 We have countless men and women of IOM scattered 11,000 of them in 150 countries and 450 sites. They're very dedicated to the mission and the mandate that Mr. Director Donald elect that you will be inheriting. So I'm absolutely pleased to congratulate you and thank you all for all the candidates for their campaigns. I feel very honored and privileged for every being elected for the Director General. I mean a particularly critical juncture when it comes to migration policy. There is an urgent need to make the case for multilateral cooperation in order to manage migratory flows, guarantee the fundamental rights of migrants and establishing in a sustainable way a close link between migration and development.
