“I have met with Dirk for the first time several years ago. Was that still with i:FAO, with KDS I am quite sure. Dirk at the time was a new editor at FVW. Through these years, I came to deeply respect Dirk as another excellent journalist at FVW and a trusted partner. The mutual respect showed several times, when I was able to inform Dirk "pre-release" about confidential information, being kept confidential until release-time was reached.”
