Good evening, ladies and gentlemea A warm welcome to you all to this reception. First, I’d like to say a few words about tonight’s programme. We shall begin with a talk by Professor Richard Johnson from Londoa This will be followed by a question and answer period. You will be free to[12]exchange ideas with the professor. At about 8 o’clock tonight when the talk finishes, the reception will[13]go on. And we have prepared some chocolates, drinks and fruits outside for you. Professor Johnson is taking[14]his flight home tonight. Although we would like to have him here longer with us, we’d have to make sure that he leaves here by 8:30.
