Discours de Mr Paul Wolfowitz Président de la Banque Mondiale

Mme Headmistress, Ambassadors, Parents, and Students,

Welcome to the World Bank, which regroups, as symbolized by the flags, 184 countries.
I know that at the French International School no less than 50 nationalities are represented, and that around one fourth of the students have parents
that work here. To all these students, I appreciate the sacrifice you have to make when your parents' work calls them to travel in the cause of
helping the poor people of the world. For all of you, I appreciate the exceptional worldwide outlook of your school and the importance that it gives
to mastering cultures and languages. I am convinced that this contributes to reinforce positive ties among countries.

As President of the World Bank, I am pleased that the Bank is able to host

this important event in your lives in a decisively international context and I congratulate the young graduates and their parents.

Have a good evening,

Paul Wolfowitz.
