hydropower technology from May 15th to June 23rd was held
in HRC (National Research Institute for Rural Electrification),
as entrusted by the Chinese government.

It is for the first time that HRC has ever conducted the

since HRC's establishment in 1981.

other developing countries in training their personnel
and improving the capability of self-development, the
Chinese government has constantly increased the degree
of intensity in human resource development and cooperation.
Up to now, there have been nearly 100,000 officials, managerial
and technical personnel coming to China to participate
in various training workshops"; "It is highly
expected that you continue to pay close attention to the
development in relationship between your own country and
China. Meanwhile, I hope you would become friendly messengers
and make more contribution to the cooperation among nations.
"
This training workshop has gained a
complete success, just as Mr. Plat, one of the monitors,
who comes from Uruguay mentioned in his speech on behalf
of all participants: "Congratulations for the excellent
organization. Course arrangement and study tours are just
proper. The case studies are very beneficial. Thank you
very much."

Nigeria said: HRC staffs have done very well at the organization
and management of the training workshop. Their efforts
are highly commendable. The staff members are very hospitable.

China (HRC) and Nigeria (Represented by National Agency

further strengthened.

firstly I want to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation
to the government and people to this great country, China.
Special thanks to Mr. Pan and Mrs. Shen for their patience,
kindness and diplomacy to all of our participants. I think
this is a world of information and knowledge with reference
to SHP and the lectures of teachers together with their
great experience and professional skill have made the
training very successful and effective. I recommend that
the training be made more public to the rest of the world.
I would like to express my thanks to China on behalf of
my government and company.

training workshop. Nevertheless, the preparation was quite
good.

indicated that thanks to Mr. Pan, Ms. Shen, Ms. Cheng,
Mr. Li and all other training teachers and organizing
staffs. They are very kind and so patient in taking care
of all participants, not only during the daily course
activities but also during many sightseeing and study
tours and even when the participants need some helps.
They, with their warm smiles, are always ready to help!
Thanks to the Director of HRC and all staffs, for having
held the 2008 Training Coursed on SHP successfully and
professionally. Thanks to the Ministry of Commerce of
the People's Republic of China, for giving me the financial
support to participate in the 2008 Training Course on
the SHP held by the HRC in Hang Zhou.
Nevertheless, the training organizer
of HRC will spare no effort to observe, reflect, analyze
and take necessary measures based on the recommendations
by the participants, as there is still much room for improvement
in implementing the training program in future.(2008-06-27)
