Prince of Orange Delivers Speech in Bogotá

On November 16th, the Prince of Orange delivered a speech at the 9th Meeting of the UN Secretary-General’s Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation Inter-American Dialogue in Bogotá, Colombia. He advised shareholders of the Inter-American Development Bank and South American representatives to work toward the millennium development goals of the United Nations and said, “July 1, 2007 marked the half way point in our pursuit of the MDGs. Over seven and a half years have passed since 2000 when countries committed themselves to improving the lives of so many still in need. That means we have less than 7 and a half years to go. Our Board is dedicated to doing everything in our power to reach the water and sanitation targets. But, of course, we can only make progress if we work in concert with you.”
