On behalf of the American Embassy, I want to welcome all of you to this very special international conference of alumni of the East-West Center…

We know that Center programs build invaluable professional and personal relationships, enhance awareness and promote informed dialogue. We also know you serve the broader community. We were impressed when the East-West Center Tsunami Relief Fund several years ago generated more than $500,000 to assist with tsunami relief efforts and provide long-term support through education and research programs.
