International Commission

of Agricultural and Biological Engineering(CIGR)

Congratulations and Best Wishes to CSAE

Dr Bill Stout, Past and Honorary President CIGR

Nihau! Good Morning! Presidents Zhu Ming, Luo Xiwen, Wang Maohua, distinguished guests, and all the participants here today. Speaking as a Past President of CIGR, it is my pleasure and honor to bring you greetings from current CIGR President Dr Fedro Zazueta and Incoming President Dr Dawen Sun. They join me in offering their congratulations and wishing CSAE a productive and successful conference.

As you all know, CSAE and CSAM are the official Chinese members of CIGR. We value your great contribution to CIGR and to the agricultural engineering profession around the world. CIGR now has about 95 country members. China is one of the leading members. Remember in 2004 when CSAE and CSAM hosted the very successful International CIGR Conference in Beijing attended by about 1000 Agricultural Engineers from China and around the world. In 2010, the CIGR Journal moved to China and Dr Wang Yingkuan became the Editor-in-Chief. In June, 2010, a delegation of about 80 Chinese agricultural engineers participated in the 17th CIGR World Congress held in Quebec, Canada.  Currently, the CIGR Technical and Executive Boards include seven Chinese representatives. I invite you to visit the CIGR website at www.CIGR.org for all the details.

And last, but not least, you are all invited to participate in the 18th CIGR World Congress to be held three years for now, September 16-19, 2014 in Beijing. See you there!

Once again, congratulations and best wishes to CSAE for a successful conference here in Chongqing the next three days. I look forward to participating with you.

国际农业与生物工程学会对

中国农业工程学会的祝贺与祝福

比尔. 斯道特博士，CIGR前主席、名誉主席

你好！早上好！尊敬的理事长朱明、罗锡文、汪懋华先生，各位嘉宾和所有的参会代表，

作为国际农业与生物工程学会的前任主席在此发言，我很高兴也很荣幸把CIGR现任主席费卓.萨斯韦塔博士和候任主席孙大文博士的问候与祝福带给大家！他们加入我一起热烈祝贺和衷心祝愿中国农业工程学会召开一次成功的和富有成效的大会！

众所周知，中国农业工程学会和中国农业机械学会是国际农业工程学会正式的中国国家会员。我们很重视中国对CIGR和全世界农业工程行业的贡献。CIGR现有95个国家会员。中国是最重要的领导成员之一。可曾记得，中国农业工程学会和中国农业机械学会联合在北京举办了一次非常成功的CIGR国际学术会议，吸引了来自中国和世界各地的1000多名农业工程专家与会。2010年初，国际农业与生物工程学会会刊CIGR Journal迁入中国，王应宽博士就任主编。2010年6月，大约有80位中国代表参加了在加拿大魁北克召开的CIGR第17次世界大会，其中中国农业工程学会组织了44人的代表团参会。目前，在国际农业与生物工程学会的执委会和专业技术委员会中，有7位中国专家担任委员，占有8个职位。我请大家访问CIGR的官方网站www.CIGR.org 了解更多详情。

最后，但也同等重要的是，诚挚邀请和热烈欢迎大家参加即将于2014年9月16-19日在北京召开的CIGR第18届世界大会。届时北京见！

再次热烈祝贺和良好祝愿中国农业工程学会在接下来3天里在重庆举办一次成功的大会！我热切的期盼融入到你们之中。
