Dear Mr. President,
It is an honor to inform you that his excellency the Minister
of Water Resources and Irrigation to him the Egyptian Committee of Surveying and
Mapping is a subordinate and his Excellency the Prime Minister of Egypt have
approved that FIG working week 2005 could be organized in Cairo, Egypt.
We have the honor to request the organization of the FIG
working week 2005 in Cairo, Egypt during April or May that year. The weather is
considered to be appropriate during the working week period.
Cairo is the largest city in Africa, owns capabilities for
organizing international conferences, both political, business as well as
academic. Facilities such as hotels of varieties of classes, conference rooms,
restaurants, etc are available.
GIS systems & IT technology are widely applied in many
organizations in Egypt to support decision making and problem solving. This
provides the opportunities to organize technical tours and create useful
discussions between the working week participants and the Egyptian working in
similar fields.
It will be a great honor if our request may have the approval
of Member Associations of FIG for organizing that event in Egypt. It is worthy
to be mentioned that all members of the Egyptian Committee of Surveying and
Mapping belong to different activities in surveying and mapping and GIS systems.
Further, their organizations provide full support for organizing that event in
Cairo, Egypt and these organizations have the proper awareness for organizing a
conference like the working week 2005 and how to make it successful.
We appreciate if you forward this request to the FIG General
Assembly, which will be held in Prague in May 2000. Hopefully we may gain the
approval of the Member Associations.
Yours Faithfully,
Prof. Dr. Ahmed El-Sheikh
