In closing, I would like to appeal to you, as parliamentarians, to continue to play a critical role in mobilizing the political will and the resources needed to achieve the goals of Cairo and Beijing. You have the power to turn the needs of your constituents into laws and policies. And we need your special insights, wisdom and dedication to set the right priorities and formulate the programmes required to achieve sustainable human develop-ment. My colleagues, 1 Iook forward to share your thoughts and ideas over the next two days and wish you successful deliberations.
