On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Master’s Program for Developing Countries, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to the Emerging Markets Institute (EMI), the Belt and Road School (BRS) for their achievements during a decade, wishing more bright decades.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) and the prestigious Beijing Normal University fortheir generous support.

My deepest thanks, gratitude and love to this great country, China, for providing the opportunity for international students from all developing countries to acquire highquality education, which supports high-quality development in their countries.

For me, the Master's program was a milestone in creating opportunities for career advancement in leadership and management roles. Through the knowledge and skills that the program provided me with, especially with regard to theories of leadership, planning, and strategic management, in addition to giving me the opportunity to learn and benefit from the experiences of world-famousleaders and expertsin various fields. All of this gave me a competitive advantage to become more effective and efficient in performing my administrative roles.

On the other hand, the master's program helped me understand and analyze China's experience in reform and development to determine ways to benefit from it in planning and implementing reform and development in my country, especially in the post-war recovery phase.

Earning a master's degree also helped me achieve personal growth by enrolling in a doctoral program in business administration.

Once again, congratulations to EMI (BRS) and I wish you further progress and prosperity.

Sincerely,

ALKANJ BUSHRA
