Following speeches from Vice-Dean Ramraj, Deputy Secretary Ng and Dr Ben Hammouda, the 25 RTPC participants from 24 different countries and regions in Asia-Pacific received their WTO-NUS RTPC diplomas from Deputy Secretary Ng and Dr Ben Hammouda. A slide show documenting the various activities undertaken by the participants throughout the 12 weeks was screened. The participants gave a group-singing performance, individual song-recitals as well as a poetry recital by Mr Jeev Raj Ghimire from Nepal. It was a very emotional evening for all as strong friendships were formed during the course. Mr. Rajinder Kumar from India gave his appreciation speech on behalf of the participants. He expressed his gratitude to the WTO, the Singapore Government, and the NUS. Feedback on the RTPC from the WTO staff, regional trainers and participants was extremely positive.
