“With the establishment of UN-Women, the United Nations took a big step forward in mainstreaming the gender dimension into its work. As an ardent supporter of women's rights and participation in all sectors of society, I must commend UN-Women for the way. It has been evolving as we look forward to the establishment of its regional offices. Upon assumption of our membership of the Executive Board, we will work with all concerned to advance the promotion of women's rights and the rights of the girl child. Advancing the welfare of women will always be a prloriÿ for my government and it starts with the girl-child.”
