Visit of High Level Delegation of the United Kingdom to the Secretariat of the CBD

A High level delegation of British government officials visited the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) on 21 and 22 June 2007. The delegation from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) comprised Mr. Martin Brasher, Deputy Director, Wildlife Habitats and Biodiversity and Ms. Glenys Parry, CBD National Focal Point. Mr. Brasher said the reason for the mission was to “mutually reinforce the partnership between DEFRA and the CBD in an informal setting with room for frank dialogue.” The visit offered an opportunity for the officials to brief the staff of the CBD on the latest developments regarding the implementation of the three objectives of the Convention in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK).
