stay in Geneva with us.
