TEXT OF LETTER

STATE 00000563  003 OF 004 
 
11.  Begin text of the letter: 
 
Dear Mr./Madam Minister: (or other appropriate salutation) 
 
The U.S. State Department will host the Washington International 
Renewable Energy Conference (WIREC 2008) in Washington on March 
4-6, 2008.  WIREC 2008 is the third global ministerial-level 
event on renewable energy after Bonn in 2004 and Beijing in 
2005.  WIREC will serve as a global platform for ministers and 
senior leaders from the private sector, sub-national 
governments, and civil society to discuss and share 
information about the benefits of renewable energy, 
identify best practices and barriers, and consider 
policy options and measures needed to encourage the rapid 
development of renewable energy in their countries. 
 
I am pleased to invite (insert name of country) to send an 
official delegation to WIREC 2008.  Approximately 2,000 
delegates will participate in the three-day conference at the 
Washington Convention Center, and we envision participation by 
U.S. Cabinet secretaries and senior White House officials. 
 
In the spirit of the International Action Program that was 
agreed to at the Bonn Conference, I am inviting your government 
to consider making a voluntary national pledge at WIREC to 
accelerate the deployment of renewable energy in your country. 
The consolidation of national governments' pledges, as well as 
pledges from other major stakeholders (sub-national governments, 
international organizations, the private sector, civil society, 
and multi-stakeholder partnerships) will be one of the major 
outcomes of WIREC. 
 
I look forward to your official delegation's active 
participation in WIREC 2008. 
 
Sincerely, 
Condoleezza Rice
