 It gives me great pleasure to invite all of you to attend and participate in the upcoming International Rice Congress. This 2014 Congress is the fourth of this series of events that brings together researchers and really all of those interested in the development of the global rice sector together in one event. This year, of course, it will be held in Bangkok and we're very excited about the opportunities that will be presented. We'll be looking more broadly at the rice trade, the rice community, business opportunities around improving the productivity and availability and affordability of rice for rice consumers worldwide, world-class speakers bringing a perspective that will be stimulating and informative to all participants. And we'll have some controversial speakers, but those will be for you to find out when you get there. So I'm hoping that you will come, that you will have a company of many of your colleagues and I look forward to a vigorous exchange of ideas and the opportunity to chart a new path for rice development, rice research in the decades to come. So I'll see you in Bangkok.
