I met the @hdcentre 's @Benjaminsmithis in the @UN General Assembly exactly twenty years ago. Great to reconnect now that we're both in Geneva. / Ben et moi nous sommes rencontrés à l’Assemblée générale de l'ONU il y a 20 ans!

J’ai eu l’honneur de participer aux Jeux nomades mondiaux, dans le cadre de la traditionnelle fauconnerie «kusbegilik». C'était magnifique de voir cette célébration de diverses traditions, et de faire de mon mieux (je suis arrivé 7e). Tout cela grâce à mon entraîneur Serikbek!

I had the honour to join the World Nomad Games in September, in ‘kusbegilik’ traditional eagle falconry. Wonderful to be a part of this celebration of diverse traditions, to meet other Canadians participating, and to try my best (I came in 7th). All thanks to my trainer Serikbek!

Жаттықтырушым Серікбек Қынтуғанның шақыруымен қыркүйекте өткен Дүниежүзілік көшпенділер ойындарына «Дәстүрлі құсбегілік» ішінде бүркіт салу түрі бойынша қатысу құрметіне ие болдым. Бұл әлемнің түкпір-түкпірінен жиналған дәстүрлі ойындар мерекесінің бір бөлігі болу керемет болды.

Я имел честь участвовать во Всемирных играх кочевников в сентябре в дисциплине «Кусбегилик», традиционной охоте с орлом. Было замечательно быть частью этого праздника традиционных игр со всего мира и попробовать свои силы в соревновании. Спасибо моему тренеру Серикбеку Кынтугану!

Ravi de voir ce partenariat se concrétiser entre 🇨🇦 et 🇰🇿 en matière de lutte contre la violence basée sur le genre. La mise en place d’une coopération technique sur cette importante question est l’une des initiatives dont je suis le plus fier dans le cadre de ma mission à Astana
