| In her welcoming address to the Council, Madam Speaker spoke about | the importance of creating opportunity for women. She stated that it is not enough to strive to achieve more and more rights for women without widening the spheres of opportunity, because not all women are given the possibility to achieve their full potential and what they aspire to. |
| In her reply, ECICW President, Ms. Astrid Lulling, from Luxembourg, | stated that they were proud that a woman sits in the Speaker's chair in Malta, and added that more women should be encouraged to take up careers. |
| The Maltese National Council of Women delegation was led by the | First Vice-President, Ms Ninette Borg Grech, who thanked Madam Speaker for receiving them. |
