FIDE General Assembly during an intermission. On the stage at the far left is Sri Lanka's Derrick Perera (FIDE's General Secretary of Asia) conferring with former FIDE President Florencio Campomanes. Standing in the middle is Jamaica delegate Ian Wilkinson and Barbados delegate Allan Herbert making a point about FIDE federation dues to FIDE official. FIDE's continental President Nizar ElHaj of Libya is to the right of that group. ElHaj had complained earlier because the organizing committee did not have placards for the African federations who ended up seated in the rear.

Delegates from Uganda (Enoch Barumba), Malawi (Kezzie Msukwa) and Rwanda (Rugema Ngarambe) confer.
