“ Your organisation is very important for international work and for multilateralism,” said Schmid. He expressed appreciation for the presentations by staff, as well as their kindness and humor despite discussing very serious and important topics. “ We discussed some of these topics in our classes. Thank you so much and we are very happy that we could be here,” he said.
