Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, Salam Sejahtera, Good afternoon Ladies & Gentlemen.
It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you to this pivotal gathering for the ICOMOS Assessment.
As many of you are aware, the journey we embark upon today is nothing short of remarkable. Beyond these walls and meeting rooms, lies the heart of our mission – the fieldwork, the site visits, and the technical evaluation of a nomination. We are about to take a step closer to the very essence of our purpose.
The process ahead is as rigorous as it is enriching. We are tasked with assessing whether a nominated site meets the criteria for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This, as we all understand, is no small responsibility. It is a testament to our commitment to safeguarding the world’s most exceptional cultural and natural treasures.
Our assessors, the experts among us, will guide us through this intricate journey. They will lead us in scrutinizing authenticity, evaluating integrity, and exploring the potential of each site to represent outstanding universal value. Together, we will peer into the very soul of these remarkable places.
This moment is a reminder of the profound impact of our collective efforts. What we do here today will ripple through history, leaving an indelible mark on the world’s heritage. It is a responsibility we do not take lightly.
As we embark on this journey, I encourage you to bring your expertise, your passion, and your dedication to the forefront. This is a collaborative endeavor, where the synergy of our knowledge and experience will illuminate the path forward.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to each one of you, not only for being here but for being stewards of our shared cultural and natural heritage. Your commitment to this cause is the driving force behind our collective success.
So, let us embark on this journey with enthusiasm and purpose. Let us ensure that our evaluations are meticulous, our insights profound, and our contributions enduring.
