 The leader of the rice research program also said to me one quick question. Thank you, I think, for giving me the opportunity to speak on behalf of the DG, the government area, and also Tony, who they had previous commitments so they could come to this meeting. Seattle is looking forward to the implementation of this. One of the main reasons is that through this Seattle is getting reconnected with the rice community in Asia and Africa. Let me go back a little bit to 1967, when the Seattle rice program was established under the leadership of Peter Jennings, who worked with him since the year 8, year 22, but since about 3,000 billion years from here. After two, three years of field testing, I am made, and I am 22, got released in Colombia in some other countries in Latin America. And by the early 70s, Singapore, who recently arrived from here, what it is, these three varieties started a green revolution in Latin America. They were crossed to some other varieties of other races from Latin America and new varieties like India 409, where it is. From this one, the Paso Centro-Politico, where it is. These two varieties are made. Great country reason to write production in southern Brazil. That's what you saw last year when you visited Brazil. So, by the adoption of this, improved rice varieties and improved growth management, rice producing in Latin America has more than double. Rice yield has more than double. Right now, there is an agronomic revolution going on in Latin America who has been spearheaded by Florida, Latin American fan of Latin America. So, unfortunately, in the 90s, Seattle went through a difficult period. The rice program got out of, I mean to say, was also reduced. But in 1995, Florida, the Latin American fan for Latin America, was established. This game has a brilliant rune. And now we are working in a very nice way. Seattle Rice Program is doing upstream research, while Florida is doing the more conventional reading and the agronomic work. Through this partnership, which I think is a good model for some of the parts of the region, with the same varieties, farmers are getting from one to three tons more rice, with 20 to 30% less cost reduction. So that means that now some countries like worldwide are in a position to compete in the warm-up. And I think through this, these lessons can be transferred to Asia and to Africa. And I think Greece will facilitate these decision-making. In terms of general blessing, our general blessing has a broad base. He has made a brilliant line from Iran, from Africa, especially from the LATA in the 70s, and then the Interlumpel of Florida, has been brought in by races from Latin America, and any more wild rice species are coming to the picture. Some of them are from Latin America. So right now, these brilliant lines are doing well in several regions. And it's being shared with the world, Europe, and India. And again, Greece will facilitate the dissemination and sharing this democracy with some other countries, national problems. In terms of capacity building, this is very important. In the 70s and 80s, there were at least 10 scientists from Latin America being trained at Haiti. But in the 90s, we lost these opportunities. And now, through Greece, we can contribute to the formation of education training for the new generation of white scientists that this is needed in Latin America to keep the revolution going on and to collaborate with others in Africa, Asia, and Asia. So I think, to Greece, we all are women. Thanks to those who have given us leadership. This has allowed us to give you a new document, a new working plan. Thank you. I wish to comment that the representative of Japan of the Nakatami is not attending the rice conference because of planning sessions in Japan. That's why he's not here. But Greece will also have some very strong collaboration with the Japanese rice scientists in the sector. We're very happy for you, Sarah. Thank you. So I'm particularly honored to be here among the global community of rice research on behalf of Dr. Matron, Sirat's executive chairman, and Dr. Patrick Caron, DGD for research and strategy. As you probably know, or don't know, Sirat is a French-speaking institution for agricultural research in partnership with organizations and institutions in southern countries. Sirat has also done history on rice research. He's best known for its work on phenotyping and genotyping, as well as its integrative modeling from the wool plant to the rice field level, which corresponds to themes one and two of Greece. This area is also developed by French teams in the French FRIPS, its ecofuel, FRIPS initiatives that Anna Jesquière presented on behalf of two organizations. Of the 80 to 90 French scientists potentially contributing to Greece, about 50 should contribute to these themes one and two on phenotyping and genotyping. It means that at least 30 to 40 French scientists, mostly from Sirat in that case, are likely to contribute to the other topics of Greece. For example, we have identified more than 25 scientists who will contribute to the topic of the clan, if I take the word in Greece, that is increasing productivity and sustainability of the rice ecosystem. We have such a team in Madagascar working in partnership with Madagascar researchers from the profile of the university. They develop their work on the rice system in Madagascar for plants and these researchers are developing a pretty disciplinary approach combining plant pathology and anthropology, plant nutrition, agronomy, integrative modeling and Sirat is really willing that this research can also serve the global community in Greece. Yet perhaps less known is the Sirat ability to intervene in the product line for of Greece that is adding more value from rice harvest processing through improved system and new products. Today the capabilities of Sirat are modest in this area but we already have four researchers working in the areas of innovative uses of rice flow and rice husk and especially these rice is an innovative rice-based food product. These are just avenues for collaboration, renewed and open to new opportunities for which the community of researchers from Sirat is less known. In any, let me conclude this brief statement by reaffirming on behalf of presidents of Sirat and IAD that the French research community has combined these strengths with the will to support the development of the consortium research programmes. Working on Greece, robust principles regarding co-construction, co-investment and co-governance were identified and agreed upon among the partners to ensure transparency and efficiency in partnership. We strongly believe this opens promising avenues for new collaboration to contribute to the development of the same Sirat peace to come. I would like to end this brief intervention by thanking the hearing and also the Vietnamese partners to organize these beautiful events. Thank you very much. I know it's behind the schedule but if you agree we would certainly welcome new questions that the audience might have on anything related to what you approve. Who would like to ask a question? Or make a comment before there's enough rice? In case, you know, I have to ask you a question. Who is actually officially going to close the session? I'm quite sure what the programme is. I'm taking the liberty to write a gala, I think I'll probably knock it down, but to take the liberty to once more thank you all for coming and attending the International Rice Congress. We hope that you will be all back in four years. I think it's not an insurance where we will be in four years. It's the next International Rice...
