‘After so many years representing Gibraltar in the IDO, for the GNDO, hosting an IDO event is always a proud moment and we hope to be able to surpass the success we have achieved when organising IDO events on the Rock in the past.
‘The World governing body, the IDO, is very fond of our country and we are now honoured and privileged to confirm the IDO Assembly taking place in our nation, were we will once again be very proud to welcome IDO member nations from all over the world to Gibraltar.’
