Ciao Torino

© City of Turin, Italy.

It has been a long time since I posted a write-up on my blog. I am occupied with many engagements like attending an advanced training program in international trade law at the International Training Center (ITC) of the International Labor Organisation (ILO) in Torino, Italy. I am here starting from the 29th of march 2006 and will be here till the 23rd of june. ITC is the training arm of the ILO, which is a specialised agency of the United Nations. Interestingly it is the only training academy of the United Nations and also houses the United Nations System Staff College (UNSSC), the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute.

Turin (Italian :Torino) is a major industrial city in north-western Italy, located on the west bank of river Po and at the foot of the Alps and hills of Monferrato. It is the capital of Piedmont region of Italy and located in the heart of Europe. Torino is a remarkable city ('Passion Lives Here':philosophy of the city of Torino during the recent winter olympics hosted in february 2006) with so much to offer. I will certainly write more about this place, which is full of passion and excitement and my training center as and when I can.

Arrivederci (See you again) !
