Mr. Zhu Xiaozhang addressed his congratulations to the participants for they had successfully finished all the courses of this training workshop and also he hoped that participants should put what they had learnt in China into practical use in the construction of their own countries and promote SHP development in their countries'.

   Mr. John from Malawi, monitor of this training workshop, gave a speech on behalf of all the participants. Firstly, he expressed his sincere thanks for the useful lectures and visits that HRC arranged for them and all the efforts that organizers made for this successful training workshop. Then he said the friendship between participants and HRC would surely last forever. They would keep close contact with HRC to promote the hydropower development of developing countries. Other participants also said they had learnt a lot from this training workshop and conveyed their appreciations to the help and care that they got from HRC leaders and staff.

   The last agenda of the closing ceremony was issuing certificates and presenting gifts. The participants were very excited and joyful when they received the red certificates which were issued by the Ministry of Commerce and distributed by leaders of HRC. We prepared pen-drivers of 4GB with all the lectures, the photos of the activities and some Chinese classical music included as gifts for the participants. They all treasured this gift very much for they could not only learn knowledge from this pen-driver but also get a lot of sweet memories of this 42-days stay.

   After the ceremony, the participants warmly invited HRC leaders and staff to take photos with them. At the time of departure, they all expressed that after returning countries they would try their best to make more contributions to their countries' hydropower development and they would play a more active role in the friendly cooperation between their countries and China.
