 | | Prior to getting down to business at the 12th Radio Assembly, delegates had the honour of being addressed by the Captains Regent of San Marino, the oldest republic in the world which is celebrating its 1,700th anniversary. |
 | | In his speech, Nicholas Kenyon, chairman of the EBU Radio Committee compared radio to the San Marino Republic: the oldest media, the oldest republic, as solid as a rock (San Marino is built on a rock), showing resistance in the face of much bigger adversaries. |
 | | In response to this, the Captains Regent stated that "[R]adio- TV, supported by ever sophisticated technologies, as well as by [EBU members'] professional skills, ethics and dedication, is all the more crucial to the promotion of mutual knowledge and understanding throughout the world, a precondition for peace to thrive." |
