        I  am  very  honoured to be invited to  this  very
   happy   event  to  commemorate  the  Italian  Week   in
   Malaysia.   I believe this is the first time  that  the
   Italian  Embassy  has  organised  an  Italian  week  in
   Malaysia  and  I  wish  to congratulate  them  and  the
   Italian  Trade Commission for organising it.  From  the
   programme  for the Italian Week, I notice there  is  an
   exhibition  of Italian arts and designs, Italian  music
   festival,  screening  of  Italian  films,  display   of
   Italian  cars,  Fashion  Show and  most  appropriately,
   Italian Gourmet Food Festival.
   
   2.    I am very happy to know all these events are open
   to  the public which is a very effective way to promote
   relationship between peoples of both countries.
   
   3.    I also wish to take this opportunity to thank the
   Italian  Embassy  and  its  Trade  Commission  and  the
   sponsor,   Sri  Inderajaya  Holdings  for   this   very
   sumptuous  dinner and lively evening.  My  wife  and  I
   thoroughly enjoyed the recital by Ms Bonelli.
