The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has awarded the bid to South Africa to host the 14th World Forestry Congress in 2015. This is affirmation of work we have been doing well. [Applause.] It will be the first time that a congress of this magnitude will be hosted on African soil since its inception in 1923. This honour was bestowed on us because of South Africa's leading role in afforestation. It will afford our forestry colleagues an opportunity to share with and learn from their peers from all corners of the globe.
