At the end of the Program, the new secretary General Dr. Mohamed Hussein Haji Mumin was welcomed to the platform to deliver this speech as Secretary General. In his speech, Dr. Mumin said.
- First of all, I thank you for electing me as Secretary General and for your vote of confidence. This is an extensively tough and demanding position that calls for vision, leadership, transparency, reliability, and honesty.
- I want to tell you that it has not been so easy but thanks to God we have come this far through. I appreciate your assistance and the support of our foreign brethren. I must inform you that the Turkish people and the country\’s unionized employees (HAK-IS) and Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (Tika) have been a strong pillar in our struggle. We also thank American Center For International Labor Solidarity
- I\’ll strengthen ties with our sister Congresses throughout the world while also forging new connections with those with whom we don\’t already have any ties. Our interactions with the ILO, ITUC, ICATU, COTU- Kenya, Memur-Sen, EATUC, and OATUU will even be fully optimized.
- Finally, I thank you for your solidarity and this gives me more encouragement and pleasure to work with you.
